Organic chemistry is like the Internet...

Organic Chemistry Explained, with Cats
As someone who is not unfamiliar with both fields (yes, students, I do know something besides history and economics, wonder of wonders!) I can attest that this is, indeed, an apt comparison.
Also apt is this comment:
"It also follows that, much like cats, molecules only expend energy to generate high-energy conformations just to reach other low-energy conformations. Also, molecules poop in a box."
I'll have to wrap up this post now, as my own molecule has arranged herself in a high-energy conformation that statistically indicates she is expecting me to provide further energy input, and is, correspondingly, vibrating at a high enough frequency to produce a somewhat irritating audio output.
