The
group, caught in the act... 
...let's
look at some pictures... 
...ok, everybody, stand very very still (December 2003)...
...now,
let's get to work!... 
...hey,
do you know what a Chichibabin is?... 
...is
this a Chichibabin?... 
...a
Chichibabin? what the heck is
a Chichibabin?... 
...what
the heck is a Heck?... 
...hey,
Pradeep, is this a Heck?... 
...maybe
it will come up at group meeting, let's go... 
...but
be sure to proceed with caution... 
...hey
dudes, watch your step... 
...ok,
let's start with a joke from dustin... 
...a
carbon, a nitrogen and an oxygen walk into a bar... 
...ha
ha ha, very funny... 
...I
can't believe he told a chemistry joke... 
...I
can't believe he thinks he's so funny... 
...tell
me about it... 
...ok,
let's get back to serious chemistry... 
...did
you say "serious"?... 
...yes,
SERIOUS! we're here to LEARN!... 
...alright,
let's push some arrows... 
...how
about these?... 
...oh
my, did he draw those arrows?... 
...we
can help...wonder twin powers...ACTIVATE!... 
...shape of...a bull!...
...maybe
a drink will help...but which one?... 
...I
know! I bet a dose of this will help... 
...wait,
I better make sure that's pure... 
...hmm,
looks like it needs some cleaning up... 
...let's have the tiny chemist filter it... 
...looks
better, but i still see multiple layers... 
...tastes
ok to me, man... 
...yum...now
I see it...let's try these arrows... 
...hold
on, let's clean those up a little... 
...let
me take care of that for you... 
...that
was mesmerizing... 
...you're
getting very sleepy... 
...here, eat one of these magic beans...
...much...better...than...Cats...
...no,
wait, these arrows are even better... 
...nice
arrows!... 
...awww,
I wanted to go to the board... 
...hmm,
now that I'm here I'm having second thoughts... 
...hmmm,
are those orbitals correct?... 
...well,
I don't see any orbitals in here... 
...what if you draw them like this? what? really?...
...maybe
we should use a computer?... 
...you
must become one with the molecules... 
...wait,
let's check the group handbook... 
...no,
no, let's call Dean at home; I bet he knows... 
...wait,
I think I sense his presence...
...I think he's getting closer... 
...well,
you see, the antibonding orbital actually looks like this...
...and
it's backside is BIG...
...really BIG... 
...it's
downright GIGANTIC... 
...so
the nucleophile attacks it from the top, right?... 
...no,
no, from behind!... 
...I
think I need some time away from chemistry... 
...hmm, maybe we should blow off some steam by defeating the Liu group at volleyball...
...the winners get Kurth Burgers...
...but first it is the time on Sprockets when we dance...
...ok, ok, on to the game...
...I think we won...
...but at what cost?
...ok, let's just go eat...
...hmmm, what should we order? definitely something deep dish...
...or a GIANT potato...

still don't know what a Chichibabin is...
