82.132.236.103: Undo revision 383896 by ) Am confused why that is in trivia, also, but more confused whyever a correlation between number of eggs eaten and reduction in eggs going rotten. Supply/demand fluctuations cause delays+rot, regardless of volume.

 Some of [[Cueball]]'s questions suggest that chemists use eggs in place of other items. For example, the superstitious may react to a {{w|spilling salt|spilling of salt}} by picking it up and throwing it over their left shoulder, ostensibly as an attempt to blind the Devil.  Another relates to the upcoming night before Halloween event called "{{w|Mischief Night}}", where kids are known to {{w|Egging|throw eggs}} at houses. Cueball asks Ponytail how she will know if this has happened, as he thinks she keeps an unusually large number of eggs in her house.

 The title text makes a joke about how often chemists use the comparison, saying that they use a rotten egg smell as the baseline and that a lack of the smell is a distinct one. Given the health hazards of hydrogen sulfide and the regulations now enforced in recognition of those hazards, the chemistry teacher probably doesn't often experience the smell either. Since hydrogen sulfide deadens the sense of smell, taking this smell as a 'baseline' is improbable and potentially dangerous, and it's unfortunate that the title text makes this suggestion.
