It would be really ionic--I mean ironic--if a nonpolar bear dissolved in water.

This will probably be boring to you.
In the spirit of the Cartoon Guide to Chemistry.
I wonder what Rule 34 applied to the octet rule is…

Woot! I got first in the state You Be The Chemist Challenge!
This means that I get to spend a lot of time studying so that I might get first place in the National You Be The Chemist Challenge.
YBTC!!! (again)

Yay! First place in Regional YBTC (again)!!!
Yay! Brand new iPod (again)!!! (But this one’s a Classic instead of a Video. Steve Jobs has answered my prayers wishes to have a new model of iPod to win.)
Yay! I’m going to States (again)!!!
Yay! Large acrylic trophy!!!
Yay! (again)
I had better start studying for States. I refuse to not make it to Nationals.

There are my stats for the past while (click on the thumbnail for the full picture).
It kind of reminds me of the ionization energy periodic trend(except for today):

If you don’t get it, “Fe” stands for iron, and iron compounds can be called “ferrous”. Insert pun here.
Seriously, I did not make this up. I learned it in CPOL at CTY in 2006.
Wow.

I was going to give you a comic, but the upload images tool doesn’t seem to be working.
In other news, I’m migrating to flickr. This means that I will have to figure out how to get thumbnails of the right size. This might take a while.
We now return to your regularly scheduled program.
1. The Science Olympiad club at our school is competing in a tower-building competition.
2. We use superglue.
3. The superglue we use polymerizes and releases heat in the process.
4. One kid somehow got glue on his cuff.
5. He got burned a little before taking his hand into the elbow part of his shirt.
6. The cuff was smoking (as in from fire).
7. There wasn’t actually a fire.
8. But when our teacher tried to bend it, it snapped (as in cracked).
