# TJ
In just a few minutes, I have managed to get 90% Isopropyl alcohol in my eye, drop a processor chip on the floor which bounced several times bending about 100 pins and caught my balls in the seam of my shorts bending over.

To top it all off, I suspect I have burned out the processor and/or motherboard of the friends PC I stupidly offered to 'fix'

The alcohol was used to clean out the thermal compound I had previously managed to get all over the processor pins and inside the LGA socket

# I had a filter funnel inexplicably explode in my hand today.
It contained a compound with encapsulated cyanide and went bloody everywhere. Somehow, I didn't get any on me at all.

# Heh, I managed to make one spontaneously combust once
by leaving some heavily hydrogen-laden platinum catalyst on the filter disc and going for lunch. This is one of the many reasons I no longer work as a chemist...
