mike has been a member of ACS (amazing chemists society... or something like that) for two years. as far as i can tell, this pretty much means that he gets the science weekly magazine.

then, we discovered that every year, we get a present. this was last year:

2 - do i really have to wait 78 years to get a mercury mug?
