laboratory whiteboards

[Karen C]

From New Scientist magazine, some choice scrawlings from laboratory whiteboards:





The fridge in the lab is full of really nasty things. The fridge in the tea room is full of really nice things. Please maintain the distinction.


Lost: the will to live. If found, please return to the postgrad room.


I hereby withdraw my declaration that Trevor smells like a mongoose - the mongoose has threatened to sue me.


Specific ion electrodes are very fragile - and expensive. You will find out how expensive if you break anymore.


The tea bags in the jam jar are mine alone. I have coated them with a potent neurotoxin to which only I have immunity. Thieves will inevitably die a painful, lingering death and I'll dance merrily on their graves. This concludes my COSHH statement.


Remember - add acid to water, not water to acid. If you get it wrong, the emergency services are on extension 2222.


The departmental van is not available at the moment. It can be found on its roof just to the left of the A9. Mike did it - but don't tell anyone.


The bins in the lab are for paper - not barium salts, manure or body parts. Please remember, 'cos Beryl the cleaner isn't into slasher movies - yet.
