Jaw Breaker: Chemistry Blows Jaw Off After Chewing Explosive Material

Professor, I was excited to see your picture of the Atomic Fire Ball candy! It brought back memories of running down the hall in grade school to get a drink after eating too many of the “Fireballs” at one time!

    Peyton Farquhar has some interesting law related postings on his blawg; I visited thinking you, Buddha, were living a double life and forgot to change your avatar. I wondered why you decided to mess with your avatar when I saw it (his) in the ‘recent comments’ column.
