# Got bored while looking at crystal structures,
so have some C10H2Cl5H2Li2P2S

# Ha!
I've just sent the crystallographic structure file of this to a colleague marked 'urgent'...

# Aaaawwww... If you'd've marked it "unguent", then at least you could've sown the seeds of confusion.
But then, heeding the advice of drunk people on the internet is grossly unscientific.

# Most of science is grossly unscientific.
It's all about the salesmanship these days.

# Well, Colonel, I suggest you join me in cracking open a cold one.
(even though it's nearly 6am here and I really should know better by now)

# Mid-afternoon here.
Which would normally be perfectly acceptable, but it might ruin the paper I'm writing: "...modelling the kagome lattice using the high-temperature series expansion we have devised, we find that you're all cuntsh. Faaahakin' cunsh, tha lot of ya."

# Interesting hypothesis there.

# There's danger in letting the truth out to the field.

# kagome lattice?
I think the sushi shop used some of that in my last maki roll

# You could have marked it "ungulate"
but then you'd have really been horsing around.

And I ain't paying postage on that.

# Lovely, though I challenge you
to run ab initio calculations to support the stability of that bonding and conformation.

# That many chlorines, I expect it's highly explosive
(and have you missed the oxygen for the face?)

# Bugger. Yes.
Saying that, the material I should be looking at has a perchlorate right next to an alkyne. We were a little nervous about heating, but it's ok and doesn't spray half the office with copper oxide...
If it goes well, it'll be an Angewandte Chemie communication.

# Huzzah! Top Journal!
I managed a Langmuir article many moons ago, but I'm a corporate slave now and haven't published in years.

# We've got a spate of JACS and Angewandtes in the pipline.
We found a couple of room-temperature magnets using some devious synthesis, so with a spot of luck...

does your caterpillar metamorphose into a tetranuclear butterfly?
