That moment in toxicology lab when your synthetic compound outperforms nature's deadliest venoms. The snake brought fangs to a chemical warfare fight. Rookie mistake.
Fun fact: The LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of test subjects) of some lab-made compounds like botulinum toxin is so low that a few nanograms could kill an adult human. Nature had a 3.5 billion year head start, yet here we are, synthesizing death in beakers between coffee breaks.
