I really appreciate this effort! I make this left turn with some regularity.

Now if only the drivers would stop for the flashing signal, I’d be golden!

NMR acronyms such as COSY and DOSY are an elaborate cover story. In fact, all NMR spectra are made up by small, cute sprites who can be summoned by spinning liquids at a magic angle.

The reason atoms form an octet is because chemistry is ruled by communism and excess electrons are redistributed to the proletariat. Expanded octets are propaganda from the bourgeoisie

This one is especially great to share after your politically dubious extended family are a couple drinks in

You have to buy different NMRs in the southern hemisphere because the nuclei spin in the opposite direction there

All Agilent HPLCs are designed to have 23 more leak detectors than required due to a gambling debt incurred by Bill Hewlett to an electronics magnate in 1967.

And the pastry cutouts are a fabulous touch, too!

Huh, I guess you get a LOT of reducing equivalents per gram that way

I had good luck desulfonylating an alpha-sulfonyl ketone using activated Zn dust (wash dilute HCl, EtOH, Et2O, dry) in DMA if MeOH is problematic for solubility or reactivity reasons!
