Yay! Science!
First, some reposts of some older articles that have been previously posted but that I think are particularly interesting (you may not agree).
You don't really know what you want but you'll come up with detailed rationalizations to defend the choice you didn't make
A glance into how our DNA can be so similar to chimps, yet we're so different
the ineffectiveness of quack cures helps them spread culturally compared to remedies that actually work

A rather interesting tale of how Mt. Wilson Observatory became the site where it was proven through the work of an astronomer that a disease that was thought to be strictly third world is actually present in the U.S. because he contracted it himself and doctors kept telling him it was something else
Jeez, doctors annoy me, sometimes.

Motherfucking asshole failed again and now I have to restart an experiment. Nothing like having to stay an extra 2 hours to redo work. YAY!
Someone buy me a new autosampler because my employer is too fucking cheap to provide us with proper equipment. I'll love you long time.

also Hunter that sucks that your employer is so fucking cheap
Wow! They really do put their tails in their mouths and roll around like a tire.
I put in like 20 hours of maintenance and about 500 dollars in parts too, and this fucking thing still isn't right. A new one is like 4 to 5 grand depending on features, so the company line is "make a silk purse from a pig's ear asshole, we have 500 dollar a plate dinners in New York City to get to peon".
The one I have is ancient. Like I was still in highschool when it was purchased. And they wonder why things take so long.

Yep
The best part is the current attitude most corporate assholes have in this shit economy. They're all macho as fuck with the "if you don't like it, the door is over there" because they know you have limited options. I can't wait until the economy opens up a bit and there's more jobs available so I can give them 1 weeks notice to beat a salary offer or I'm out of there.

Ah man so many TAs and professors I've met have done it and it sounds like a hell of an experience.
We apparently have a rad anthro/archaeology department, but I had no idea until I took all my science gen ed classes in anthro and then a few extras. one of the few times I felt I attended a real university was when some of my senior professors were mentioned in my text books and were in nova specials.
You're giving yourself a BJ with it now, aren't you?

not science
pfft I haven't even unboxed it yet so I don't know if the hose is wide enough
hey, that's exactly the drug that i take
There's a Darwin Award for that
the MD kind or the PhD kind?
either way, if you really want to you should go for it
the MD kind
i just don't know if i have the emotional constitution for it
but this infectious disease doctor at UCLA says i have the brain for it
so now i worry that i am wasting my life doing meaningless crap when i could be helping people or something
CRISIS
I am terrified of needles so that career path was never even an option for me
i have an incredibly strong thanatophobia that generally translates into a fear of hospitals
but i was hanging out in hospitals for three weeks so i think the latter is cured
still not sure about the former though
noooo
i mean waste my life as in continuing to appraise real estate for a living
no, i am so not at a publisher
i worked for a shitty newspaper for like four months but that's it
i've been a real estate appraiser for three years
that could be an issue, yeah
that is candy
i'm really not sure
i would have said the same thing about the hospital problem but forced exposure took care of it
maybe the same would happen with the other phobia, i don't know
I don't like the ones that taste like cherry and make me forget things
