Bunnyology
I had a job interview today for a job that I don't need.
Ever had one of those? It's the best kind of job interview.
Interviewer: I see you're in good academic standing, but you have very little actual lab experience. What area of research are you interested in?
Raja: Well, I've always been fascinated by bunnies.
Interviewer: ...bunnies?
Raja: Yes yes, bunnies. You know, they aren't as cute as everybody supposes.
Interviewer: ...is that so?
Raja: Yes. They've got those hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway? I feel that these are very important questions, fundamental to our understanding of bunnies.
Interviewer: I seeeeee. So you propose to study...
Raja: Bunnies.
Interviewer: Ah. Well. Um. So what experimental method would you use to...study...bunnies?
Raja: Well, I'm a biologist at heart, so I'd say that the most effective approach to bunny research would be detonation.
Interviewer: What? You're saying you would-
Raja: Explode them. Yes.
Interviewer: Oh dear God.
Raja: And the best part is, it can be done cheaply with your standard laboratory equipment. You could simply use a combustion calorimeter, or a microwave, or an ultrafuge...
Interviewer: [Vomits.]
Anyway. I drew a comic. About teaching labs. And now you must all pay. By reading it.
I've been working on an actual serial comic strip tentatively called "B.Sc." I'll start releasing it soon. Maybe.
This entry has been dedicated to sakura_yuy, who pointed out I only update once I year. Dude, I'm trying. Trying to get back on the wagon. Or off it. I'm really not sure how that expression is supposed to work. Suffice it to say that there is a wagon, and I'm intamately involved with it somehow. But not like that. Ow.
