I miss my Matt. He was a trip. The way he said this (and the fact that a 6ft twig of a guy with long unkempt hair was squealing like a girl and making flippant hand motions) was what made it hilarious.
I miss my gay geek. *cries a little*
He was gleeing over an experiment he'd done in Chemistry. I got to do the same experiment the next year- you filled little plastic baubles with combinations of Hydrogen and Oxygen, held the opening closed to keep the gas in, popped the baubles on a nail, and zapped the open end to ignite the gases. They made a NEAT popping noise and flew across the room to smack into the blackboard.
It was awesome.

we wouldn't be able to do that over here, something about health and safety. Seriously, we had to put a safety screen up just for igniting magnesium.
