Shameless stolen cat tax.
SmartAssWithAKeyboard
Ok, so the scientists from Prometheus & Alien Covenant are somehow a little more believable now.

Literally first capture day last year, too gentle while scruffing mouse. Get bit, fling mouse *in plastic bag* at partner, she catches it.

Someone at a lab on campus thought they were using Hydrochloric acid when they were really using Hydrofluoric acid.

In the archaeology field school I just finished, one girl got stung by a wasp on her ass while she was in the port-a-potty.

so you're saying...she swole?

#5 so is it now coprolite when it came out?
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
Bench science. Bench science? Bench science.

#11 now you know why blood is normally transported in plastic bags, not glass vials.
asquiiiiiiisha
Probably collection vials with EDTA or other anti-coagulants.

Yeah, I thought Caiman grow up to 9 feet max (may be wrong).

Apparently you're supposed to get training other than another grad student telling you where to write down how much you took. Who knew?

Invasive parakeets at NATO hdqtrs. You can't make this stuff up.
SuckAnElf
I currently live at the NATO headquarters and now I'm going to be looking around for parakeets.
heebiejeepie
Don't get stopped by Security. You tell them you're looking for parakeets and it won't go well for you.

Is licking fossils common at a dig site?
GneissPags
Not just for fossils, but to discern certain minerals from another. Can taste salt extremely well. Fossils aren't salty.
Banjostory
They tell you not to do in school, but everyone does. Bones and fossils will stick to your tongue. Rocks won't.
realifethings
I heard somewhere that fossils will stick to your tongue bc they are porous.
sammylynn7531
True^ source: licked a dinosaur bone at a dig once
HisNameIsPawl
In short, yes. Your tongue and fossils make a Velcro-like connection, while rocks/minerals don't.
gogomyjojo
We did it to discern animal vs human bones. But only rookies need it, after you have seen a few, you instantly know the difference by site.

Why does #3 have a third arm going to fun places?
MosEisleyPhotography
That's how fast your arms flail when you are being swarmed. your brain & body want to panic.

chickendogs
would anyone in their right mind think getting stalked by a jaguar for 3 weeks would be exciting?
orangecicle
Define 'right mind'
HighRollerMD
unless it's a cougar....then no
jothantw
I'd pay money for that VR game
ArielUnderfoot
Well, now that you know you can live through it
shileka
well if you're an ark player you can lead it to a safe tame zone
Wolfe65
I think it depends on what you're going for and what you live for. For survivalists it could be an exhilarating game of cat and mouse
LaTransDragon
I might be in the left mind, but I think it's exciting
Azerai
Yeah but ... Dragon
ErinFromTheOffice
I mean, objectively, it is. Might not be fun, but if you think being stalked by a jaguar is boring, your everyday life might be too exciting

Not as fun as being stalked by a cougar for 3 weeks
HalfricanTeet
hey now nothing wrong with being stalked by a cougar
CongratsYouAreHereNow
yes there is. the idea is much better in theory than in practice. all of the cougars i have encountered go completely insane very quickly
ChloeRed
When did you last meet someone in their right mind?
PhloydPhan
#6 I have further questions...
Banjostory
Quick method of discerning bone from rock. If it sticks to your tongue it's bone (because porous), if not, it's rock.
wqpsu
Fossils are comparatively porous, they'll lightly stick to your tounge if you lick them.
PhloydPhan
Cool - thanks!
torsen8
I'm more interested in how it came out...
johnzaku
Heimlich I assume.
ChaoticNeutralNecromancer
Ok, ok, I get what licking is for. But is he gonna need to poop it out, or is the bone useless now?
SpitefulRed
The practice of licking rocks is pretty common among the geology community, but I was never fond of it.
SpaceCthulhu
Congrats it's coprolite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BanadecCamberbootch
This is a shitty joke
SpitefulRed
Better coprolite than realizing it's just your neighbor's dog shit
redloki55
haha, poo
Yetanotterstupidusername
Archaeologists do the same, both with bones and shards
thearchaeologist
can confirm
Yetanotterstupidusername
What kind of archaeology are you doing?
thearchaeologist
At the moment i am working on a medival site in Norway
Yetanotterstupidusername
Nice, but a bit too young for my taste
Yetanotterstupidusername
Nasty habit. But somewhat impressive how some guys can date ceramics by taste and texture
thearchaeologist
never seen anybody that stuff by taste, but have seen it by texture and typology. Yeah, but so cool to see the look (1/2)
thearchaeologist
on the face of the new guys when we tell them to taste it :D (2/2)
Yetanotterstupidusername
Imho the taste thing is primarily for show, but hey, as long as the result is correct, they can lick pots as much as they like.
holyguacamonica
I. Need. More. I could read these all day, and probably add a few.

Story time?
holyguacamonica
Well, I was working in a rattlesnake lab, and was looking for a specimen we collected (non-venomous) found the tag, reached in, and pulled
holyguacamonica
Out a very confused coral snake. In my hand.
HerrFraeulein
I assume coral snakes are super deadly venomous?
Robvp
You assume right

Yuuuuup. Neurotoxin will zap the breath right out of you.
