Im the bad boy of chemistry, not a hippy, I would be wearing a black leather lab coat and smoking with shades on if it wasnt breaking almost every rule in the lab. I also walk into people yelling "you aint the boss of me, man!"

back in my day, 1600 was the max score. I guess you kids really are lots smarter than we were.
