Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince - Girls Ain’t Nothin But Trouble

The Spring 2004 issue of Cabinet Magazine contained a timeline of timelines, the perfect companion to Wikipedia’s list of lists (my favorite being list of fictional things).

Das Rad is a German animated short chronicling the history of mankind…from the perspective of a couple of rocks.

Molecule of the Day presents: L-Methamphetamine.

L-methamphetamine…is found in Vicks Vapor Inhalers. … This is the mirror image of D-methamphetamine - the street drug.

The thing is, L-methamphetamine isn’t really anything like the D-methamphetamine isomer that is found in street drugs. D-methamphetamine is psychoactive, while L-methamphetamine isn’t very psychoactive at all. In certain receptor and enzyme pockets where D-methamphetamine fits, L-methamphetamine fits like a left foot in a right shoe.
