Me navy mate, in climes foreign, received an email:
Good Morning Postdocs:This is to inform you of a mandatory meeting with Dr. Ange E. O'Tensin (Off-Campus Guest on Site today) in Room 78 Phys Building from 1:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Mouth-Breather,
Senior Administrative Services Assistant
Now, that sounds a little odd, especially when you realize that the email was sent at 9:35 that morning. What's that? Drop everything, post-doc, and meet this guy. Never mind your experiments or your lunch date: One of our oh-so-important professors has decided not to meet our visiting speaker, and we have 45 embarrassing minutes to fill.
I wonder what thundering moron came up with this idea, and whether they've found all the body parts yet.

This is what he is going to talk about. Maybe.

Oh, and there I was getting all excited about sports cars.
"Mandatory meeting"... pffft. That's just *asking* for ridiculous excuses not to go.
