Today in Chemistry Lab we were using different method for testing the presence of Hydrogen. My favorite part of this lab in the past had always been adding a piece of sodium to water and watch it zip around the container. However, since the sodium from our lab was missing, we got to watch a video called
Disposal of Sodium, 1947. Basically they chucked barrels of unused sodium from the war into a lake and watched it explode.
Since we were on the topic of explosions, my lab teacher decided to show us the infamous
Exploding Whale video as well.
After that we got on to the topic of how you would dispose of a dead whale.
Student 1: What about whales that die at aquariums? They must have some sort of procedure set in place.
Teacher: With something that died that fresh, you should just be able to fire up the grills and have a barbecue.
Student 1: You can't just eat an animal that's died of natural causes!
Teacher: Why not?
Student 2: Because murder makes it taste better.
Teacher: What about apples? They fall of the trees.
Student 2: Most people pick them off.
Teacher: You can still eat them when they hit the ground.
Student 2: But they wouldn't be as tasty.
So in case anyone was wondering: murder makes things tasty.
