Science Education In Russia

A second year biology student did his level best to level his dormitory at Moscow University. Well, ok, he actually just damaged himself, the building is fine. But he's in a hospital after a little home science experiment went badly wrong.

The second-year biology student decided to experiment with different chemicals on Saturday night in a kitchen. He mixed them in a saucepan, heated the potion up on the stove and suddenly there was a loud blast.

"He wanted to see what would happen. What happened was an explosion," a police spokesman said. It was not clear which chemicals he had mixed.

The folks at Starbucks will be relieved to know the secret of the Frappuccino is safe. This time.
