A molecule that won’t sit still

Wow. They've been able to calculate the probable structure of a protonated methane, CH5+. Usually, a carbon can have only four bonds. So this is amazing. I thought a five-bond carbon is impossible, but I was wrong. We actually can have a Texas carbon. A dagburn Texas carbon that won't sit still, but a Texas carbon nonetheless.
