My brother has all sorts of horrifying lab stories. Of all of them, the accidental immortal mold ones amuse me the most.
Also, the lack of signage in the labs. Some of the work done there makes people so touchy (and the crazies, crazier) that they don't actually put signs up indicating that what it is a lab for, and sometimes, not even an indication that it is a lab, for fear of sabotage.
Current NASA plans (to be revealed Friday/Monday) call for astronauts to land on the moon in 2018. Then, maybe.... Moonbase!

eta: If it happens then, it'll be 46 years after the last moon landing.
I dunno. They had a helluva time killing it, though.
Was the mold sentient?
That depends on what
was
is.
And then, eventually... Moonchild!
Jim Henson's Sentient Mold Babies on the Moon!
sorry. am very tired.
OK. Here's a question for you. Why on earth would a large institution roll out a meticulously designed (if mock-worthy) new "brand" "image" before making sure that all the departments had all the supplies they needed. I have stuff to mail, but I can't, because the only envelopes we have with the new logo are #10s. So someone's going to have to go to Staples to buy plain white envelopes. @@
Huh. Every place I've ever worked let you use up the old stationery until the new stuff came in.
Maybe stick blank mailing labels over the old logo on the envelope?
Kalshane, do you get collision insurance coverage? It's probably not worth it if your car is worth, say, less than $3,000.
I bought a GM-certified used car and am still paying for it, so I definitely want the collision coverage. I didn't want to play beater roullette again at this point in my life. I realize having the better car is logically going to raise my rates somewhat, but not 150%.
I'm mostly just annoyed that apparently there's some previously unheard-of report that insurance companies use that says very bad things about me and I have to wait two weeks to find out what those things are. (And said report is getting me declined or forcing me to pay ridiculous amounts of money.)
