    Jägermeister was originally popular as a digestif, an herbal liquor drank after meals to aid in digestion, so the people at the shop would have thought nothing of him buying it.
    4 cans of Red Bull, though...

    It's really awesome and inspiring to see that despite so many years you've been into chemistry, it's still great fun and mystery for you and you still do it with love and you still have a child's joy and curiosity :) it's also amazing to see how you haven't changed that much since you were a ph.d. just more gray hair, but still the same hair and the same face! :D

      +Heavy Osmium My 10th grade science teacher once poured liquid nitroglycerin down the drain. Won't come as a surprise what happened when the cleaners turned on the water later that night. The (minor) explosion did surprise the unsuspecting cleaners though, and they refused to clean the lab after that.
      He also dropped burning magnesium into a sink he'd just poured methanol into. Quite the (unplanned) pyro-show.
      Quite a wonder we all survived 10th grade science. It was awesome.
