Default Groundhog Day Birthday

Someone very dear to all of us is having a birthday today.

That's right, everyone's favourite android, Brent Spiner, turns 57 today.

Happy birthday, Brent.

That would be worrying, and utterly illogical.

Remind me to kill you multiple times in the near future. :P

The guy who sits next to me in the lab has been giving me grief for the past week about being 26 (he's a fresh-faced 23). Everyone else thinks I'm young.

Dude needs to learn a little respect for his elders.

Easy way to give him that. "Accidentally" spill some water on his stool, then get him to drop some potassium and watch the fireworks :twisted:

Or sodium.

As a girl in my high school chemistry class once asked "If that's how sodium and water react, why don't the oceans explode?"

heh... not as awake as you thought? Sodium Chloride dissociates into ions in the water. Of course, the sodium no longer has it's outer electron - having 'donated' it to the chlorine - and so it can no longer react with the water as such. Instead, the sodium and chlorine ions just form complexes with the water molecules. This being how they dissolve in the water, y'see.

What e of pi was describing was salt's reaction in already saturated water - i.e., to remain salt and gather at the bottom of the container/ocean. ((the reason it has an explosive reaction with water in the first place is that the lone outer electron gets 'donated' to the oxygen if there is no chlorine (or equivalent) for it to react with. This forces the oxygen atom to lose the bond to one of it's hydrogen atoms, releasing pure, hot hydrogen. Guess what happens when large quantities of hot, flammable gas are released into the air?))

I got the idea accross. It didn't have the ability to react because of already having reacted with the Cl.
