We're thinking about getting tee-shirts made with the diagram on the front and the citation on the back.

I don't get the joke. Is it that you cannot carry out a characterization of ruthenium polypyridine complexes by means of positive ion electrospray?

Don't ask me. My browser cut off the right side of the page so I couldn't tell what happened when you add the green hammer and the Christmas wreath.

It was about Slave's hair. Not ruling out your theory, though.

Are you serious? re-read this part: "This complex exhibited aggregation phenomena in aqueous solution, involving π−π stacking of the planar, hydrophobic BPEB ligands. According to NMR measurements and variable-temperature experiments, the addition of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) to [Ru(bpy)2Cl(BPEB)]+ leads to an inclusion complex, breaking down the aggregated array. "

the joke is xenophobic, but it goes something like this, "Only a south american chemist would do aggregation testing, by running actual variable temp experiments- i mean can't they run simulations? maybe if they bought less pisco they could afford some chemometric software."

plus "inclusion complex" sounds funny.

Acrodunk is fun to watch. This performance was tarted up for TV but still good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wgG6vb77Bs

Their original audition was better from a pure dunking perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LHF4mLtPvc

So I pulled off the 401 in Mississauga yesterday to grab a bite at Tim Hortons and thought of GWNC.

The internet leads to strange associations.

I read an article that Tim Horton's is (or has) taken over 12 Dunkin' Donuts locations in New York City and thought of both of you.

That's ironic and shit because yesterday I pulled Tim Horton off Gwinky and then I bit and grabbed her. I did not think of you though.

The punchline was Mississauga.

Tells me nothing about the DD franchisee re-flagging. Which I took to be G's question. But I guess he may have actually been asking for locations.

I assumed "site" meant "sites."
