Define Cynical Fan Forums

So, given the semisuccess of my last thread (which is too horrible to look at from the bad writing imo), I have been taking a few more pictures. Given that I am swamped with the curse of things like memorizing amino acids and Shine-Delgarno (CURSE YOU FOREVER) (not really), and that well, there are like 500 of them, I have to decide what to poast and make some kind of witty commentary on them all because they're all cell phone camera pictures and looking at jpeg-quality images requires a bit of incentive.

So,

We can start with the skulls of a few animals. Have fun guessing, a hint is that these are the fursonae of fairly well known IRC members. I've left in the word "skull" to help your guessing in some pictures (but not all!); good luck :V




Tribute to another picture thread; though I did not remove my socks, I believe my sock enhances my pa-foot's beauty =|

here is that bear covered in viridian unicellular photosynths, it's a lot more apparent when you see it irl

For BSP, when you asked about if there were otters at the SFZ and I said there was one on the brochure but you didn't have one so it didn't do you any good

ohgo -

for those (on that one night) who said "OMG BLOOD I AM NOT CLICKING ON YOUR LINK"

Stick this on a magazine and I'll pick it up just for giggles:

And lo, what was inside the mustelid book but ferrets (no cacomistle soz but you don't come here anymore anyway), and oddly a koyote :o

This is but a small sample of my collection. Stay tuned!

Find out:

The mystery of the headcrabs..!!

This man's SECRET! (don't read the words yet)

Delicious concoctions!

Scenarios fit for word affixing!

Crab megalops!



And

wait

aaaaaaaa *run*

Tai ottr. (:
Tai you wear a hat.

I approve of this collection. Especially that button.

I came for the iron-filling infested fingers, I stayed for the delicious concoctions.

#3 is a raccoon skull, that's the only one I can readily recognize.

Taiiiiiiiiiiii

The first one looks to me suspiciously like a duck.

Update! Because of my general lethargy, in place of my glorious adventures I shall poast pics of MY LABORATORY



the CG lab, I don't spend much time (hence the blurry fingered-up pic) here but all the reagents are housed here as well as a handful of PCR and even a DNA sequencer :monocle:

Various pics ~~

















My widdle back corner which I share under my gracious Investigator. When I grow up I'll stake out my own corner of the lab, but meanwhile I rest cozy in our corner (which is raided for supplies and ruined by other people :@ )




There's a bunch of food to eat in this fridge, people say that I shouldn't eat stuff from here but the best food is forbidden food right ;,,,;


Forgot to get a good pic of our -80C freezer, but we also have a cryochamber filled with liquid nitrogen for when you need that extra chill -190C provides


zap

an ULTRACENTRIFUGE RPM counter. You can also kinda see it in the fifth picture of the misc pictures (there's also a black filing cabinate), kinda looks like a top loading washer on the right side. It produces a G force on the order of the ten thousands

With all these highly technological pieces of equipment, we need only the highest quality timing devices and software. If it's good enough for Bob Barker, by Jove it's good enough for us!




UNTIL NEXT TIME I SALUTE YOU (yes YOU)

Tai when are you going to invent humans that can be frozen and thawed like frogs?

That is delightfully sciency. What do you use the liquid nitrogen cooler for?

Tai I spilled some liquid nitrogen on my foot, will I get superpowers in your lab if I stand in front of the ULTRACENTRIFUGE RPM counter?

What are you doing in there you coyote you are not even a mustelid get out of there.

Jacen our lab deals with INSECTS so more like we'll produce Uwe Boll Weevil and The Beatles v2

nick I'm not sure we even really use the nitrogen cooler with the scope of my work,we're technically hijacking someone elses lab we probably don't need it, but I'm still figuring out how not to drink all the chemicals science is hard `____` (as a preview of my NEXT THRAED here's a sample of what I wrote for one lab meeting

Linepithema humiles presentation
to find algorithms for ant/wasp (general hymenoptera inc. bee) behavior
using epigenetics - methylation

methylation effects: --homolog recombination of genes, chromatin expression, genomic stability, genetic defense, X-inactivation, eusociality

ants have orthologus DnMT familes to humans
methylation in three genes in hymenoptereans, thus maybe in ants? inc. gene for Vitellogenin and some epithelial protein

nutrition alters epigenetic info - royal jelly conversions via DynactinPGZ

ants (biology in general) subject to scale-free network analysis - central hubs (conserved gene clusters : airporthubs, apomorphic features : airports in the boonies)

~end notes~ (mind you these are the cliffs notes of an hour-long presentation)

Jack:No but I hear if you post ten different pictures of yourself on ten threads in the next 44 seconds you won't be visited by bloody mary on the sixth of june while you're singing in the rain and all the ducks are swimming in the water

AngsvaJ: ????___??_??_??O_O?
