Hehe. See, how boring would your life be without such incidents?

So are these techs undergrads by chance?

Some of them- i.e. the fire in the base bath- were my undergrad advisor (and his PhD in chemistry!) and some were our master's-holding tech (who has the brain of an underdeveloped pea). The chloroform was just an accident from storing it on top of something else (never a good idea). The rest are my lab's postdocs. Sadly.

Dare I ask about the nature of a Chicken Incident?

Ahhh, this sounds just like a list for "You know you've worked too long in a lab when...(fill in the blanks)..."

:D

Yes, please elaborate on the chicken.

It's like the Noodle Incident: much more fun to refer to than to define. Let's just leave it at that.

Wow, you work with some scary stuff! The most dangerous solution I had to deal with was phosphate buffer. :D

UR: Well, I was a chemist before. Hence all the FIRES.
