I am always on the look out for a good easy to read science book. And this one caught my eye and gave me a laugh. It anthropomorphize the elements.
Click here to see more about the book and click on the look inside. I stuck on my wish list. It will come out in Sept. Novel approach.

Looks like a fun way to learn.
I may have to get myself a copy. Especially if I decide to retake chemistry.

Thanks for bringing this book to my attention! My eldest daughter will be soon introduced to chemistry and this hopefully will engage her dominant right brain approach to learning.

I remember only a little bit of chemistry from school. Hehe. Everytime, I see or hear about the periodic table of elements now, I think about that tv show "Breaking Bad". A high school chemistry teacher and a former student, riding around in an RV, cooking meth and always running into psychotic drug lords. Great series to any who have not seen it.

My wife and I love that show. On the opening credits I like to see how many symbOls I can NAme.
I have to remind myself that the HS chemistry teacher used to be the Malcolm In The Middle dad. He is such a great actor. I understand this is the last season.![Sad Sad](/modules/smileys/examples/009.gif)

LOL.
I think one of the funniest moments, is in the first season, where Jesse tries to recruit one of his dimwit buddies that has a job waving a sign and explains to Jesse the moves of the job are complex : " There's the helicopter move, man."
Anyway, when the meth batch is repeatedly thrown out for being nasty, Jesse's friend screams at him : "YOU WASTED THREE POUNDS !". Then, he grabs Jesse, lifts him up over his head and screams : " HELICOPTER BITCH !".
After the fight, Jesse tosses him out of the RV and is trying to drive away whilst his friend is shooting at him with a crossbow. I was dying laughing.
That and the scene where the acid eats the bathtub out and it falls through the ceiling.

Yeah, fantastic show, I am kind of glad they are making the last season in a conscious effort to finish telling the story. Too many great shows get stretched across more seasons than needed or compressed into too few when they get canceled. Nice to see a show that has the discipline to allow the story to determine the length.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
Beyond,
That is such an excellent point.

Yeah Jesse is hilarious. Constant use of the "This is for emphasis. BITCH!" trope. (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThisIsForEmphasisBitch)
I love it. The whole show is very good dark comedy. Thought it got a little weird in the fourth or so season though D:
The bathtub thing is just one of many painful examples of Jesse's incompetence. I liked the scene where Jesse literally has a dead body right next to him and main character's wife shows up to talk to him. His legs were even poking out abit from behind the RV if I remember correctly. Horray for inattentiveness!
