HAHAHAHAHA!!! Thanks Harry!! I really was in need of a happy chuckle today....seriously....
EDIT: btw, that reminds me of a 1st semester o-chem experiment when we were synthesizing a sulpha drug and along the way you had to use anhydrous ice because there was a teeeeny issue of a side chain reaction creating tri-nitro-toluene if it came into contact with liquid water...still we all had fun over the hold anhydrous-ice idea to describe ice with no melted liquid component taken seconds before from the ice maker. We did have one guy blow himself up because he was unlucky/careless about it...never made such a mistake again through...still feel badly for him,, sorta cuz once we knew he was not dead it wa sorta funny...
