This is a quite funny view at chemicals most chemists don't want to work with. All procedures and compounds are described from a suitably terrified distance:

Excerpt:
I would heartily recommend reading at least this entry:You may not have felt the need for a better synthesis of metal azides. Personally, my metal azide requirements are minimal, and very easily satisfied. I can get all I need by looking at a structure drawn on a whiteboard from about twenty feet away, thanks, and have no desire to actually prepare any of these things. I do not see this as an irrational reluctance. For example, last year I wrote about mercury azides, a most alarming class of compounds whose synthesis would be much easier if the two solvent layers didn't keep getting disturbed by explosions. I've also covered selenium tetraazide, a cheerful lemon-yellow solid with the annoying habit of blowing up when it gets warmer than about -64C, which would explain why you don't run into it very often.
Sand won't save you this time
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
THIS SAND MIGHT

That's just non-blue majic sand.
Oh man, thank you for the memories. Definitely buying this for the kids.
Wait... it's gluten free. And they are using cookie shapes. Do they want kids to eat it?
And eating sand
Really though, advertising for gluten free SAND?? That's like asbestos free soft drinks isn't it?

This is really pretty excellent.
Also, the rest of you and your lack of entertaining things makes me sad.

Good article. But I'm not "entertained" by the articles you've posted, Lolli. I know you're trying to start a discussion, and tried to use humor as the spark.
Allow me to take a stab at yor OP, and suggest that there are too many things going on. For example, surfing TV channels has me thinking who are these people? . But if I'm getting a pedicure or manicure, and want to relax, it makes sense if they censor content.
If you want to talk about things that "entertain" us, that's a megathread, indeed.

Mods can we please rename the thread to "I saw something that didn't entertain GGT"?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I was not trying to start a discussion, I just wanted to share something I read that I found interesting (and thus entertained me). It wasn't something that really fit into an existing megathread, nor was it something that particularly seemed worth a thread of its own.
Like this.

Equally complex:
