People are staring. Would they believe me if I told them I was studying OChem?

sorry I meant tail different color

You are actually making me enjoy ochem thanks to these cats! This should be incorporated into ALL ochem courses so us undergrads don’t hate our lives so much.

The most common analogy is with hands, which are also non-superimposable mirror images.
Re: facial symmetry I’ve heard that said too, but my wife has an adorable dimple on her right cheek only, so I’ve had to modify that somewhat.
Love your site! You’ve been blogrolled!

BTW, I’ve heard it said that the perception of facial beauty lies in symmetry.
