Don't do that.

    Sound advice! Is this the new "Tide Pod Challenge"? (I really hope it's not)!

    SCIENCE, biatch! (Another Breaking Bad reference that will be lost on anyone who hasn't seen it).

    I have never seen it. I don't care what the premises for the show were, but I considered it an insult to my profession as a chemistry teacher.

    I know and understand. I'm sure many honest police officers feel the same about all the shows that glamorize crime and highlight corruption. 

    I like shows that study the many facets of humans (and other species!), how situations (many times $) change people and other beings. I dig all that sociology and psychology stuff. Science!
