The infamous POP QUIZ!!! Say no more! Just the thought of it triggers memories of panic! You sly fellow.... I'm reminded of my chemistry teacher, who was fond of giving us strange things to analyze in the lab. He felt qualitative analysis helped the students really put theory to practice, and he loved to teach the fun of discovery. I always prayed I'd have salt — one lucky soul always did! I finally did, and guess when — the final exam! What a gift!
P.S. For those of you who don't know or have forgotten, salt can be definitively identified simply by its cube structure. One look under a microscope and you're done! A+!

Okay now, Randy, I think this would be one great prank tell all post! I'd love to read what your clever mind cooked up for your students.

... I mean, let HIM see the next post....

When Hobbes stops burping, please let me see my next post....

Jon, I can just picture Hobbes in one of those foolish jester hats with bells! Hope he has a puuurrrrrrfect birthday!
