The eternal battle between experimental and computational chemists just got nuclear! Remember when chemistry was about mixing stuff and seeing if it exploded in your face? Good times. Now we've got folks spending years with fancy acronyms like CCSD(T) making "theoretically stable" molecules that have never seen the inside of an actual lab. The computational crowd is basically saying "I'd like to avoid getting my hands dirty with actual chemicals, please give me a computer and some equations instead." Meanwhile, experimental chemists are looking at these beautiful orbital diagrams and energy plots thinking, "Cool graph. Does it blow up though?" It's like bringing a supercomputer to a lab explosion fight. Sure, your calculations say it's stable, but our method of "messing around and praying it works" has been field-tested for centuries!

Speeding in this neighborhood will cost you more than a ticket—it'll rewrite the laws of physics! The speed limit is 0.99 moles (Avogadro's constant is 6.02×10²³), but this daredevil's speedometer shows they're going at the exact value of Avogadro's number. That's not just exceeding the local speed limit; that's exceeding the speed of light by about 10²² times. The traffic court judge is going to be so confused when Einstein shows up as an expert witness for the prosecution. "Your Honor, this cyclist has created enough energy to destroy the universe several times over."
