I don’t know if people have heard but apparently, male users of laptops are at risk of becoming infertile. Well, I think this is stupid. Basically, if you use a laptop on your lap, it’s supposed to raise the temperature of the, ahem, gonads so that they explode or something.

Quick! Do something about it! Like… well nothing really, cos it’s the stupid media blowing things all out of proportion. A pair of tight pants has the same effect, so in essence, laptops are as dangerous as a pair of pants.

It’s like that thing a while ago about apple juice. They said that there was cyanide in apple juice, and that it could possibly kill someone. It turns out that there’s such a small amount that you’d need such a large volume of apple juice you’d be more likely to drown in it than be poisoned by it.

Isn’t this pretty:

It’s some of the growth data from my clover experiments, showing how differently treated plants grew over the course of my experiment. Today’s been the most disgusting day I’ve had for ages, and it’s all my fault. It’s really weird, yesterday I was in such a good mood, and today I’ve been the exact opposite.

People that know me may have noticed that I have two moles on my right cheek.

Well not any more!

This morning I managed to shave one right off. It doesn’t hurt, but it is bleeding copiously.

Right, so I’m sick of my degree. Well, no, I’m not really. I don’t know. Everything seems to have exploded at once. Tried to collect my data so I can actually write something for a change, instead of just sitting about and the lab’s locked. Why on Earth is it locked!?! It’s never locked! Maybe today is a special Let’s Annoy The Third Years day. It could be called LATTY day!

Well, I thought it was funny.

So yeah, went to go and see my supervisor, and he’s gone walkabouts. Plus I’ve got to write an essay on parasites in about three days, since the lectures still haven’t finished.

Anyways, it was weird. Not as weird, however, as Pirate Writers last night (another open mic thing). One of the first acts was this drag queen, and I don’t want to be nasty, but I wasn’t overly impressed. There’s nothing like a good drag queen, don’t get me wrong, but she was nothing like a goo… no, I can’t say that, it’s mean.

Went to my lecture this morning though, so it’s not all doom and gloom! I’ve been about a million times better with the whole getting out of/going to bed thing. Can’t take all (read: any) of the credit there though, seems to be a bit supernatural. You know, lifelong habits being broken and all that. No yeah, I can’t be too negative about stuff, it’s just one bad day.

Got some work back which I handed in a while ago. The comment was “A “quirky’ attempt which almost works.’ That’s a bit funny. The title was “Biology is not a can of worms’ after all, so it’s probably not too unfair.

This morning I woke up and shouted something. I really have no recollection of what it was, I think it was one of those funny sleep things that I sometimes do.

Anyway, evidently one of my neighbours (whose bathroom is right next to my room) heard me because he shouted something back.

Just did a dictionary.com search for “bint’ to follow up on a previous blog entry. It means “woman’ or “girl’ and is “Chiefly British & Offensive”. Anyway, googled the word “bint’ and came up with this:

Welcome to bint magazine, the weekly online magazine for women. Are you a bint? Take our test and find out.

My bint rating was 58.83%:

“You’ve taken the first steps to bintness. You fantasise about standing up in the Monday morning meeting, swearing loudly and walking out with the goldfish. But what stops you? You’re worried who’ll pay the credit card bill at the end of the month? So get a rich husband.”

Last time I stayed up really funny things happened in my lecture the next morning. I kept half-falling asleep in the middle of writing something, and when I looked at what I’d “written’ it was just gibberish. Ha ha! I’ll try to find some and scan it, hang about…

In the image above, I think I woke up halfway through the word after “but’ and finished it with “-ical’. I scanned the whole page (97 KB). The original text and images on the page are pixellated out just in case of copyright stuff.
