For those who haven't seen it already...

You really *have* to read [livejournal.com profile] turnberryknkn's tales of lab safety, or lack thereof.

It's hard to choose between 'Fume Hood of Fire' and 'Radioactive Monkey Pee'.

'Fume Hood of Fire' put me in mind of the time someone put hydrochloric acid in the chlorinated organic waste bottle. I can see their logic. It does have chlorine in, after all...

It's a source of wonder for me that during all the time I've spent doing chemistry labs that nobody ever got hurt. Not even the person who managed to explode a great big glass bottle of chlorinated organic wossnames. The fume hood was never the same again, of course...

I did once eat one of my own experiments, but that was in GCSE biology.
