Picked up this link over at Slashdot, interesting quick read. May offer some cold comfort to those bound to their desks (it could be worse).

Kinda surprised to see astronaut on the list, though it makes sense when you see the details.

I had a biology teacher who once worked with stool samples. The fun stories we heard about that.

Pfft. I play with poop all the time. Also blood, urine, sputum, pus, and various unidentified excreta.

They should put med techs on the list.
