Science moves in mysterious ways

[foxfirefey]

I just remembered why I love science.

Sodium is a metal that will explode in water. If you ate a chunk of it, you probably would die.
Chlorine is a gas that can and will kill you because it thinks you looked at it funny.

Together they fight crime! As table salt. Fucking table salt.

It's like, I dunno, it's like if Maleficent and Scar had a baby and that baby was not a horrific rampaging monster with eye lasers and fire claws but was instead Blessed Mary MacKillop! Who could have had eye lasers and fire claws, I guess, but just never used them. Or -- or they are eye lasers of healing lasers and fire claws of holy spiritual fire? That would be okay? This analogy was never destined to work.
