  2. Also his first novel, The Swimming Pool Library. I liked that one the best; he seems one of those writers who to some extent have one book in them that they write over and over. (Not a criticism.)
  3. You know me too well. Most of my experiments were off-label as it was.
  4. I heard it age six when my father told it to me in 1965. He had just gotten me a chemistry set I had coveted for months. I thought that rhyme was the most hilarious thing ever. (It did disappoint me that the kit contained hydrochloric acid but not sulfuric acid. )
  5. Little Sally took a drink But she shall drink no more For what she thought was H2O Was H2SO4! http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/h2so4/bart.gif
  6. The offshore-platform construction biz, where various components are often fabricated by different suppliers far distant from one another, has a saying when it comes time to assemble everything: Beat it to fit, and paint it to match!
  7. I don't know the story. But renovations / revamps of existing structures (80% of global construction spending is on so-called brownfield work, i.e., modifying something that already exists, as opposed to "greenfield" new construction) are plagued with these "field clashes" between new work and the "existing conditions." Usually they are resolved more intelligently than this, if only barely.
  8. Bit of engineer-specific humor. A real picture, btw, not Photoshopped.
