And he can build the heck out of a circuit. I bet you he had a chemistry set, too.

But this is pretty fun when we're going to talk about the history of chemistry sets, which, believe it or not, go back to the 18th century when they were called chemical chests. But this was pre let's make this a toy for kids. It was like, hey, if you're a university student or a professional or amateur young chemist, budding chemist. Do you like to wear capes? Yeah, exactly. You like a smock?

Get a chemistry set.

Get a chemistry set.

I think it was perfect.

And, again, this thing wasn't a toy. It had 35 chemicals, had a very robust, like, balance, you know, like a balance for weighing things. It had a mortar and pestle, of course. It had a book, and this is kind of, as you'll see, a key with all chemistry sets is they come with a book of experiments. Otherwise, you're just going to be dangerous.

You might be anyway, but this one had about 150 experiments. And interestingly, it had this platinum foil included that they would not include now because this stuff was very valuable. I believe in today dollars it would be worth about $1,000. Wow.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

No, of course not.
