Electric Light Testing

7 September, 2006

You know, if I was the mischievous sort (be quiet, Paula), then I could have great fun in the next couple of days:

Hi all, Just as a reminder to look after the guys who are currently checking the safety of all our electrical equipment. As they are not scientists they don’t realise that they should be wearing gloves to handle certain equipment in places like an ethidium bromide room. So keep an eye out that they don’t handle any contaminated equipment (chemical, radioactive etc) without suitable precautions.

I am out for revenge after my screen and keyboard were covered in paint dust:
"Oooh, no, you can't go in there. That's where we breed the radioactive gorillas. And that's where we keep the failed cloning experiments. It's probably safe but I just need you to sign this indemnity form". . .

There's a big, red sign on my computer that says not to turn it off unless there is a systems officer or someone from the lab in attendance. Unlike most computers around here, mine does not have an obvious power button. Can you tell what it is, yit?

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
