Ever cornered someone at a party with your fascinating chemistry trivia? That's the vibe! In 1669, alchemist Hennig Brand boiled down massive amounts of urine looking for the philosopher's stone but instead discovered phosphorus—literally "light-bearer" in Greek. The poor man evaporated 1,500 gallons of pee thinking he'd make gold, and instead got a glowing element that spontaneously combusts in air! Next time your eyes glaze over when I'm mid-chemistry rant, remember: at least I'm not making you collect buckets of urine for my basement experiments... yet. *maniacal scientist laugh*
