Not Your Average Chemistry Lab Setup
The chemistry joke here is absolutely brilliant! Caesium fluoride (CsF) is highly reactive and extremely hygroscopic (absorbs moisture aggressively). In labs, we keep it in tiny sealed containers because even a "concerningly large sample" would be dangerous. Meanwhile, the humble watch glass is just a small concave dish used for evaporation or holding small amounts of substances—definitely NOT suitable for dangerous compounds! The contrast between these chemistry lab items and the intimidating figures in the image creates perfect scientific absurdity. It's like bringing a water pistol to a nuclear reactor and calling it "adequate safety equipment."
