    Two scientists walk into a bar. The first one says "I'll have some H2O." The second says "That sounds good. I'll have some H2O too." The second scientist died.

    Hue, you have a nice head of hair, but it looks like a women's cut, and are you using hair products? Metrosexuals are just closet gays.

    holy crap!!! it's 17 here right now and im wearing a jumper and the heater is on in the middle of winter.

    Haha i think anything about 8c is good for us Brit's, anything about 20c/25c is just to much, it gets very humid very quickly and so becomes uncomfortable. Its about 13c here as i write this and its perfect for an out door drink.

    Yeast have catalase. 2 H2O2 —(catalase)—–> 2 H2O + o2

    you have the beard of a man and the hair of a woman my friend

    hi, i am wondering, do you live in England? if so define hot. i am interested because i know someone who lives in England and i asked how the weather was and he said it was quite warm and i asked what the temp was and he said about 10c where i live the only time it gets below 10 is at 3 am in the morning in the middle of winter!!!! and in summer it can get up to 40

    I'm not an chemist, just a lowly engineer. But what is the yeast doing? Is it a catalyst or is it a reactant? You are not explaining clearly what the active yeast is contributing.

    You remind me so much of Sam Rockwell.

    You're Jesus, you don't need any chemicals, or any of that laughable chemistry knowledge.

    A reaction without heat exchange is called adiabatic…

    I wonder the same!

    Next time try it with 30% Hydrogen Peroxide instead of 3%, Makes much much more toothpaste a lot quicker!

    Vinegar and baking soda
