WOW!!! CSI Get's Freaky!!

Just sitting around reading papers for Plant Development and watching a little CSI on Spike...."Fur and Loathing" - what a weird episode. Basic premise of one of the two story lines is to understand why a guy in a full body racoon suit was walking across a highway and got hit by a car. The CSIers just brought in a 'cat' in bra and panties (a guy in a blue furry cat suit - head and all!) who has apparently had 'skirtchy' with the racoon. Definition of skirtchy: animal forplay, essentially. Needless to say the CSI crew turned on the UV lamps to check out the cat suit and surprise, surprise...yup fluorescent haploid DNA. Boy what a weird episode. Makes all of our lives look down right tame, normal and dare I say quite forgetable! Alright, commercial is over...gotta go see why grown men dress up in animal suits to rub up against eachother...

Thanks to everyone for their participation and enthusiasm during the recent visit by Winslow Briggs. For my part, I can honestly say getting to meet the man was quite an experience and honor. I sincerely hope I have a chance to see him again!

Thanks all!

The Lab "Curse" Lives!!!

A little birdie tells me that the "bad water" in the lab continues to be a problem - with the birth of Bethany's son this past Halloween we thought that the lab we free of fetal development...NOPE. Apparently one of our "extended" family (a former student) is currently "with child" (since Nov). So he "curse" continues...this makes a solid 8 years with no period of rest for the wicked!!

Who's NEXT???? Be afraid, be very afraid!!
