hey, i like chemistry and i'm a physicist!! Scientists unite! I do have a real question tho. You know how there are lots of popular physics and astronomy books (brief history of time, the elegant universe, etc)? Do you know of any fun popular chemistry books? i'm having trouble finding some to read. anything chemistry-related would be awesome. help a science-girl out! thanks!

Sciences unite!

I would recommend "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean. It's a biography of the periodic table and a good read full of fun science stories!

An opinion on gun control

have you read this? it is looooooong but vereh vereh good. The most exhaustive thing i've read on gun control. A no-nonsense, common sense approach. It's fantastic.   http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/an-opinion-on-gun-control/

Haven't read it, but I will definitely give it a look.

Thanks.

i thought you'd like this political quote from the BESTBOOKEVER.“Perhaps what I am about to say may seem strange to you, who are socialists, and vaunt humanity and your duty to your neighbor, but I never seek to protect society who does not protect me, and whom I will even say, in general, occupies itself about me only to injure me; and thus giving them a low place in my esteem, and preserving a neutrality towards them, it is society and my neighbor who are indebted to me -Count of monte cristo

Great book!

oh, i was quoting thor. i don’t like the news, just that you’re the only sensible person on my dash.

I figured that was the case.

If this wasn't so depressing I would have giggled.
