Oh chemis tree, oh chemis tree, Full of bases and acids, Oh chemis tree, oh chemis tree, How lovely are your reactions ♫
Oh chemis tree, you are comprised, Of gases, salts, and alkalines. And when I add a catalyst, You change in ways I can’t resist. ♫

Redditor jotun86 shared this photo of a christmas tree chemis tree made of science lab equipment. It was created by chemistry students at Monmouth College to surprise their professor. It’s a sciencetastic Christmas!

Later in the same thread Redditor emuulay shared this photo of yet another student-made chemis tree:

my friend is studying for the mcat and was just trying to explain to me about heat transfer and she said ‘you know, like the reason you get cold when you go outside on a freezing day is that your tiny human body is trying to warm up the entire universe’ and i think that’s the best thing i have ever heard

One helen is sufficient good looks to launch one thousand ships, and to cause the destruction by fire of an entire city. The objective standards of Ship Launching and Arson may now be used to analyze feminine beauty. […] The table below will be of assistance: - Attohelen (ah) 10-18 helens: Light up a Lucky While Strolling past a Shipyard - Femtohelen (fh) 10-15 helens: Burn a Dinner Candle & Spit a Toothpick into a Water Glass - Picohelen (ph) 10-12 helens: Barbecue a Couple of Steaks & Toss an Inner Tube Into the Pool - Nanohelen (nh) 10-9 helens: Send the Old Man on a Canoe Trip & Build a Good Roaring Blaze in the Fireplace - Microhelen (µh) 10-6 helens: Christen a Motor Boat & Start a Grass Fire - Millihelen (mh) 10-3 helens: Launch One Homeric Warship & Burn Down a House - Centihelen (ch) 10-2 helens: Incinerate a City Block & Launch Christopher Columbus’ Entire Fleet: The “Niña” (40 tons), the “Pinta” (50 tons) and the “Santa Maria” (100 tons) - Decihelen (dh) 10-1 helens: Torch the Central Business District of Oakland, California, & Launch the Clipper Ship “Flying Cloud” (1783 tons) - Helen (h): Raze One City & Launch the WWI US Battleship “Delaware” (20,000 tons) - Dekahelen (dah) 10 helens: Oversee the Incendiary Bombing of Ten Cities and Launch the Aircraft Carriers “Theodore Roosevelt” (91,487 tons) and “Dwight D. Eisenhower (91,487 tons) - Hectohelen (hh) 102 helens: Instigate a Major Modern Conflict & Launch the Oil Platform “Stratfjord B” (with ballast, 899,360 tons), the Supertanker “Seawise Giant” (624,038 dead- weight tonnage); the Oil/Ore Carrier “World Gala” (282,460 dwt tonnage) and the Bulk-Ore Tanker “Hoei Maru” (208,000 dwt tonnage) - Kilohelen (kh) 103 helens: Launch the Equivalent of One Million Greek Warships & Spark a Nuclear Confrontation - Megahelen (Mh) 106 helens: Launch the Equivalent of One Billion Greek Warships & Blow Up the World - Gigahelen (Gh) 109 helens: Launch the Equivalent of One Trillion Greek Warships & Destroy the Solar System - Terahelen (Th) 1012 helens: Launch the Equivalent of One Thousand Trillion Greek Warships and Make Serious Inroads on the Welfare of the Galaxy It is to be hoped that beauty exceeding the Hectohelen class evades even the most ambitious.
