__1. Or something. I've never played WoW and have only a sketchy idea what happens. For all I know, it's actually a euphemism and all the geeky kids go off…

And then we realise it's nearly 10pm and the other guy still believes China is about to invade and we are never going to convince them otherwise.

(Okay, that may just be me.)

Nope, not just you.

That is possibly my favourite PAS thread ever.

No love for a priori conception of felafel? Tsk.

(Also, I apologise profusely for taking the prospect of an American Civil War 2060 styles semi-seriously, thus adding to the general madness of the thread. But I was just, like, NO, as Lucy…

It's like "Public Address has gone completely fucking mad" bingo.

PAS Masterpiece Theatre? (Advice on correct timing of "theatre" call appreciated...)

Having read all the cool stuff on other threads (thanks folks) before returning to the scene of the crime, can I note that I started laughing earlier than Emma.

That is possibly my favourite PAS thread ever.

I can just imagine Keith looking at the computer and going "Umm. So…

And then we realise it's nearly 10pm and the other guy still believes China is about to invade and we are never going to convince them otherwise.

Yes, and with that we say, good night and good luck. I doubt he's watching anyway, or maybe he's collecting references? I'm going…

I kind of lost it half way through I think. Danielle did come in with a WTF warning, but I'd been sucked…

And we now know that the Death Star response is…

How about... now?

Sniff. Sniff.

>-)o

Kyle's Death Star allegory is keeping me hanging in there, but it's tough.

Only works because of Lucy and her fusion reactor. If we didn't have that pony my death star would just be a fucking big toaster.

Apparently the discovery of artificial sweeteners tends to be necessarily accidental.

Emetics, too, I imagine.

"What should I do with it?"
"Sniff it."

Apparently one conversation went

STUDENT: What have I just made.
SUPERVISOR: Test it.
STUDENT:

I understand he spends a fair amount of time in Being Human stark ballocks naked, for entirely legitimate plot reasons

Within three minutes of the first episode starting. I just went to the folder labelled "Russell" and checked.

Kyle's Death Star allegory is keeping me hanging in there, but it's tough.

Yes, that was gold standard, LMAO.

I had a multi-pipetter for my current project until someone stole it and took it to Dunedin (questions of actual ownership are so petty.) I miss it very much.

There's one…

And what is it with "you people" and Russell Tovey?! (Craig and I may have recently read the same book.)

He's awfully cute, without being some hairless, over-groomed vaguely inhuman 'twink' — and I understand he spends a fair amount of time in Being Human stark ballocks naked, for entirely…

I'm just gonna post nothing in particular here, because otherwise I'm going to have to go nuclear fission on that other thread which is doing my head in.

Perhaps I'll go play with the multi-injection auto-pipette for a bit. Although I think I may be banned.

I believe Lucy has a pony next to her fusion reactor.

I aim to please.

Just as I'd love a pony and sexy quiet time with Russell Tovey.

I inadvertantly inhaled a teensy bit of chlorine gas while attempting to make said substance. Ooops.

Incidentally, never clean up urine with bleach, unless you want to follow James' brave example.

Newsflash: forensics is done by ordinary, non-porn-star people in boring, windowless laboratories. Very few glass walls and flashing computers are involved.

Pointless live cross: The Miami-Dade, New York and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Departments would really love to have that much money. Just as I'd love a pony and sexy…

Oh yes, xkcd. Mmm, yes, good.

Lolnui

Teaching it would be an entirely different matter. "Yes the colours are pretty, but could you just please concentrate on the $500 auto-pipette, because you just stuck it in sulfuric acid." That sort of thing?

More like "turning the pipetter upside-down when you have fluid in the tip does not…

unlike Lucy, I find Colorimetric assays quite sexy

Spend three hours trying to get first-year university students to do them correctly and that embarrassing problem will go away very quickly, I promise.

Lucy, that's what you do? Awesome :-)

Not precisely, but with the exception of some minor details ("I can say that this strain is probably not enterotoxic. Unless I set the conditions wrong. Or forgot to add the DNA. Or it's mutated from the sequence on Genbank.") it certainly looks…

That sounds like a pretty good set and plotline for a porno, if you ask me.

Sample quote:

The experimental section of the paper enjoins the reader to wear a face shield, leather suit, and ear plugs, to work behind all sorts of blast shields, and to use Teflon and stainless steel apparatus so as to minimize shrapnel. Hmm. Ranking my equipment…

Gossiping with friend I was passed a test tube.

"What's this?"
"Chloroform."
"What should I do with it?"
"Sniff it."
"Oh, Ok"

A proper experiment is one that leaves the windows cracked, glassware embedded in the ceiling and the class being evacuated coughing onto the front lawn.

I take my chemistry cues from Breaking Bad: Safety gear, appropriate equipment, and an emergency eyewash station nearby. Safety first, manufacturing of methamphetamines second.

Lucy, that's what you do? Awesome :-)

Failing to completely rule out the presence of barium and radium in things: a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

My friends who went (and who don't do 3D TV or porn, as far as I know) tell me that the 3d TVs cause massive headaches – at least wandering the show floors and looking at them did – they didn't say anything about the porn

Maybe it'd work better…

I have a serious need to frame that cartoon, put it on my wall, and point emphatically at it when people ask what I do.

What kind of physics or chemistry experiments are better understood with 3D video than with 2D video?

Sadly, today's kids don't learn to handle…

Cool, all those flashing lights and backlit displays. Do you get to say "Let's GO!" often?
:-)

But rather than crediting people who use the technology with its development, perhaps you should credit the people who developed the technology for its development?

Word.

But that's standard practice in this world, where people consider themselves "geeks" even though they haven't created anything original ever – just because they…

Like so?

When porn gives you a headache it rather destroys its purpose doesn't it?
"No thank you dear, I have a headache".

Maybe people didn't move to Hong Kong for the low taxes and the liberal regulatory regime, but for the absence of a civil war and a cultural revolution? Maybe? Just a little?

snort!

Hearted.

Oh wait, this isn't a Gawker blog.
