When I was in high-school our biology teacher showed us an 'experiment' that was dropping a chunk of elemental sodium into a beaker of water. The class clown kept egging her on to use bigger and bigger pieces of sodium. Finally, she said: "Okay, Joe, you come up here and do it."
The entire thing exploded and shards of flaming glass went flying all over the room.
"In the 1920's, iodine was added to American table salt to help prevent hypothyroidism, which was near epidemic levels at the time. Today, it's nearly nonexistant."
@DJDizzy113 Actually, I remember that same fairy tale. The difference in the version I read is that the exiled princess came back and disguised herself as the kitchen cook, sabotaging her father's food by leaving out the salt.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to blow up anything. Well, I'm probably not going to blow up anything." LOL i blew up something, too, in eighth grade. The school had to be evacuated, not to mention the near by homes and buildings... Well, we all got out of school for two weeks.
well when you hear someone say that oils are one molecule away from something posionus tell them that the very stuff we live off of, water, is one molecule from being peroxide posionous to drink.
Yep, didn't I say this last time? Again I want to reiterate that I absolutely love that you're posting these, but please ditch the Fox music, the THX sound, and anything else from the beginning of these (other than maybe the token "like the hat?" thing). I can't count the ways in which it's distracting and annoying.

Oh I know it was just a mistake, but my point is that the music really shouldn't be at the beginning of episodes in the first place (and would help avoid mistakes like this one). It takes up 20+ seconds at the start of the vid and really makes no sense. Most actual movie logos don't take that long (the Fox music he uses accomodates BOTH the Fox log AND the Lucasfilm logo). I find it extremely irritating, but that said I'd rather him post these with the intro than not post them at all.

It's Onondaga Lake! Take it from someone who lives there.
The recipe AB is using is called Salt Potatoes. (Not very creative I know)

We're actually much more closely related to puppets than we are to chimps. Don't believe me? try looking underneath a puppet some time.

This reminds me of people condemning certain cooking oils because they're "one molecule away from being a poison!"
Uh-oh! Salt is one molecule away from being an explosive and a poison gas!
Speaking of the drawer, I couldn't tell: was there a yo-yo in it? All teachers' contraband drawers should contain at least one yo-yo!
