Some time in the early '00s, a student named Tim sat a chemistry exam he didn't need to pass and uploaded the ensuing hilarity to the internet in the form of a series of scans which can now be found here
.
Tim's Chemistry Exam provides examples of:
- The '60s: When snakes were last trendy, apparently.
- Alien Invasion: "Damn aliens are responsible for everything weird thats going on around here." They're always trying to kidnap all the argon.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: On the "name the compounds" question, the answer for A was methyl bromide, an actual compound though not the actual answer to the question. B, C and D were the chemical equivalent of E = MC Hammer. E was... penguin.
- Buffy Speak: The word "stuff" is used a lot, as in "When stuff is heated, it can do stuff by itself without doing stuff to stuff around it."
- Captain Obvious:Q: "The reaction between chlorine and methane is called a substitution reaction." Explain what this statement means.
A: The statement means that there is a substitution reaction when there is a reaction between chlorine and methane. - God: Tim's answer to one of the questions is "Because God made it that way."
- Mathematician's Answer: "Q: Explain the shape of the graph. A: Its curvy, with a higher bit at the end and a rather aesthetically pleasing slope downwards..."
- Pun: "Q: What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride? A: James Bond."
- Shaped Like Itself: "The reaction between chlorine and methane is a substitution reaction" means that "there is a substitution reaction when there is a reaction between chlorine and methane".
- A Wizard Did It: "God made it that way."
- Word Salad Humour: "Jellybean, soup, doorhandle".
