Did you know that if you swallowed a flashlight battery, it would react with your stomach acids to create hydrogen and chlorine gases?

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!
