Why Do I Love Kathy?

[mandysee_mandydo]

Because she explains science like this:

*I look at her pentane isomers and she explains them and starts talking about boiling points and stuff*

"Hydrogen likes to form bonds in a line."

*builds two water molecules with her chemistry modeling kit*

"So you've got these two water molecules kicking it old school, right? And they're dipolar, so the hydrogens are all positive on this end and the oxygen is all emo."

*picks up water molecules and grabs a bond, connecting the hydrogen on one to the oxygen on the other*

"So the hydrogen goes over to the oxygen and says, 'Don't be sad emo oxygen. I'll bond with you. Then we can be happy!'"

It's like having my own live-in Bill Nye the Science Guy. She's Kathy the Science Gal.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. ^_^

BTW. You do realize that your tags show up ginormous according to how often you've used them, in this layout? >_>

Yes, I know. The tags are filtered, though, just like the posts. I was a little concerned the first time. ;)

haha!

That rocks! LOL!

'Don't be sad emo oxygen. I'll bond with you.'

I totally laughed out loud at that, startling the wifey. ;)

Sorry Candace! lol

I laughed when she said it, too. It was totally a serious science moment and I was genuinely curious. Then she said that and it was like:

*blinkblink* OMFG! LOL!

That is one of the best explanations I have heard. Am I allowed to use that at work?

Isn't it great? She doesn't mind at all if you use it at work. ;)
