Murder = Tasty

[grapeofdeath]

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.


ETA: I'm the #12 combiner at LibraryThing. I'm going for the high score...

I remember that video! Omg! That was some messed up stuff... I'd throw up...

Nice deduction, too. ;)

I think some of my most interesting stories have come from chemistry classes. This is that same lab where NaOH exploded onto all are graded papers when our teacher lit the sodium on fire. I've (accidentally) lit someones lab notebook on fire. mr_utopia_man ate what he though was salt in a lab and the burning taste he got told him it was not. All the ways we got our teacher Hector off topic in high school... Good memories. :)

Ohhh we did the same sorta thing! Not with chemicals, I don't think they *allowed us NEAR them, LOL!*

[thegrapeofdeath.livejournal.com]

They don't allow us near the pure sodium, but they do allow us near the concentrated sulfuric acid. *shrugs*

Well. That's perspective at it's best, isn't it?

[thegrapeofdeath.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's because we have tons of H2SO4 and very little sodium? They might think we'd waste it...

Murder = Tasty

Sounds about right.

[thegrapeofdeath.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's all anyone needs to know.

[mr-utopia-man.livejournal.com]

How true! Murder really does make things more delicious!

[thegrapeofdeath.livejournal.com]

See, you can learn interesting things in Chemistry.

[mr-utopia-man.livejournal.com]

Yes, but only when it deals with biology. :D

*clutches head* Oy.

[thegrapeofdeath.livejournal.com]

Sorry, odd sense of humor...

LOL. Mmm, death is yummy.

Not just death. Murder is yummy.
