Chemistry Weirdness

This is a link to a wonderful site where some German chemists have figured out how to use clown balloons to make large scale chemical structures. It is simply amazing but what is absolutely astounding is what appears to be the authentic endorsement of the site by Francis Crick (one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA)!

LINK TO BALLOON MOLECULES

The next link is just one of those crazy but true chemistry sites where some people decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the creation of Play-Doh by recreating that blast of volatile organic molecules that we all remember when we opened a fresh can of the stuff.

And then there are these people who have devoted their lives to making a periodic table coffee table with encased examples of the elements. So little time, so many elements.
