DIY Techno-hacks
Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

It was a hardcore Chemistry lab
So if we needed gloves they'd be marigolds or the heavy duty neoprene. Those were too thick.
The thin latex jobs weren't up to it either.Still too thick and rip at the first sign
Johnnies are better for this as they are tested for tensile strength and are designed to be as thin as possible.
It also really winds up undergrads, so *WIN* (x2)

Ah
I'm just a poncy physicasl chemist so all we do if make graphs and look at them and go hmmmm. No need for gloves there! Why would it wind up the undergrads? I'm still an undergrad (technically - about to do my masters year so don't feel like one much any more) and I find it hilarious...
