Ha! At 7th I see "Swift Boat Politics" on the buzz.Yahoo.com site now. On the yahoo.com site it is still "hydrochloric acid".
Maybe students are driving the numbers on the Yahoo.com site?

I'm guessing that the first semester is in session , they should not have gotten to acid and bases yet, was there a major lab incident somewhere?

Probably because people are researching on what "free basing" of illicit drugs means.
