I can tell you're not a teacher! One of the first skills you learn is how to read to children while they're looking at the pictures! I still haven't mastered writing neatly on the board, but I'm great at reading upside down!

It's only 11:20 pm here in Michigan, USA. What time is it there?

You're Eastern time? I'm the next state over, but Central time.

Hey....I'm mountain time, the next time zone over from reader!

Yea. It's only 9:30 here!

Yeah, I don't know why the text is always upside-down in these forums! I can read it easily either way, though.

I'm not sure how old carbon is, but here is a great recipe from Engineering class:

Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:

532.35 cm3 gluten
4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
4.9 cm3 refined halite
236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the raction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction. Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston’s first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

Carbon is old enough to date, unlike it's younger sister which isn't.

Arrrrgh, another one who would defile choco-chip cookies with nuts!

Phooey!

I stopped dating carbon after I met her sister, she was pure gold!

Frontwards, backwards, upside down, Japanese... Ya know, you'd be a nice friend to have if you weren't so mean.
