An animated cartoon in the form of a female grater embodies and voices a script that combines in a poetical sense vocabulary from the chemistry world, especially in relation to the chemical reactions; definitions of tear gas from Wikipedia; chanting from the market sellers in Rotterdam; list of different types of meat and kitchen tools; and closing and openings from e-mail vocabulary.
