At a departmental party, two physicists get to ride in a hot air balloon. After staying afloat for about an hour, they realize that they have no idea where they are. Finally they spot a solitary hiker and call down to him "Hey! Can you tell us where we are?"
The hiker waits until they are almost out of hearing range before yelling "You're in a balloon!"
The first physicist says to the second: "Damn! Just our luck to run into a mathematician!"
The second physicist says "how can you tell?"
The first replies: "Isn't it obvious? First, his answer was completely correct. Second, it took him a long time to give it. And last, it was utterly useless."

How did he manage to get that job while being as dumb as the Congress of a state (can't remember which state) that banned that same chemical for being known to kill.grimsprice said:
OOOH OOOOH I feel for the same think during a class I had at school.
Anyway...umm lets see. How do you kill someone? Build gun. How do you kill more people? Build more gun.
(Is that the line from meet the engineer?)

Why do they call Helium, Curium and Barium the "Medical Elements"?
This mathematician came rolling home at 3am, after a night celebrating with colleagues. His wife, in curlers and her bathrobe sized him up and asked him why hadn't got home at 11:45pm, like he'd promised.
"My dear, I promised I'd be home at a quarter of twelve" he replied.
Because if you can't Helium or Curium, you'll have to Barium!
It's actually the joke that one of the champions from League of Legends has. *groooooooan*

This is generally the case for simple ionic structures as the nature of the anion(s) implies the equal and opposite charge on the cation(s) and thus there is no need for the prefix. The prefixes return when you start dealing with various ligands and complexes, but I doubt anyone really wants me to go into that. Suffice it to say there is a place for prefixes regardless of bond type (the furthur you go in chemistry, the more you learn covalent and ionic bonds are differents ends of the same scale; the vast majority of bonding has elements of each)orannis62 said:
I think this is obligatory.
I actually got my calculus teacher to post that in her door. All because she saw it on my binder.

You know what's even worse?
Hydroxylic acid, it is the majority component of all the most damaging types of acid rain.
Hydroxylic acid is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents it is commonly found (in high concentrations) in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions. Gaseous Hydroxylic acid can cause severe burns, extremely small amounts have been known killed humans due to accidental inhilation.In fact, it is actually given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
Hydroxylic acid is not classified as a toxic or carcinogenic substance, thus companies are free to dump it into our lakes, rivers and oceans.
What is it used for?
Tell your local representative to ban the dumping of hydroxylic acid.
Edit: investigations have found that in every single school shooting and terrorist attack the perpetrator had high levels of hydroxylic acid in their blood.

as an industrial solvent and coolant,
in nuclear power plants,
by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
by elite athletes to improve performance,
in the production of Styrofoam,
in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
in cult rituals,
by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members deny such use),
by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
by members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
by the clientele at a number of bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
during many recent religious and ethnic wars in the Middle East,
by many terrorist organizations including al Quaeda,
in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
in day care centers, purportedly for sanitary purposes,
by software engineers, including those producing DICOM programmer APIs and other DICOM software tools,
by popular computer science professors,
by the semi-divine King Bhumibol of Thailand and his many devoted young working girls in Bangkok,
by the British Chiropractic Association and the purveyors of the bogus treatments that the BCA promotes,
by commodities giant Trafigura in their well-publicized and widely-known toxic-waste dumping activities in Ivory Coast,
in animal research laboratories, and
in pesticide production and distribution.
