h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Or does the chemical structure for Pentaborate suggest one of Monty Python's Gumbys stomping down the road, shouting out that his brain hurts... it looks like a dot-to-dot designed by Terry Gilliam...

wow, fourth-year O-level chemistry revisited and bringing back memories of the strange smell permeating the labs... I think I learnt something here, too, which is the measure of a science-based article when it leaps out at an arts grad to mug him with chemistry..

AP. We chemists are always looking for real objects in chemical structures. For example, if you stand the molecular model for ethanol the right way, it looks loke a puppy dog

Glad you feel you learned something. I sometimes wonder whether the chemical-based Entries are too abstract, so it's nice to get this sort of feedback
