I Quit!
Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

I have an abnormally robust digestive system
And in my formative years my party trick was to eat or drink anything, even things that could be dangerous to others. One day a chemist friend of mine dared me to drink some liquid nitrogen. Without a second thought I necked the whole canister. What I didn’t realise is that because nitrogen is an inert element it triggers a peristaltic spasm causing a massive purging effect, the diarrhoea was so violent that the nitrogen didn’t even have time to change from its liquid state. As I ran from the room desperately trying to get to the toilet my friend asked if I wanted to drink some more, all I could manage to shout was “No…ice squits!”

My first QOTW pun
normally I hate puns, but it's the day it changes and this QOTW ran out of steam a couple of days ago. That's my excuse anyway.

Bad Science?
Well it has been ten years (almost to the day) since I left the world of science, and by "left" I mean "got a crappy 2:2 in Biology (the crap science) from a crap universty (Reading) and had to get a crap job in a crap profession (Accountancy)".
Perhaps I could become the BBC's Science correspondent or a writer for CSI, because they spout the most bad science known to man.
