I don't know why anyone would post this to their LiveJournal. Must be a drug chemical or something. Anyway, YAY CHEMISTRY. YAY AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS!

Maybe someone would do it who's married to someone who would post a long, well-reasoned essay In Defense of Math.

Sorry, but it's come to my attention that the compound shown above is indeed, NOT an aromatic compound. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahhh, caffeine. I knew it had to be something good.

And I was actually referring to the fact that it doesn't have a pi bond when I said it was not aromatic. For those of you that don't remember your organic chemistry, a pi bond is a complex of double bonds in which the electrons can move freely among all atoms in the ring. Benzene is the classic example of a pi bond compound. And of a carcinogen.

And for those of us who didn't even take organic chemistry we appreciate the lesson.
