Waterfowl FTW!!!

Nice paint job. Have a click.

And damn your eyes for beating me to a joke that I really now wish I'd had the inspiration to come up with.

Though the first-year undergrads have got their projects on display today - apparently one of the people from my department's got a group doing a very cool experiment which I have to see at some point.

I'm not sure which is better...

...clearly a lot more effort went into this second one. I suppose it would be a bit cheeky to compo the same joke twice, though. And the photo is noticeably clearer with regards to what the joke is.
