lolnano contest!

Following one of our last posts, one of the commenters (thanks, Russ!) had an idea. We're stealing it! CBC is hosting a lolnano-themed Chemdraw (or ISIS, or whatever you use) contest.

Rules:
1. All entries must be the original work of the person who submits them. (On the honor system, of course.)
2. Structures must be reasonable. (If we see five bonds to carbon, we'll send the ninjas after you.) Vetoed by Excimer. The following would be acceptable:

3. Must have a caption (lolcats-style).
4. Send entries (gif, jpg, png, bmp, tif attachment, or a link) to jes dot carbon at gmail dot com with only LOLNANO in the subject line. Include your real name or an alias of some sort so we can identify you.
5. No more entries after September 21st. We'll argue over the entries and pick a few winners. These will get posted. (We might also post the others, but there's no guarantee.)

Here's an example (from the Holland group at Rochester) to get you started. Have fun!

You never heard of hypervalent pentavalent carbon missy? Paul Schleyer is going to send his ninjas after you.

You know, I just realized why people spell out their email addresses...so they don't get spammed by some copy-paste scheme.

I wonder if my material on ChemDraw was helpful? Sorry for asking in here 'cause I wanted to start a poll but LJ won't let non-users vote.

Damn it, copypaste. Delete my previous comment plz.
