This is about those crazy high school chemistry videos, "World of Chemistry." The host was an old, mellow gentleman Roald Hoffmann. In sharp contrast was his sidekick, the crazy Donald Showalter, who performed the demonstrations. The experiment in question was how litmus paper changed colors when it reacted with a basic or acidic solution. "The litmus paper turns red. Here, let me help you remember that. Blue to red.. ac-ed." Of course, he did the experiment with a base as well, with disappointing results. "Red to blue... base," he says slightly dejectedly, as if he laments there is no easy rhyme.
