Oh, wait... you're talking about lab stuff? I wish I had someone here to stuff *my* pipet box.

J. Chem. "The professor is shown as a Buddha-like image and is gesturing down with one hand and making the Buddhist gesture for method and wisdom with the other. Dice tumbling from his hand represent the organocatalytic Michael-Knoevenagel condensation domino reaction discussed in the paper, with the front die representing the cyclohexenone center of the molecule being formed. The two students standing by are making Buddhist gestures for accomplishment and meditation." As for the new PCR song, I just about spat my morning muffin across the room it was so hilarious.

Organikers' facial hair warehouses nucleation seeds for xtallizing products. One might imagine organikettes suffer a functional disadvantage. Curiously, they don't.
