just totally perplexed... as a chemist...

Found this in dundee. It's a clever clever joke, right?? No one (except us) really thinks that potassium ethoxide actually rules?

Can someone please translate the humor to the less chemically endowed?

 

[mumbles]

Haha good to see its getting some love. What a random thing to paint on a wall.

I love meaningful meaningless graffiti. It really exists ==> Potassium Ethoxide

 

[EquaL Observer]

Funny to think how we look at cave paintings from thousands of years ago and try to find meaning in them. If Aliens came from space to the ruins of our planet and find this as one of the few remaining pieces of graffiti, I wonder what they would hypothesis..

Yeah, I can't make much out of it. I know it's something to do with those "rules, OK" saying, and I think it's something to do with the "OK" actually being in the name of the compound C2H5OK. I'm not sure if Potassium Ethoxide is spelled wrong on purpose though.

It's just gibberish, it's like saying Mickey mouse rules and spray painting his head.
