In a moment of tiredness I just poured some Barossa Shiraz into my coffee while pouring my wife a glass of wine. I don’t drink so didn’t taste but it smelt GREAT!

Someone please do a taste test and let the community know as a service. Roughly 2:1 coffee to wine ratio. #chemchat #chemsky

Wiltype chromosomes

It's a cartoon crime scene. Two round bottom flask police officers are looking at teh scene inf front of them. An LPG blow torch, a steaming ramekin in front of them and a melted round bottom flask that looks dead next to the ramekin. One police flask is saying to the other ""...SO HE WAS HOLDING THE RAMEKIN WHILE SHE TORCHED THE CREME BRULEE. IT LOOKS LIKE AN ACCIDENT BUT WE'VE TAKEN THE WIFE IN FOR QUESTIONING ANYWAY."

Scenes from the Barbier of Allyl.

I'm not even sorry.

#chemchat #chemsky
An atom of zinc, which is a barber, has lathered up the carbon-bromine bond of a cyclic allyl bromide. It is holding a very sharp razer in one hand. The allyl bromide looks very worried. the zinc looks joyful. In the waiting area behind the Barber (zinc) is benzaldehyde reading a magazine. It is a scene from the Barbier of Allyl (play on barber of seville and the Barbier reaction).

Insert nonchalant whistling here

A molecule of glucose holding what appears to be a condom packet. It looks a bit smarmy and is saying "Well, I guess I won't be needing this then" in response to unprotected sugars getting down to some coupling.

Hey #Chemsky, to start off 2026 I have made the first ChemScrapery book available for a download through the ChemScrapes Shop. It's just a PDF - but all ChemScrapes.

Check it out.

I think I might be close to divorce, but it’s a risk I am willing to take.

Meanwhile, on the apparatus at the chemistry olympics. #chemsky #chemchat
A round bottom flask is holding itself upside down on two rings like on the rings in the gymnastics. All supported on a fume hood lab frame. Underneath it is a conical flask holding a dustpan and a broom. The round bottom flask looks annoyed and is saying “can’t we just use a mat?”
