Profile for MissPrism:
I do SCIENCE for a living. This is me with Cromagnon, kindly pixelated by Mictoboy:
Occasionally I write silly lyrics, some of which the ultratalented Doghorse has recorded. Try The Daily Mail Guide to the Internet, A Beautiful Day in Guantanamo Bay, or for truly hard-hitting commentary on relevant issues, Fuck off with telling me what you ate for lunch.
The also unfeasibly talented Eclectech has made four of them into corking animations:
A Tribute to Robert Kilroy-Silk (warning: bottoms),
The Petting Zoo (warning: rude lyrics),
An Instructional Teleplay (warning: otters in frocks), and
Smirk a little Smirk (commendation: wait 'til the end and you'll get to spang Tony Blair with a rather fine Le Creuset).
You can contact me at my username at gmail dot com. I also have a blog.
Here is a poem about me:
I Like Cheese And I Like Beer
I like Lager and Gruyere
I like Cheddar, I like Ale
I like Stout and Wensleydale
I like Gouda, I like Stella
I like Beck's and Mozarella
I like Edam, I like Fosters
I like Grolsch and Double Gloucester
I like Boursin, I like Carlsberg,
I like Newkie Brown and Jarlsberg
I don't like Quorn or Herbal Teas -
I Like Beer And I Like Cheese!
American Addendum:
Starr Hill Pale and Humboldt Fog,
Great Hill Blue and Flying Dog
Are hard to find, but worth the graft-
It isn't all Bud Lite and Kraft.
Obligatory Photo Of My Cats
Current technology allows an almost limitless exchage of information and ideas; people use it to show each other pictures of their cats. I find this truly uplifting.

First draft, verse 1: The Zoo Vet's Paintmash Anthem
Sunshine Elephant would've done it better.
More verses will follow if I think of any.
edit: My first front page! Ooooo!
That's made my week. Thankyou thankyou!

» Mini Cabs From Hell
This happened this week in America.
Cab driver: Hey, I hear y'all don't have guns in England.
Me: That's right, we don't.
(Incredulous pause)
Cab driver: Then what do you use?

» Irrational Fears
Old china dolls with glass eyes scare me
but that's not really irrational.
They'd kill me given half a chance.
I know it.
edit: and I don't really like being underground, or in a big crowd.
I'm also scared of spiders, although not to an interesting extent.

» Things you've done when you've had no money.
I busked once
when I'd run out of beer/tapas money in Barcelona.
I made a sign saying 'Talentless, please help' in English and Catalan, then sang a medley of comic verse.
After 45 minutes a bloke started being sleazy at me so I scarpered, but I'd got the equivalent of fifteen pounds - a far better rate of pay than my current job in academic science.
edit: I should probably mention that I can't actually sing very well.

» Impromptu Games You Play
The Laboratory Ice Bucket Challenge
Everyone sticks a finger in a bucket of iced water, and the one who can stand it longest wins.
It's a test of stubbornness in the face of pointless discomfort - good training for a life in scientific research.
