I just did a? lab ...
I just did a? lab today titrating acid, nothing crazy just NaOH & H2SO4. Yet watching this it dawns on me that even with the Professor's hands the way they are, he would probably get more accurate results in the experiment I did today than me. He's just that awesome! (Also, I'm bad at chemistry.)

my name is Brady, ...
my name is Brady, and whenever The Professor says it, I think he's talking to me for a second. I've never met another person named Brady...?

Chromium in ...
Chromium in trioxide has oxidation state +6, and goes to oxidation state +3 upon reaction. Why is it that when I use Potassium Manganate (VII) where the manganate has oxidation state 7+ in titrations, where it goes to manganate 2+ upon reaction with a reducing agent I? don't get the same sort of exothermic reaction?

you know its funny ...
you know its funny you'd? think with doing what he does his hair would have caught fire by now. chemical handling like a boss.
