Periodically amusing

[ridokulous]

So, I found these and laughed more than I needed to. I want to make a batch of these! Perhaps once I find someone in town who will appreciate the humor, I will.

Actually, I love this whole tag, especially the Gel Electrophoresis. I really want to go grocery shopping for test batches

That...looks like something my mother would love. She's a doctor back home and something like that would have made her day. I'm partial to the binary cupcakes myself, having more of a computer programing/engineering background...

Oh, um, sorry, I think I forgot to introduce myself. Wesley Crusher, and you are?

[ridokulous]

Oh, your mother sounds like such a lovely woman! Perhaps you can make a batch and send them to her through the post?

Ooh, computer programming, you say? I've done a bit of that myself! I prefer working around biology, but there was a "special project" that required me to learn programming and engineering. It was rather useful for a variety of things! I'm impressed to meet someone here in the field!

Perhaps you could make binary shortbread cookies, like the Gel Electrophoresis. Except the "gel" area could be black, and the binary would be white. It seems like intricate work, though, but I'm sure you're used to that!

Haha, it's very nice to meet you, Mr. Crusher! Most people just call me Dok. :)

Yeah...she is, and I'll consider that, thanks. And I know a bit of biology myself, but it's mostly astro-biology--space stuff.

I love engingeering, I served aboard a ship for a few years learning all sorts of amazing things...I'm really no one to be impressed over, I just enjoying inventing and tinkering with things.

My mom makes great shortbread, maybe I'll ask her to do that the next time I see her.

Oh! Astro-biology is fascinating! I've only listened in on a few seminars on the matter, but from what I recall, it's a remarkable field!

A ship, you say? Like maritime engineering? It must be difficult to conduct any kind of experiments at sea (Oh, Dok..)! Any kind of engineering takes quite a bit of skill, though, so I must disagree with you, my friend -- you are indeed someone to be impressed over! Inventing and tinkering is what brought forth some of the world's most brilliant discoveries!

Ooh, that would be lovely! Shortbread is so delicious, but I've had horrible luck with it recently! Perhaps you could ask her if she has any pointers for me?

[shut_up_wesley]

Maritime, yeah. I trained at a naval base in California--and it wasn't as hard as it might seem, the areas I had set aside for my experiments were the most stable sections of the ship.

And you've listened to lectures on astro-biology, just, on your own? You're probably only the third person I've met here who learns for the sake of learning. You heard about the amino acid discovery near the center of the galaxy? Isn't that amazing?

I just you're right and the discoveries, but I've never really thought about it that way--where I come from invention is part of the human experience.

Oh, um, I would ask her but...I can't exactly contact her right now yet. I'll see what I can do, though.

Ah, it sounds like you're not only a brilliant mind, but you have your wits about you, too! Very rare in young men these days
