Tell me why...


...I am in office at an un-our-home-planetly hour of 9.15 PM?? Fookin all ye people in Big Apple watchin' ova us eh?

The call is going on (and on since an hour and a half) with the Colorado Springs team (yea not New York, I didnt know what CO is called - Big Orange or Small Pear or Medium sized Mango), and its going on even now.

In between, the call shifted from the conference room to a workstation (dont ask why, its "business confidential" you see), and I was there too, sitting and starting at my screensaver, which is awesome by the way, since I work on Linux. My desktop is KDE, and man, they have some amazing screen savers! Boo Windows boohoo!

This time, the screen saver was, hold your breath, chemical formulations of some very interesting substances! Check these out...

** C12H22O11 - Sucrose / Sugar
Betcha you didnt remember that from high school!

** C10Cl10O - Kepone Chlorodecone.
Its a fungicide/insecticide.

** C10H14N2 - Nicotine, an insecticide.
Wha..?!!?! Nicotine is insecticide????!??! Isnt that whats there in tea? :O

** C4H10FO2P - Sarin Enantioner.
Its a chemical warfare agent.

** C16H18N2O4S - Penicillin G.
Next time you go to the chemist, ask for C16H18N2O4S and see him wow at your intelligence!

** C9H9NO3 - Adrenachrome. Its a hallucinogen.
Does it cure someone from hallucinations or induce them and pump the adrenalin??

** C232N92O139P22 - Deoxyribo nucleic acid. Commonly known as DNA.
*gasp* DNA? But how can it have a single chemical formula? Isnt DNA of each individual different? Then what makes it so if not the chemical formulation itself?? Intriguing!
