Very Safe Science, Tuesday, May 23

[meepmeepmeep]

Dr. Honeydew had learned nothing from Travis' chat with him last week because Beaker was in the front of the lab today with a giant box labeled "DELICIOUS SNACKS (VERY SAFE) (NON-FLAMMABLE)."

"Meep meep meep meep meep!" Beaker said grandly, opening up the box and pulling out a giant glass container of paperclips.

"Meep meep meep mee?" Beaker muttered, tossing packing peanuts around as he found a piece of paper with, presumably, an explanation.

"Meep mee mee meep--"

Too bad you won't understand it.

"--meep meep," Beaker concluded after reading the letter aloud, then opened the glass container and put a handful of paperclips into his mouth. "Meep!" he said, sounding surprised and happy. He went back for more. "Meep meep meep me!"

Delicious edible paperclips! Who wouldn't want such a thing?

He hopped down from his stool with the paperclips, ready to hand them to everyone--because you all wanted to eat paperclips, too, right?--when his nose fell off.

"MEEP!"

He picked it up off the floor. "MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP!!!"

Today's new lesson: nose glue! Let's make some! Right now, even!

"I could probably genetically alter him to grow a new one," Miguel offered.

What? It was Beaker! Growing an extra nose would probably be anticlimactic.

“Maybe . . . wait and see if he does it on his own first.”
