Chemistry? Yeah, blowing things up is cool.
Physics? Yeah, knowing how things blowing up will work out is cool.
Biology? Fuck off ;)

# Yeah, bloody biologists
They call monosaccharides "simple sugars!" I ask you!
(I helped save b3ta! Crystal Magnet Like a diamond geezer, but better, Tue 25 Aug 2009, 23:09, archived)
# Well, monosaccharides are usually C6H12O6, which as organic chemicals go isn't that complex.

# Kevlar, for example, now that's a complex chemical.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Tue 25 Aug 2009, 23:15, archived)
# Hmmm. Looks like a protein with the alpha carbons replaced by phenyl groups.
Proteins, now THERE's a complex chemical.
(I helped save b3ta! The Alchemist king of the needlessly complicated, Tue 25 Aug 2009, 23:19, archived)
# Yeah, but kevlar can stop bullets.
And it's a polymer, not a protein.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Tue 25 Aug 2009, 23:21, archived)
# This is true. I expect that some sort of exoskeleton made from protein and metal ions might do so too.
Or maybe just chitin.

Although I was being stupid. Those things confuse with their lazy exoskeletons.
