Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

I worked with a woman from out there in Madagascar. Very odd, she wore several watches, one set to time in her little village although she hadn't been back in years, and another set to London. She once managed to dump a beaker of enzyme she was using to break down cell walls down the back of my neck. I moved out of that lab, she was too dangerous to be around.

It's okay. There was an emergency shower about 3 feet away and I stripped and was under it in about two seconds. She wasn't even sure what was in the beaker at first.

She actually managed to start a fire in the lab once too, I was never sure how. Never saw anyone so klutzy, PhD or not.
