Plastic

21 December, 2008

Normal parents stand, barefoot, on toy cars and dolls and random pieces of plastic from broken and forgotten toys.

Me? I stand on (barefoot) on Eppendorf tubes on the floor of the toy room.

They hurt just as much.

Merry Christmas to the Knight family, from this side of the pond (Pacific version I guess).

My workroom contains a large number of pipette tip boxes, full of screws and nails and things, by the way.

Be thankful you're not an entomologist.

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
