I'm sorry for not posting a comic, but here's a great picture from a couple weeks ago. Basically, while I was weighing out dye to mix it in with a reagent, I ended up knocking the bottle all over myself, the floor, and (by extension) the whole lab. This picture is after I had been mopping for about 3 hours and after I had washed my hands about 10 times. The floor still has a green hue to it.....

Mine was Fast Green. Very fortunately, it is water-soluble. It still took a good two weeks to get it out of my hands and untold amounts of scrubbing to get it out of my clothes, but it makes for a good story.

My dad used to tell me about a prank his buddies pulled off in nursing school where they made the punch for a party with non-healthcare people and put a bit of methylene blue as the coloring and waited outside the bathroom to see how long until someone brought it up.

I went to San Diego yesterday. I went and left the same day, but I will never do the drive by myself again. :arghh: I took my little brother to go see the USS Midway (it was alright). San Diego is nice, but the drivers are horrible there. lol

I almost wish that I was more religious so I could be happy at LLSOM just so I could be close to San Bernardino and my favorite Mexican place.

If there is one place in SoCal that I would want to live at, it would be San Diego. It's definitely a 3 day minimum trip kinda place in my mind! Plus if you're there during baseball season (and into baseball), Petco Park is great. AND Mexican food for dayz

I'm actually pretty grateful for my Mexican upbringing since it imbued me with the ability to disguise tortillas, rice, and beans in many different ways and tell people that it's totally a different meal with a straight face

Yes, the drivers are awful. Honestly, I'm looking forward to moving. There's a lot about SoCal to like, but California is such a stupid state.

SD is really nice, but I would rather live far away from their downtown.

I got brake checked 4 times when I barely got there and almost took out two pedestrians. Who tries to outrun a car at the last second?

The idiots who live and visit SD. I hate driving anywhere around SD as a whole. Hawaii was almost as bad. Give me the east coast any day for driving.

So I essentially learned how to drive in NorCal and I never understood why people thought west coast drivers are bad drivers vs east coast drivers... East coast drivers (or at least Boston drivers) are always hyper aggressive and angry and drive on reverse on a one way street for 2 blocks to find parking. I guess CA drivers are more indecisive and can be slower drivers so that could be annoying?

I have never visited California (on my bucket list though) but I can attest that Massachusetts drivers and pedestrians (especially in Boston) are very aggressive. People tailgate all the time and people love jaywalking at inconvenient moments. I live in a different part of the state currently, but even in the more rural area I live in, people constantly jaywalk in the center of town despite there being a ton of crosswalks. It's a nightmare!

Basically. Drivers in the northeast can be aggressive sometimes (and aggressive driving is not good usually), but most of the time we don't do that **** unless we have to. I like northeast drivers better because we don't drive as if there's no one else on the road. People here just do whatever they want with no regard for the people around them.

People jaywalk like that everywhere. It's bad here too. I almost hit someone the other day because he ran out into the street from between two cars in the middle of the street without stopping at all to look for cars. A second later and I would have plowed into him.

WE ALL KNOW BURRITOS AND TACOS ARE THE SAME THING.

JUST BECAUSE YOU FINISHED WRAPPING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A NEW FOOD

@Matthew9Thirtyfive You're also forgetting all of those stupid dips that are in the middle of the road pretty much everywhere except for downtown. I hate them. So much.

What about tortas? And enchiladas? This Mexican cuisine deception is quickly unraveling.

Tortas are Spanish, I do not dabble with the Spanish.

Enchiladas go in the tortilla category though. Although my grandma's enchiladas had a bean- & rice-based filling
