Now how will they cure cancer?!
Girl: (Looking into her microscope) I can't see anything. Can you?
Lab partner: Nope.
Girl: (To TA) We can't see anything in our telescope.

a concerned reader
Dear Concerned Reader:
She called it a telescope, but she was looking through a microscope.

dear concerned reader. . .
i'm more concerned that you can't read. . . u owe ur life to OAW
Dear concerned reader: Microscopes aren't the same as telescopes.
Hey, nobody seems to concerned that the "Concerned TA" didn't pick up on the fact that she called it a telescope...says a lot for the quality of the Grad students that Western is accepting.
they obviously meant microscope and the TA is saying bio 22 isn't using microscopes this month
you'd could only ever hear this at western.
I think the TA probably just took it for granted that people reading this site are mostly not retarded, and would get the joke on their own.
Perhaps it was Bio 023, we killed many daphnias (waterfleas) with microscopes two weeks ago. One guy kept them in his lab coat pocket. They were stil there this week... all dried up and gross...
you killed them with the microscopes?? thats just cruel and unusual, you should be ashamed of yourself
you didn't kill them, you're supposed to measure their heart rate after giving them different chemicals lol
...but in the process of manipulating their heart rate with chemicals they do inevitably die...
But they are miniscule water creatures, bug like...my heart doesn't ache for them...hell I eat more shrimp in a year than daphnias I've ever killed...and that is for my own pleasure, not to gain scientific knowledge!
I wanted to save a Daphnia, and when I asked what happened to them, the TA laughed and sarcastically said he'd try to save them:| Poor bugs.
Hmm... I cant seem to see any stars with my microscope. Something must be wrong with it.
