A few silly items from today:
- Libby: Did you hear about that guy who was decapitated by the elevator?
Emily: No, I missed that headline. - As we walk into Starbucks, Joy proclaiming “I think I’m going to buy some coffee!”.
- A random lab story: A few of the researchers in our lab were chatting one day, when Jeff, an MD-PhD student, claimed to have used the rodent rectal probe to measure his temperature. He said he was feeling ill and figured the rectal probe would be as accurate as any thermometer. Of course, he was 100% joking. Unfortunately, another MD student rotating in our lab didn’t catch on to the joke. A few weeks later, she started feeling warm, and proceeded to wipe the rectal probe with alcohol and measure her temperature through her ear. Were it not for the unspeakable horrors that I perform everyday in the name of science, this incident would be one of the more disgusting things I’ve ever heard.
- Somebody signed my guestbook under the name “Frank the Frankenstein Foreskin” with the following message (which will never be posted because this anonymous person has no brain):
“He he. John and I go way back. We used to be naked models together for some art people round town. Then our lives came to a crossroads. John made up his silly little mind to become a neuroscientist while I decided to fulfill my dream of becoming a sex actor. We were great together John my man! They didn’t call you John the Bomber for nothin’!”
- A portion of the mural outside the elevator on my floor. My question: What could possibly be going on behind the scene that is producing this man’s facial expression?
