@PNS That's why Asia undercuts the West with commodity chemical pricing. No safety culture (or spend.)

Holy shit. That's nightmare fuel. I work with sulfuric acid and chemicals that are even worse.

Johnny was a chemist's son
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4

I remember reading the H2SO4 poem in a book that must have been published in the '30s or '40s.

But it was "Little Willie" in that rendition, and was one of a bunch of other Little Willie poems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Willie_rhymes

One of my favorites that I can remember:
Little willie from the mirror sucked the mercury all off
Thinking in his childish error it would cure the whooping cough
At the funeral willie's mother said to Mrs. Brown
It was a chillie day for willie when the mercury went down
