Archived The Hang Out Thread v 7

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

For my final I had to cultivate a colony of bacteria,then with the help of some anti-biotic, cant remember the name,but I broke down the cell wall of th bacteria to inject some DNA that would make them glow in the dark. It was pretty cool I still have my dish and its really full of bacteria, I put some in the corner of my garden, so at night when I look out the window I see my garden glowing...its so cool.

That was in chemistry???!!!! That sounds like biology to me... or a really, really specialized organic chemistry class...

in the one year that i had chem, we had two contained explosions, and one uncontained. that was due to an idiot playing with magnessiam... sulfate, was it...? well, something with magnessium in it. anyways the kid burned off a good portion of the hair on the left side of his head, and had burns on his right hand and arm (which were also largly hairless)

I had one accident like that too... with Sodium and water. And we almost had an ugly accident with liquid nitrogen when trying to see the Ideal Gas law... Oh yeah, and another one in my house... I was trying to obtain Hydrogen so I putted some Hydrochloric acid in an Erlenmeyer flask and then dropped some Iron nails into it... but I has the stupid Idea of putting a lighter by the balloon (once it was filled with Hydrogen gas)... And many other accidents while distilling alcohol... Ahh memories... fire... FIRE!!

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

Ah thats cool with the explosions and stuff. Gotta be careful. The only cool things we ever did in biology were making ice cream and disecting a frog.

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

The only real use I had for chemistry classes is I used some of the info I remembered in my manga. And even then, I twisted laws and info a whole lot.

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

I love chemistry lessons...especially when you mix different liquids together, and you have all these funny smells running all around, and yeah, mini-explosions in the test tubes

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

yomiko, you just had a sucky professor then. in the one year that i had chem, we had two contained explosions, and one uncontained. that was due to an idiot playing with magnessiam... sulfate, was it...? well, something with magnessium in it. anyways the kid burned off a good portion of the hair on the left side of his head, and had burns on his right hand and arm (which were also largly hairless)

dang, looks like I signed up for the wrong chemistry class


ahhh, guys...it's rainy and fall-ish here today...perfect bookstore weather...I'm trying so hard not to let myself go because I know it will end in me buying twenty books that I don't have time to read anyway...but it's sooooo tempting

ooohhh....I just remembered I still have a gift certificate that my brother gave me for my birthday!!

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

Just go to the bookstore get yourself a tastey looking cake or brownie and an expensive fuuny sounding cooffe drink and read to your hearts content. There isnt a bookstore in walking distance from where i stay but there is Tates the number 1 comicbook store in Florida down the street so I go there and read sometimes.

Ah, books are so awesome. Especially if you find exactly what you're looking for

I wish I had a lot more money than I did when I went to Barnes & Nobles and Books-a-Million on Tuesday. Oh well, I have enough to keep me preoccupied right now anyway.

Let us know what all you got!

 

[gdupninja]

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

Yeah the bookstore is cool. If I had money Id go to Books-a-Million in the mall. I've been meaning to get the Mass Effect book. It tells what happened before the start of the game. Cant wait for that game to come out.

That was in chemistry???!!!! That sounds like biology to me... or a really, really specialized organic chemistry class...

Yea, I didnt think it involved much chemistry, but my professor got a special lab package from the company Amen, for all of you that dont know about the biotech company click here. Sicne the company is near to my hometown(about 15min) my professor got the lab and decided that we should do it. It did have some concepts of Chemistry, but mostly it was Biology,which I also love so it was fine with me.

Thank you
yup havent had any vacation yet

Wow, well i've heard that with all the pressure of the job chefs become drunks (maybe we are too late for that ) and also get addicted to drugs. did you take those things into consideration when you became a chef?

kiddin aside i only drink, never done drugs never will neither

[gdupninja]

Re: The Hang Out Thread v. 7

Thats good we should all have a family like that. Im very lucky to have been raised by a strong mother who sometimes struggled to support us but also tried to keep us from getting in trouble like those around us.
Anyway my cousin just got into shcool for colinary arts and I wanna know if you have any advice for him cuz you are a successful chef.

books are awesome, I agree and it's a good thing I get a 10% discount at Barnes and Noble, because of course I ended up spending more than I meant to

so anyway, what did I get...ahhh this is really going to show you guys just how obsessive I am...first I got Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, he is an absolutely beautiful writer, and you might like this one, GK, if you haven't already read it. Basically, it's Marco Polo speaking with Kublai Khan towards the end of his empire, sort of a series of short memories about the cities he's visited.

I also got the new translation of The Idiot, by Dostoevsky, since I have the new one of Crime and Punishment, which I keep meaning to read, and I figure, you've got to follow up C & P with The Idiot; Orhan Pamuk's newest book since he won the Nobel Prize, which is actually a collection of essays called Other Colors, and the best edition of Ulysses, by Joyce, because the one I had to get for school was not the best edition, and since I want to finish it this winter, I decided I should finish it in style

So anyway, there goes my food budget for the week, but oh well

books are awesome, I agree and it's a good thing I get a 10% discount at Barnes and Noble, because of course I ended up spending more than I meant to

i usually just rent them in the library though. I usually read books pretty fast and i remember them for a long time. i rarely reread books. so its usually a waste of money if i buy them... i did the the HP7 book this summer though! *the ending was disappointing... *

I love chemistry lessons...especially when you mix different liquids together, and you have all these funny smells running all around, and yeah, mini-explosions in the test tubes

nami!

chemistry's my favorite subject!!! i'm thinking of majoring in chem engineering or business actually...

Yea, I didnt think it involved much chemistry, but my professor got a special lab package from the company Amen, for all of you that dont know about the biotech company click here. Sicne the company is near to my hometown(about 15min) my professor got the lab and decided that we should do it.

Awesome! I do love the Macro Polo stories. Though he's been known to overexaggerate a few things XD

But books provide food... for the mind, right?

Sounds like it was worth it in any event. Cheers!
