I think I have been neuralized, I saw the critically panned Men in Black II this afternoon and already I cannot remember anything about the movie beyond the aliens. It’s the ultimate lightweight flick. The short that played before it was funny. 10:43:42 PM

CNN has an article on lab accidents in high school chemistry and physics classes; it states that in the United States "at least 150 students have been seriously injured in school laboratory accidents in the last four years". This number may be increasing since new science education standards mean more lab time for some students. Safety also depends on the staff and students, while a broke bromide flask in a lab once resulted in a schoolwide evacuation, I never felt in danger in a lab. 10:38:07 PM
