While in my tutorial I noticed that one of my class mates had a pen with a logo I hadn't seen before and the word 'Munters' written across it. This made me giggle to myself a little which brought me a few strange looks, given that my Inorganic tutor was currently trying his best to explain the intricacies of molecular orbital theory to us.
If you don't know why I find this funny then maybe you should go find out about the wonderful act of "munting".
I did a little research into it and found at that the pen in question is an advertisement for 'Munters’ Moisture Control Services', a company who supply equipment to help laboratories create certain controlled conditions, which I guess explains why a chemistry undergrad had one of their pens. Throughout their website the word "Munters" is juxtaposed next to other, rather innocuous, which leads to many hilarious (well, for me anyway) combinations e.g. "Munters offers energy-efficient products and solutions that help customers to optimize their indoor climate and thus raise productivity, quality and comfort."
I guess I just wanted to warn the good people of Munters' that they should probably change their name, in order to avoid undue embarassment, so if anyone high up in the company is reading this, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. You don't want all the other companies in the moisture control service industry laughing at you do you guys?
*WARNING - FOR THE UNENLIGHTENED:
RESEARCH INTO MUNTING IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED, SO DON'T BOTHER DOING ANY IF YOU AREN'T PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN THE ACTIVITIES OF NECROPHILIACS. YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN WARNED.*
If you aren't aware what munting is, then I shall forward you to the brilliant urban dictionary page on the matter:

Also, I drew a little diagrammatic sketch to aid your learning.
I know what you're thinking, I should definitely consider a career in public service announcements shouldn't I?
