Everyone say hello to the Angry Toxicologist. Do so calmly, with no sudden moves — he's angry.
(I like angry.)

Random Quote
(Complete listing)Quantum events have a way of just happening, without any cause, as when a radioactive atom decays at a random time. Even the quantum vacuum is not an inert void, but is boiling with quantum fluctuations. In our macroscopic world, we are used to energy conservation, but in the quantum realm this holds only on average. Energy fluctuations out of nothing create short-lived particle-antiparticle pairs, which is why the vacuum is not emptiness but a sea of transient particles. An uncaused beginning, even out of nothing, for spacetime is no great leap of the imagination.

Looks like the angry is catching on.
Welcome.

Why is he angry along with the angry astronomer?

There's a lot to be angry about in the world. Someone's gotta do it.

I *like* Angry.... without *angry* I'd have a lot less passion, and I *really* like passion!

I'm sure his angry attitude will drive people to drink bleach and drano. He should stop referring to these fine household chemicals with insulting terms like 'toxic' and 'dangerous', or someone will get hurt.

thanks for the introduction. I've just spent a bit of time roaming through his posts - really great stuff there.

I have a buddy who often gets angry when he's intoxicated... wait, what are we talking about again?

Short temper and access to / thourough knowledge of / toxines sounds like a rather perilous combination. Better not provoke him unnecessarily.

Just came back from a semi-thorough romp through the Angry Toxicologist's playground. Very nice. And scary. In fact, it is making me angry. Thanks for the link.

So we've got an Angry Toxicologist to go along with our Mad Biologist. Not to mention our resident Lovecraftian Horror From Beyond Time and Space. sB is getting scarier by the day!

Scotty B, your friend is what we might call an Angry Intoxicologist.
But I suspect that's what you were getting at, and I apologise if I ruined the joke with an explanation.

Do toxicologists become venomously angry or have a caustic disposition?
Posted by: mothra | July 18, 2007 6:30 PM
Thanks for the link. Thanks to everyone for the comments, hope you continue to enjoy reading.
Just for the record, when imbibing, I become my alter ego Mellow Intoxicologist which is great for hanging out on your back porch but not so good for blogging ("Eh, the world seems fine doesn't it?").
