  • Blue shirt has nice titties!

  • I like rooms filled with hydrogen too, especialy when the teacher lights his ciggerate! DUMB!

    Just neutralize it with chlorine.

  • Absolutely stupid. Shouldn't one at least TRY to figure out what gas might be produced before performing the reaction? Use a fume hood. DUH!

  • Ever heard of a fume hood? Its common lab procedure

  • 10 words to the teacher : Answer the dawn question, when your student is asking one!

    Is it ammonia, is it ammonia?? Maybe I should ask the wall?? he'll probably answer me faster!

  • @tuipale Yep! looks really dangerous...

  • You weren't supposed to put that much alcohol, after the first time, it was enough.

  • How would you get ammonia (NH3) out of KOH + Al ?!? Spontaneous nitrogen ftw

  • i got only 2 words! teacher sucks.

  • it is H [hydrogen] and the black stuff is carbon and something els
