Happy Birthday Z!

Love the engineering jokes, but as an engineer and a nerd (with all the burdensome pedantry that comes with) I have to point out that the mouseover text is wrong. The bucket is not reacting with air. If it were that unstable, she would be wearing gloves. The contents of the bucket are much more likely to react with air than the bucket itself.

Again, Happy Birthday and sorry if I come across as a da/dt

So how does one carry a bucket of cryogenic hydrogen?

...Aside from "very carefully"? (I saw that joke coming a mile away.)

To continue being nerdy, that NFPA symbol (which is I think correct for liquid hydrogen) is telling us that is IS flammable, but ISN'T reactive.
