Eek ~~ science class! That was my attitude as I tentatively touched the key for magnesium. Not only did I learn stuff, but my previous indifference towards magnesium has been replaced with a certain amount of affection.

Thanks, Lola. It's nice to see someone who not only doesn't resist learning, but also doesn't sit in the back of the class throwing spitballs.

Very interesting but then I like geeky stuff & documentaries & so on. The sodium one was fun.

If Harry Potter had done that at Hogwarts, he might have graduated instead of having to run away into the forest.  |
