new rant


today in anorganic chemistry, I was sitting in the front row. My neighbour was whispering to me, so I turned the volume up so I could properly hear her.

Distracted by her talking to me, I failed to notice that the experimentator mixed phosphorus with HClO3.


that was 4 hours ago, and my ears still ring.

It doesn't matter in this thread?

Jesus. My Chemistry AP teacher last year, first class, showed us the might of perchlorate.. My Chemistry 2a professor on the first day blew up balloons full of hydrogen for no reason. They have a tendency of doing some outrageous things it seems.

I know a bit how you feel. My Chem 1 teacher last year was demonstrating something or another and warned the class not to look right at it or you will see spots for the rest of the day. I was talking to someone and looked over my shoulder right into the blinding light. It was so bad I couldn't read any of the work my next class gave us, and had to ask someone to read it to me. It took me 3 hours before I could see well enough to read.

Was it burning magnesium?  I can't remember if we looked at that through brown glass or just glanced sideways at it when I was in Chemistry.

The hydrogen balloons thing happened a few years before I took Chemistry, but there were still scorch marks on the ceiling when I took chemistry.

My Science teacher, while demonstrating the alkaline metals, put too much potassium into the bowl of water. Much too much. The water hit the ceiling, and the bowl shattered into two pieces.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Lucky.  Our sodium sample was old and had been exposed to air moisture so it didn't even bubble when we dropped it in.

meh, those are just the lamer ones



the older semesters still tell the story of the laboratory assistant who though disposing of Na and HClO3 in the same canisters was a good idea.


hint: if he manages to find his face, I am sure he won't want it back anymore

That one only counts if he lost it trying to hurl himself over the school.

My chem 2 teacher built something that was more or less a hand grenade. The only difference was that this used Fire and a Fuse instead of a pin. Of course this was back in 1995 when she was allowed to decide what she taught/did in the class, before the schools system stepped in. My chem 1 teacher, the one mentioned before, is the reason we can't make dry ice bombs anymore. She deafened herself in her right ear with one so no one can make them any more. I miss all the fun exciting stuff.

Was it burning magnesium?  I can't remember if we looked at that through brown glass or just glanced sideways at it when I was in Chemistry.

It might have been. She had a big-ass pile of it is the only thing I remember about the experiment.

I think she messed up an experiment quite a while ago.

She also burnt herself with a laser not so long ago.

what kind of physics teacher does experiments that can rip-off arms ?



I am willing to bet that it was a normal accident
