“who gave you hydrochloric acid (presumably concentrated enough to do serious harm), and for god’s sake, why were you heating it with a Bunsen burner?”
I’m glad you snarked that question.
I’m sure I don’t remember, it was in 1962 when I was in the 11th grade. I do remember that it boiled over and splattered on me, my clothes, and my face.
I’m sure nothing like that probably happened in your generation. But I do remember dealing with both hydrochloric AND Sulpheric acids in chemistry class. As I wasn’t particularly into “chemistry” as a class, or a career, I was just following workbook assignments.
The teacher is long gone (and probably wouldn’t remember me out of her thousands of students over the years) and many of my classmates (whom I barely remember more than one or two) are probably gone, too, I can’t answer your question.
But it’s hard to forget the acid, and being coated with baking soda at school...especially still wearing some of it for the rest of the school day.
I wish I could answer your probing, holier-than-thou question, but the statute of limitations has expired on that particular memory.
The POINT WAS, it would be wise for the Brits to carry a small bag of baking soda, just in case, as it prevented any burns on me...(but not the acid burn holes in my shirt).
Oh, BTW, the SCHOOL doesn’t exist any longer, either.
What’s next? A lawsuit?
I have two boxes in a plastic bag in my truck.
Thinking about putting together a very small backpack for my GoPro H5, my 10 inch tablet and "a few other things."
I will have two more boxes in that as well.
Probably will not have much trouble here in Dallas with the muzz.
Well, there was that thing in Garland three years ago...
.
Amazing, isn’t it? I’m convinced the media seek out quotes from Muzzies on purpose in order to prove how “innocent” most of them “really are.”
Everybody should kneel and everything will be much better.
heating hydrochloric acid yields hcl gas (to say nothing of heating it to the point of boiling, FFS), which is flatly dangerous to breath, even in the golden age of learning that you’re peddling today.
either you remember this imprecisely, or that teacher was doing incredibly stupid sh*t with other people’s kids.
although I do find it mildly amusing when people think they can pinpoint someone’s “generation” based on a sentence posted on the al gore’s anonymous interwebz.
You asked, I told you...now, leave me the fuck alone.
Good to know.
as the mayor said and I paraphrase, just another day in a big city.
The “peaceful Islamic invasion” includes discouraging tourism, moving christians and others out, sharia law, and muslim politicians. All are underway in Londonistan.
Thanks for the correction.
Not when the most popular baby boy name in Londonstan is Muhhamed for four years running.
Acid attacks are just part of living in a city. #LondonMayor
“who gave you hydrochloric acid (presumably concentrated enough to do serious harm), and for god’s sake, why were you heating it with a Bunsen burner?”
To get high. Duh!
In Chemistry class, we have test tubes in front of us with small swabs. The teacher announces we will be tasting acids to learn about their properties. I look over and the class stoner is sticking his finger in the test tube and licking it as the teacher says “..after we dilute it”.
He’s now a Christian counselor for people with addictions.
that escalated quickly.
There was a time the three most common male names in England were Thomas, Richard and Harold.
Thus the origin of the expression “every Tom, Dick and Harry”.
Those days are long passed.
