to be honest she's not my cup of tea (or Axolotl pellets as the case may be)...

Flight of the concords Lab parody

Blonde Doctor claims this is influenced by New Zealand genius- of course she's biased being a Kiwi.

Personally I wish she'd feed me this morning instead of making me distract myself from hunger with Youtube...NOMS woman NOOOOMMMMMMMS

Psychology Experiment

Spikey Haired Guy has taken to working from home a couple of days lately- hence my daily stimulation really has deminished.
Ergo I have devised an experiment- the pschology of interaction with the H. sapiens sub-group, computus programus.
So I splashed him... when he least expected it.

Result:Spikey Haired guy screamed like a wee girl (I am assuming here as my observable lab mates are of 22years and older) and the lab girls thought it was hilarious.

Conclusion- I think I shall try for 2 splashes and see if it elicits double the reaction.
:)

Peekaboooooo

I have definitely grown- I have made a quite significant stomach measurement today and I have found that when I eat more pellets the rocks in my tank move.

I had this really strange dream last night.....

I was swimming, tiny and see-through...and missing some phalanges on my right side.... and there was the spikey haired guy....Also I seemed to be confused about my gender....

three pellets at once...

Check this out- my mandibular growth this month has been so impressive I can eat 3 pellets at once:)


and out of interest they've been doing some work on my kind to characterise the evolution of and development of the jaw- apparently  Axolotls are a good model for anamniotic organisms (growth without an amnion- or the big sacky thing that you have around you whilst you're growing inside your mother...)

Happy Birthday Lab buddy

Well my lab mate Kelly is turning 23- happy birthday and thanks for the noms. May all your westerns be clear and your Mass Spec be contamination free (especially from Axolotl mucins- as I know you love to pat me!)
