Woke up thinking about Onibaba (1964).
What a film.
Two women survive in warring feudal Japan by tricking and murdering samurai, and stealing their belongings.
But when someone gets between the two women, the eldest tells of an evil curse that may be on them both...
Machete's way up for this one.🔪🔪

Today's lesson: intermolecular forces. For the occasion, I have worn a bow tie showing water and its hydrogen bonds. I have two different ties that show this, in two very different styles, so stay tuned for tomorrow when I teach the same lesson to my other sections.
