  • What a gas

    Two hydrogen atoms were talking, and one said “I just lost an electron!”. The second replied “Are you positive?” 🙂

  • MAPS

    On Saturday Jodie (my lovely better half) and I attended the annual awards dinner for the Mcmaster Association of Parttime Students (MAPS)… Jodie won a scholarship for having one of the top 5 running averages of the 2400 or so students.
