My eel's eyesight is really really poor, and although it gets tempting to hand feed sometimes I always drop the shrimp when he gets close to my hand... I've seen what kinda damage he can do...

Did Mendeleev take time away from his periodic tables to steal Pavlov's credit?

Yeah, those chem courses can be pretty brutal... In fact, organic chemistry 1 & 2 were the courses that made me switch majors from zoology to business. I figured the entire courses are based around the carbon atom, how hard can it be?
