1. I would love to see an action movie about a secret agent/particle physicist, if only because it would allow for a setup of the line "Get ready to have the wave function collapsed-on your head!"
2. Why does everybody describe plasma as "atomic soup"? First of all, it's a crappy metaphor, and doesn't really begin to describe what a plasma is. Second, all soup is atomic in that it is made of atoms.
Also, what is with this question from the online survey about the class?
The most glaring problem with this question is that there is no negative choice. Or even a neutral choice. Chemistry here is so good that you either LOVE it or you start a LiveJournal group with your 13 year old girl friends dedicated to extol the virtues of the class. That aside, the answers don't fit grammatically with the questions. "How well did the instructions help you?" would be answered somewhere on a scale between "Not at all" and "Very much," and "Did you enjoy the class?" should be answered with either "Yes" or "No," or else a similar scale. I get that you are the Chemistry dept. (nice abbreviation...too tired to type out the other 6 letters for a survey that will be sent out to hundreds of students? That's fine, just abbreviate it).
74,1,8,8,15,16 on their part. That's Tungsten, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur. WHOOPS.
