Greetings,

reading Dr. Jensen's comment on the "educational film explaining the interaction of molecules with light"  
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceoO18RTiZI)
made me go and watch it. I share Dr. Jensen's shock. It may be fun to watch, but it has hardly anything to do with pchem research.

This video reminded me of the blind man's query about milk:

Milk is white, he was told.

Ok, but what is white?

Oh, white is like a swan.

Yes, but what is a swan?

You know, the bird with an S-shaped neck.

Thanks, Now I know what milk is.
