Sexual Chemistry
« on: May 31, 2006, 08:38:09 PM »
I noticed in last Sunday's (May 28th 2006) THE SUNDAY TIMES that the style magazine had a rather offensive cover- it was covered in loads of wrong chemical equations- the only 'correct' one was the combustion of ethane, but not even that was balanced >:(! Haha I'm only joking- it was quite imaginative and nice to see chemistry in the headlines (and on a naked woman's body ;D).
Below are a couple of photos of the pictures.
The article itself was nothing to do with chemistry, it was just a copy of a New Scientist article on 'the magic formula' for sexual attraction, and can be seen here.

Enjoy. (But not too much! ;))

All this suggests that the path to love can be somewhat random, particularly for women.
If that isn't true.
I'm not suffering from a mental disease - I'm enjoying it.

Love must be a biochemical phenomena.
"Say you're in a [chemical] plant and there's a snake on the floor. What are you going to do? Call a consultant? Get a meeting together to talk about which color is the snake? Employees should do one thing: walk over there and you step on the friggin� snake." - Jean-Pierre Garnier, CEO of Glaxosmithkline, June 2006

Of course it is, we are one giant biochemical phenomenon, although with my bent towards biochemistry, I might just be biased there :)
The light blinds
So behold darkness as our new light
In our darkness we can see
So with others blindness
We take flight.

That definitely qualifies for the 'You know you are a chemist...' category.   :)
