... that's either the most philosophically relevant question ever asked, or I am reading way too much into your comment.

Personally, props should go to the author of the text... it's so bizzare that I want to read the whole thing just for the context.

Here's the description:

> Graduation week should be an exciting time for the Chemistry Department of Allston University, as they prepare to move from their shabby, haunted laboratories into a brand new building. Happily oblivious, they don't know that the President of the University, a candidate for an empty Senate seat and hungry for good publicity, is scheming to trade away their building to poach a Professor of Physics on the Nobel short list. The week might turn out to be more exciting than anyone had reckoned, what with the two different infernal devices stashed in the basement and the assassination scheduled for the dedication ceremony.

The novel is available for on Amazon.ca

I aim to deliver ;)

Man, I had so many that I put them into a novel (https://www.amazon.com/Novel-Efficient-Synthesis-Cadaverine/dp/1448627176) and still had many many left over.

As long as we are talking about water: we used tap water running through condensers to cool reactions, as was the custom. (I went into industry and have since been using recirculating chillers for decades.) One night a hose pops off and the water pools and goes down one floor into the chemistry library stacks. Now the chemistry library was a tiny thing just for Chem Abstracts and journals and strictly locked up at all times not official hours. Of course every graduate student had obtained a copy of a copy of a copy of a stolen key to the door so we had 24/7 access to the literature. (This was preInternet, so the hard copy Chem Abstracts were golden information.) Someone noticed that there was a flood over the abstracts and other bound journals. At 3 am or so several of us went into the library and bucket chained several hundred bound and irreplaceable journals out of peril.

Later that day, the chemistry admins went ballistic. There were illegal copies of keys! No mention of the heroic rescue. Many grad students were grilled, but none had been there and nobody knew nothing. The lock was changed and it took a month or so for the new key to be disseminated.
