he begins, sounding like les dawson, has a back massager shaped like that. she thinks it's the funniest thing ever, even funnier than a birthday card that makes a poor-quality fart noise when you open it

# cool
rasmol is really for larger, more complex molecular structures, and doesn't look quite as much fun

# I made a wee molecule thing a while back
in flash

I did one in director 3d too, that can open up CML files from programs like chemsketch.

but I did the flash one at home, and the director one on work time - so I can't post it - even though it's never been used for anything.
