A popular children's toy known as Bindeez in Australia and Aquadots in the U.S. has been found to metabolize as the date rape drug GHB when it is swallowed.

Guess where it's made. Go ahead, just guess.

Why doesn't anything metabolize as ecstasy?

What's a carbon atom between friends?

We were discussing this at work yesterday, wondering why a ten year old would eat a whole mess of plastic beads. The two year old, we can understand...

I am starting to believe that I'm right and this is China's way of softening up the world for their inevitable takeover...

Florida?

...d'oh!

Hey now, I buy all of my carbon atoms (and metal atoms, etc.) through Aldrich like every other chemist. It's the biologicals like trees that are stealing the carbon atoms. Right out of the air!

Not that I had any trouble guessing, but the O.O icon is still required.

Yeah; for one thing, it would taste and smell /awful/. Bleah.

Also, oddly written article. The drug is GHB, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid -- it /is/ sometimes called GBH but I don't think that it ever stands for "grievous bodily harm"... But you know, I'm not all up in the club drug scene.

Yeah, and they'll damn well /keep/ stealing your carbons too -- AND fixing your nitrogens! What are you gonna do about it!? Hunh?

[cmseward.livejournal.com]

Congratulate them, and see if I can plant more?

(I never said it was a *bad* thing, I was just trying to explain it aren't my fault.)

"Grievous bodily harm" is indeed one of the street names for GHB.

I'm not even sure where I picked that little trivia piece up. Probably off the internet somewhere.

Dude, that makes date-rape so much simpler.
