Chemistry-related item on Google

I thought it was very cool (and unusual) that the mighty Google spotlights Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday this morning with their "Google doodle".

I have an antique (semi-antique from the 50's) Bunsen burner, it's in very nice condition but I don't use it very often, opting for the stirplate to heat my stuff.

I giggled to myself when I pulled up google when I got to work. My mind was on chemistry and when all the glassware popped up I couldn't help but laugh. I showed the secretary the cause of my excitement and she looked at me like I was crazy:o. I'm so misunderstood...:(

We the excentric geniuses are indeed so misunderstood. LOL

I like how the mouse position controls the bunsen burner's flame color and size. Whats with the coffee pot?

I've always wanted to brew espresso over my Meeker burner... but I still don't have a propane regulator.
