Since getting into my lab at 8 am, I have caused a fire and an explosion. In just about 2 hours. Do you think that this is some sort of sign? Any bets on how I will further attempt to off myself today? ---

Wow. Congratulations! I haven’t blown anything up all week. Are you going to stick with the single incident every hour or try to save up for a grand finale? Just a suggestion - avoid blue liquids in helical glass containers and/or anything labeled “T-Virus”, “Property of Umbrella Corp”, and pointy things. ---

I’ve cut myself off from any actual work until at least after lunch (maybe longer). I’m cleaning up the messes I’ve made until then. ---

Any chance of a benchtop pig manure digester bursting? Fortunately for me, I only heard about that one. I was out that day. I heard they had to clean the walls, as well as the counter and the floor. I can’t imagine anything that would round out the day better than a fountain of half digested swine feces. ---

I guess the old ‘exploding electrolytic capacitor’ trick is a bit lame for you… now, dropping a screwdriver across a 600-volt three-phase line is something else entirely. My friend saw this happen at the GM plant in Oshawa. The screwdriver was vaporised. You haven’t taken the back panels off any equipment, have you? ---
