Ummm.... no, it's not. At a pH of 12, it's a fairly caustic _base_.

No, it was after he started posting to sci.engr.chem and pissed them off as much as he did us.

Damn, and all the time I thought they were marketing hypochlorous acid, not the sodium hypochlorite.
Thanks for the heads up. Mine was.

One other one I forgot about - don't drip paint thinner into your pants pocket. I did once, somehow (don't ask how) and awhile later felt a strong burning sensation on my leg. When I pulled my pants down there was a red welt in the unmistakable shape of the United States Capitol building, from some change that had been in there.

What US coin has the Capitol on it?

Did that with avgas many moons ago. Got stuck driving the fueling truck at Kaneohe Bay back in '59, for a few weeks. Used to use the drip off the nozzle to fill my lighter. It was one of those clear plastic bottom lighters, this one with a Marine Corps emblem floating in the fluid. I didn't get the screw tight, got busy fueling copters and realized an hour later that my leg was on fire. Or so it felt.

Anyone that has used a Zippo lighter for any length of time knows how that is.

It was the flipside of a nickel, Monticello, that's it.
