A
student comes to a young professor's office hours. She
glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly.
"I
would do *anything* to pass this exam." She leans
closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully
into his eyes.
"I
mean..." she whispers, "...I would do...*anything*."
He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
"*Anything*."
His voice softens. "*Anything*??"
"*Anything*."
His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...*study*?"
Better Living Through Chemistry
On a chemistry test at Midpark High School in Middleburg
Heights, Ohio, one question concerned how to clean the
floor after a chemical-powder spill.
In
detail, I described the liquid I would combine with
the powder in order to dissolve it with chemical bonding
and electron transfer. I was pleased with my grasp of
molecular structure until the exams were handed back.
Our
teacher asked another student to read her answer. She
suggested a broom and a dustpan to sweep up the spill
-- and got full credit.
