Dumb Things I Gotta' Do

My friend has a 'to do' list on a whiteboard at his lab bench. In the beginning of its existence it served a purpose - an actual list of things that needed to be done in the lab. It has now evolved into something with a much better purpose - keep those of us working in the lab entertained. Any time we have a random thought, we write it on the 'to do' list. Here are some of the highlights over the past few months:

• Touch the puppet head
• Dial N for nougat
• Attack the rythm nation
• Exhume the little rascals
• Feed chocolate to the dog
• Become the toast master general
• Stir a witch's brew while doing the running man
• Take time for tea and strumpets
• Lay siege to the kingdom of Monaco
• Double the population of Luxembourg in seven crazy nights
• Grow genetically engineered crunchberries

I wish I could take credit for all of these, but the most random (and hence funniest) ones were thought up by my Polish friend.
