*A-HEM!* Attention class! Today's topic will be "having fun with 
common laboratory chemicals" (donning a gas mask)

Allegra, Musica, and Virgo(dressed in school uniforms): Hai!

very good class...
 

...Now, take an old penny and drop it it... (purplish smoke begins to 
pour out of the beaker) ... This is a nerve gas that is produced as 
the zinc oxide on the penny reacts with the acid... this is extremely 
LETHAL to anyone NOT wearing gas masks ... everyone did wear theirs 
didn't they? :)

Allegra(she wears a hardsuit in the first place anyhow!!): Yes sir!  I 
    come equiped with one...

Excellent, Allegra... you would have also recieved full credit for
an independent oxygen supply or an inherent resistance to nerve
gas agents...

Musica and Virgo: GASP!!!  COUGH!!!!  WEEZ!!!!

The REST of you GET OUT! ... And don't come back until you've read 
the next chapter "Common Agricultural and Household Items - Explosive
Fun or Menace to Society" :)

... Class dismissed!
