Relatively common parasitic infection. The miracle is that there was only one...

Why would I waste the money on an automated pipetting system when I can have grad students do it for free? When I was doing microbiology labs, my wrist used to go numb from the hours of pipetting

@ Ali S.

Absolutely true. Even with years of conditioning, the demands on your body are extreme and any condition that you would normally never notice can become severe. Running a marathon with a cold can actually kill you. The worst I've ever had was a six-mile blackout from exhaustion and dehydration. Nothing too bad, but enough to make you realize the potential danger in it.

Smart kids fully cooking it. Undercooked rodent is a fantastic way to pick up parasites.

As a marathoner, I've never done it, but it's not uncommon. Unexpected things can happen to your body after running twenty miles.

I saw a girl the other day whos pants were so low I could literally see her hip bones. At least baggy pants are usually accompanied by boxers.

I must be an awful adult. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 24 are not accurate in my particular case. I was super responsible in college and now I'm making up for it.

The home vs. visitor bed and the springy bed are my personal favorites. Though I imaging the springy bed could get rather loud if not properly oiled. I just bought a round crib like the ones pictured for my brother and his wife. If the kid plays her cards right, she'll be sleeping in one of those stupid carriages in five years.

I thought she was kinda cute in her own way...

I work in a lab with animals. They don't talk much. I appreciate this.

This thing seriously freaked me out when I was little. It still kinda does...

@ Christophe:

You might wanna get that checked out...

I think recognizing comments is a fantastic idea, but I'm officially protesting until I see an XS shirt for sale in the Neatorama store. Subtle, right?

I would like to second * Miss Universe, but then I would be lying. It's not that I want to like men that behave that way, I just can't seem to help myself. They always seem so sweet and honest at first. Maybe that's the grand trick of it all.

I love being small. I'm 5'1" and the guy I'm seeing is 6'4"... height is just a non-issue for me. That's why I think this guy is insane to endure that kind of torture to reach all of 5'8"

Still no XS
