Some pictures and a old story from Wang Wei: The following is the short story I promised a while ago. I
must have very lousy luck back the days 20 years ago, no matter how carefully
I cooked, my organic experiment always end up with a very sticky goo.
Surely enough, I got the SOS (same old shit) this time as well. In despair,
I tried to boil it off with a heavy soup (a tiny bit of water and a big
chunk of NaOH, works every time for a desperate chemist). XXY, my cross-bench
partner, must be very much impressed by my stinky new soup, tossed
me a handy trick----heating the flask red hot then quickly soak into a
cold water bath. Overjoyed with the timely advice and simplicity of the cure,
I wasted no time to try it out, surely enough, there goes the goo, but took
the good part of the flask with it too. The new trick cost me two pork steaks
or equivalent to five homemade lion heads (meat balls) in KeDa Caf�. Now
I get plenty of chances to play the trick without costing me a lunch, I� d
rather save it for the day when I feel like to smash something, it�s getting
more expensive dollar-wise. XXY-----Xie
Xiao Yun.
