For the study, the researchers recruited 60 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 50 and gave half of them a half litre glass of alcoholic beer. The remaining participants were given non-alcoholic beer.
The volunteers were then asked to perform a range of tasks including a face recognition test, an empathy test and a sexual arousal test.
Another exciting, fun day at the lab! You wonder how many questions there are on a sexual arousal test. Maybe only one:
1. Are you sexually aroused?
□ a. Yes
□ b. No
□ c. It depends. What did you have in mind, Doctor?
6. Do not drink anything. Especially that weird swirling stuff glowing greenishly on the stir plate. For God's sake!
7. Don't ask what's behind that heavy bolted door. They won't tell you and, really, you don't want to know.
8. Those oddly modulated screechy sounds coming from behind the door. You don't hear them. Move along, now.
9. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES agree to spend the night in The Lab because "it sounds like fun". It will not be fun.
10. Those aren't human organs, we don't know where they came from and they're not moving around the aquarium on tiny little pseudo-pods.
11. Smile. Back slowly out of the door. Keep smiling. Run. Now.
The closest to lab work (unless retrievers count) as I ever got was preparing samples for concrete density and compressive break strength, and nuclear compaction. I always preferred field work.
I hear you, brother. A day without playing in the sink is a day wasted. All the startups I've been a part of, the #1 qualifications are a willingness to learn and to get your hands dirty. Sounds like you'd fit in fine.
Aye, Beer Gogglin' be part o' the Scientific Record now!
That ad is making me tharrrsty.

That'd be a sea-goat she-goat?

As a Wonkville Public Service to those here not blessed with knowing WTF goes on in a laboratory:

Is that a paid position? Not that I'm looking for a jerb or anything…
None of the subjects in my lab receive money, but we try to pass the hat for donations to their next of kin when the study is over.
