For those keeping score at home, a metric ton = 2204.62 lbs, or roughly 10% more than an Imperial ton.

I posted that over on fb yesterday - I think the headline is stupid, as Kid would say, but the story is great! I suspect my Current Event students will get a kick out of it next week.

Fungi are an amazingly successful kingdom.   (I started to say phylum but caught myself just in time!)   Some are so tasty and some so aren't.

This is an xkcd cartoon about chemistry,  sulfides specifically.....

   In September, NASA announced that it was sending a new toilet to the station. “Boldly Go!” read the headline on the news release. The cost of the newly designed toilet was $23 million, and it’s smaller and lighter and better suited for women, while able to recycle more urine into drinking water. (Actual astronaut joke: “Today’s coffee is tomorrow’s coffee!”)....
