I think the Count left us a code,
I noticed that Count Krazy's latest thirteen posts where all done in caps, and somewhat felt out of place.

He posted in this order.
1. SCIENCE
2. QUASARS
3. PHOTONS
4. HIGGS BOSONS
5. EVENT HORIZONS
6. 5,865,696,000,000 MILES IS LIGHT YEARS
7. BETELGEUSE
8. SPACETIME
9. QUANTUM MECHANICS
10. VREDEFORT CRATER
11. NEUTRON STARS
12. SEDNA
13. DOCTOR WHO

On second thought, he could just be doing this for fun. :P
Be part of the answer, not part of the problem.

The other day, my sister saw this thing on Pinterest where people were apparently using vinegar and baking soda to inflate balloons. And I was like "Bullhonkey. That doesn't work." And she was like "YeS IT DOES".

So I went and got a bottle, placed baking soda inside of it, then filled a balloon with vinegar. Then I went and found my sister, still surfing Pinterest.

And I was like... "STAND BACK. I'm going to try science!"

It didn't work.

Which I think is a fancy allegory for real science.

Apparently I missed the part where Pinterest became a legitimate place of science

Science happens everywhere....in your home, in a classroom, while you're mowing your lawn, when you're walking down the street, everybody that you meet.

It's a simple message and it comes from the heart.

CH3CO2H + NaHCO3 ---> CH3CO2Na + H2CO3


H2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2


There's the chemical formula for the reaction going on between vinegar (which is acetic acid) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). It's a simple acid-base reaction, one you learn pretty early in chem.


Acetic acid grabs the sodium, bicarbonate grabs the hydrogen, and bicarbonate becomes carbonic acid.

That breaks apart into carbon dioxide and water. Which is the visible (and pretty cool looking) reaction. You can inflate the balloon by having the reaction take place in a bottle or some such container that you can attach the balloon too. Using Alka-seltzer also works, since sodium bicarbonate is a major ingredient in it.

Also, you can put it into a film canister, close it, turn it upside down, and watch it pop off like a rocket. I remember doing that, back in my elementary school days. :3

While we're on the topic of acetic acid... the ways some people display acetic acid annoy me. I saw this: HCH3COO in my textbook the other day. WHO DOES THIS.

Anyways. :P
