Teaherisms #4: We've Got Chemistry!

Today in my 8am organic chemistry class, we were discussing how certain chemical elements react. We were told that elements that are more reactive are less selective with whom they react and those that are less reactive are more selective. Our teacher told us to remember it like this: "When you are 15, you are really reactive...and you don't care who you react with, as long as you are reacting. But when you are 25, you are less reactive and much more selective." This was a hoot all on its own, but then he paused and added "However, then you hit 5o and aren't reactive at all." Niiiice. The whole situation was made that much better by the fact that he was wearing a full Sponge-Bob Square Pants costume. He really wanted to dress up for Halloween and we don't have class on Tuesdays. He was sure to point out the "strategically placed tie" as he called it (it hung right over his crotch.) We were ROARING with laughter....that's one way to start the day! :D
