wwwtp: structures + kid = wth?
So you've absorbed my science into your DNA? (hopefully not haploid.) My chemistry is so stupid a kid could do it? You've hired some really smart kids (literally?) Your kids like to draw on your walls?
No one followed proper safety and so their DNA has been alkylated by the reagents that were inadvertantly left in the fridge in the lunchroom. As they wither away from artificially induced cancer, their child is left to curse fortune, wondering why the science gods stole his parents. "They died for this?" he wonders, a lump of anger at the back of his throat. "This crap is only Tet Lett material."
duo to accumulated DNA damage, you are useful for making boring building blocks in our catalog but not for making babies. Impotency being the most obvious symptom, as the child is helpfully pointing out.
I think the child has demonstrated excellent control of the marker. The letters, numbers, and rings are well formed. Yes, the attachment of the methoxy group is incorrect but she’s not even in first grade. Give her a break!
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs somehow.

I'm beginning to think the haploid explanation is the most logical, which is really disturbing.
ReplyDeleteYour DNA has boronic acids? I think you should see a geneticist...
