i dremt i dremt (history of science)

clearly inspired by a story piratemoggy told me of her wicked wild youth, i dremt of how the elizabethans discovered that phosphorus will burn you = by dropping it down inside their clothes, basically

i: they had discovered phosphorus and were pleased with themselves
ii: they put the phosphorus they had discovered in a big bowl
iii: a sugercube-sized chunk of it popped up like popcorn and landed on the bare chest of a fellow whose elizabethan garb was surprisingly lowcut...
iv:... and slid down inside
v: he started bellowing so everyone else put phosphorus down THEIR neckline
vi: the final scene was a parade of the various burns displayed by lots of very glum-looking elizabethans

hurrah for double chem
