I often see responses on here indicating that there is something highly dangerous or corrosive about photo chemicals which means that they shouldn't be handled in the house.

Besides being a hobbyist photographer who has his own darkroom, I'm also currently working toward a bachelor of science degree in Chemistry, and planning to pursue a career as a chemist.

As such, I'm done a fair amount of research on the chemical processes that are going on, as well as just what exactly is in the chemicals.

There are a few highly toxic developing agents, such as Pyro formulas, which few use anyway.

Normal developers, such as D76, are actually quite safe to handle. In fact, hydroquinone, one of the developing agents in D76, is used in some medicines. D76 also contains borax, available as a cleaner, and sodium sulfite, used as a preservative. The only other thing is metol, which is non toxic, although it does cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Where do people get all of these ideas

K, according to that headline there^ My great-great grandfather is black, though I'm white. Would this make me even technially black? Because if it did I think that would be cool. I've always had a great respect for african americans, due to the fact that they suffered so much, now that I found out that one of my ancesters was black, I feel, in a way, connected.

I for one would say it is as the written word enabled us to pass knowledge on in a way that transends race, culture and more importantly time. The written word makes knowledge immortal, and a good idea is a terrible thing to waste.

I am an atheist however I do not feel compelled to spread the truth as I know it to those who do not wish to know it. Should I be spreading the truth to religious people or should I just let them believe in falsehoods?

eg. the oracle of Delphi from Oedipus Rex

the only fortune tellers i know of are the gypsy-like ones with scarves and mystic balls... i have to draw a greek oracle for a project but have no idea what he/she would look like. i'm guessing they wouldn't have a mystic ball....

i've tried googling pics but to no avail. do you have any possible links/descriptions?

thanks a lot!

I've seen movies and tv shows about the 1940's and 1950's where the doctor is examining the patient and lights up a cigarette, for humorous and satirical effect. Did this really happen back then, or just make-believe?
