Alright, here's an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Whilst I'm planted on my rear end, attempting to allow my FEET to heal from the beating they took from a PSYCHOPATH with MPD - not a TECHNICAL diagnosis, you understand, just an... observation, rather!

ANYWAY'S: I NEED something to do, whilst I'm recovering... So...

Who here has a CHEMISTRY LAB of some sort? Or even a mechanical laboratory of some sort, really! I'll take any distractions from my problems at all...!

I won't break anything, I swear... I DO have doctorates in Chemistry, Mathematics, AND Engineering...!

Please, give me SOMETHING -- ANYTHING...! Because I promise, you will NOT be disappointed when you see me at work with my SCIENCE MAGIC!

	Your.. clinic...? You're an MD, then? Excellent...! Would you MIND allowing me to use your chem lab? I mean, you don't NEED every inch of it for your clinic work, do you...? Or... maybe I can HELP with your clinic's work, too! ANYTHING to distract me, at all, really... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have an MD, yeah. I'll let you have access but only if I can trust you. Chemicals are dangerous and there's a lot of different things in there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, you can DEFINITELY trust me, sir. I KNOW how dangerous chemicals can be -- especially caustic ones...

Funny story about that, actually! I mean, I was a TA, you know as most PhD students ARE -- and a student actually dropped a phial of BASIC SOLUTION on her LEG... And she called it ACID.! As in "Dr Reid, I DUMPED ACID ON MY LEG! HELP!" And if i hadn't KNOWN what she was actually working with, well, I could have made her burn THAT much worse, by DUMPING MORE BASE on it...!

Well... maybe it's not THAT funny a story, but -- I still get the occasional chuckle out of it...!

Anyway's, please, trust me to your chem lab... Because I am BORED to DEATH sitting on my gluteus maximus here...!

	A college major confused neutral solution with an acid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-14 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, no, sir, she actually confused a BASIC solution -- as in BELOW 7 on the pH scale - with an acidic one...! And she wasn't a major in anything but -- well, I think it was education, actually! Heh! See,it was actually an introductory class for like, liberal arts majors...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_theotherguy 2013-07-14 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	Very well. You can use the chem lab if you're careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-14 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh, thank you so much, sir...! You won't regret it, I swear. I'll be right over, as soon as I can get my feet shod! Heh! Where IS your clinic, anyway's? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's on the edge of town, you can't really miss it. Who are you, by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-14 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Oh sorry, I thought I'd introduced myself...! I'm Dr Spencer Reid, of the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit -- used to be called the Behavioural SCIENCE Unit, of course, but... well.. they changed it, rather. Because of -- well, Reasons! Heh! And you are, sir...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bruce, Bruce Banner. I uh... I do science, usually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-14 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed? I guessed as much, from your MD and your chem lab...! Heh! Anyway's, well. I'll be over soon-ish... And I'll demonstrate some Chemistry MAGIC for you... if you want me to, that is, Dr Banner, sir...! ((Ooc: also known as PHYSICS MAGIC, that actually appears to be more CHEM MAGIC to ME, at least...! X_D <3 He's SUCH a goofball, for serious! <3)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_theotherguy 2013-07-15 07:16 am UTC (link)
	Chemistry is magic, kid. It's more than anyone can ever know, myself included. If that's not magic, I don't know what is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-15 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, true enough, Dr Banner, sir...! But still-- have you ever seen a ROCKET in your chemistry lab? I can make that happen - and without damaging a single thing in there...! ((ooc: Do you maybe want to have a THREAD with these two, backdated to YESTERDAY, of course!? X-D <3 Or is Peggy keeping you plenty busy right now?)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_theotherguy 2013-07-15 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	I don't let just anyone in my chem lab. And I'm not sure if you qualify yet. ((OOC: I am a little busy ATM, still making dinner but I can set something up in an hour or so?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-15 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Aw! But Dr Banner sir, you did say you'd let me IN...! ((Ooc: I can set it up, myself! X-D <3 I mean, if you want me to...! >___>)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_theotherguy 2013-07-15 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't say I'd let you play with it. [[Sounds better. I have to set up another Bruce thread for someone else so you start.]] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-15 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	But playing's what I do BEST with SCIENCE and especially with CHEMISTRY! But ok, ok, I'll behave myself on your turf, sir... If you'll only let me IN to it. I'm bored out of my fricking SKULL here, because really, when you can read at 20,000 words a minute rate, well... even an island FULL of books can only keep you busy for so long...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	20'000 words a minute? I refuse to believe that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, really, it's TRUE...! The human brain can actually PROCESS about eleven million bits of information per second, unconsciously, even though the conscious mind can only process sixteen bits per second... And so yes, I CAN read that fast!

((Bee tee dubs, sorry for the delay on this thread, and this conversation, of course! I lost power to my monitor for a little bit, there, so... I just had to shut down my COMPUTER! D-: IKR? Horror beyond horrors...! X-D <3))

	Me too. No offense Doctor Spencer but you'd have to be flipping pages every second or something. And sure you could read I guess in theory, if you had a scrolling screen feeding you the text but your comprehension would be shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_autodidact 2013-07-19 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	Every 1.33 seconds, actually, when you assume the average number of words per page is 250 wpp, and thus... well... yeah...! But I SWEAR, I can in fact, read that fast! I mean, I read this book called The Empty Planet -- 264 pages, and I managed to read AND comprehend it in all of 10 minutes... Well, AND buy it, of course...! Heh! (Reply to this) (Parent)
