Chemical Consumption
Since all things edible and potable are chemical in nature, Beaker figures that consuming things from a chemical lab can't be all that bad - after all they are (or at least should be) pretty pure.
Given the anorexic nature of Beaker (it is rumoured that, with a lot of local anaesthetic, his head can fit into a test tube!)it was reasoned that drinking D2O instead of H2O would allow for some gain of mass. Well, Beaker has done that before, so he reasoned that adding some flavour, in the form of alpha-cyclodextrin was more appropriate. He reported the taste to be initally quite sweet, then it tasted like potatoes.
Interestingly, this cyclic molecular host (alpha-CD) may find use in chewing gums owing to it's slow release of (organic) flavour molecules. Beaker believes this to be a nice example of supramolecular chemistry in everyday life.
It seems that D2O is quite innocuous until half of your body's water is deuterated. Once you get to this stage, according to http://yarchive.net/med/heavy_water.html, cell division becomes inhibited and you die.
So now Beaker is looking for new candidate molecules to consume...suggestions welcome!

so wait wait wait, which one of you is bunsen and which one is beaker? as i know one of you. you know who you are. also, hi.
PS: beaker needs to lay off the crack.
Thnaks for the info! I'll remember that next time I fall into a nuclear reactor core :-)
I actually hadn't read the MSDS before consuming the stuff...it was 99 % pure tho (according to Aldrich)..so yeah, can't be that bad
Beaker
I'd like to see beaker sit in an MRI machine after drinking a glass of D2O just to see where it goes in his body, assuming it picks up differently then usual water.
As the next tribulation in your ceaseless quest to eat dangerous/pointless shit in the lab may I suggest a shot of methyl iodide? You could always follow this up with a dioxin chaser?
My sources tell me it tastes like arse cancer.
It was rather interesting for me to read this article. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.

Hello.
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities. Banks primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors. Government restrictions on financial activities by banks vary over time and location. Banks are important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States bank are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients.
The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a communist system.[url=http://projectcontrol.v3host.nl]CLICK HERE[/url]
