Identity Crisis In The Hundred Acre Wood Of Organic Chemistry

The chemistry joke no one asked for but everyone deserves! Winnie the Pooh is going through his chemical structure evolution here. First, he's cool with the standard benzene line structure. Then he gets fancy with the circle-in-hexagon representation that organic chemists love. But when someone calls benzene by its IUPAC name "1,3,5-cyclohexatriene," Pooh loses his mind because technically that's incorrect! Benzene isn't actually three alternating double bonds - it's a fully delocalized ring where electrons are shared across all carbons equally. Any chemist who's survived organic chemistry would have the same visceral reaction. It's like calling water "dihydrogen monoxide" at a dinner party and expecting people not to roll their eyes.
