Welcome!

Sam, Katie, and Sara-lab partners extraordinaire- had talked for a while about making a chemistry-themed blog with their awesome chemistry-related experiences. One day they were reminiscing about playing google docs tag (chasing each other with their cursors in the spreadsheet) and after that nerdy memory they decided it was about time to go for it.

Welcome to the epic adventure!
Share your chemistry knowledge. Share your life. :)

Janitors Hate Elevator Selection Rules

So Katie, Sam, and I really like posting amusing sticky notes in the Benson elevators. Shahn gave us this great idea so today we posted the elevator selection rules. (For an explanation of selection rules, see Wikipedia) The selection rule is that delta F cannot equal +/- 1 where F is the floor number. Of course, like all selection rules, just because it's forbidden doesn't mean it doesn't happen; it just means it doesn't happen very often.

Last time we posted something, it was removed within a half hour. (This will be the subject of a future post). The same thing happened this time! So, we put signs back up again saying do not remove. These were removed again! We're considering mounting an offensive....

Anyway, here are pictures of the signs for your amusement. Posing for the second picture was really impossible while we were trying to do it ourselves, so we finally got some random guy in the elevator to take it for us. His look was priceless.

  1. This is what staying at the Benson until 2 AM drives you to.
    Just saying.

  2. I would just like to state for the record that this one was my idea.

  3. ...I got blamed for this... As well as those sticky notes labeling the fourth floor "outer darkness." Was that you, too?
