Small vials of unknown liquids, we need a dungeon

We are due for a lab safety inspection, and yesterday, while cleaning out a cabinet, my labmates and I discovered unlabeled vials of colored fluids, in three different colors. In our lab colored usually means toxic, but because they are unlabeled, we didn't know what to put on the toxic material disposal forms. The purple one is too red to be coumaussie blue or any of the loading dyes, but too blue to be hematocyclin. The blue one is not blue enough to be coumaussie, we usually leave trypan blue in the container it came in, and its not viscous enough to be any of the dyes. The pink one had stuff growing in it.

After much deliberation we had to label it as "unknown liquid" and hope that the Haz Mat people can figure it out.

I realized that I should never ask my PI to score phenotype for me, because though the instructions state to put down either 0 for wild type, 2 for mutant, or 1 for uncertain, I get numerical values such as 0+. How the heck do you run statistical analysis on 0+? What does that even mean, if you try to plot it on Cartesian coordinates? What's a negative zero, then?

In other news. OkCupid does this thing called "quick match" where someone indicates they're interested in you, and then the site sends you an email with nine photos, one of which is the person who is interested in you. If you pick the right one the site'll alert the person to let them know you are interested as well. If you pick the wrong one, nothing happens. I wanted to mention this because of the nine photos I just received, one of them is a photo of a boat.

Now I may have misunderstood, but isn't a profile photo supposed to be a photo of a person?

Com'on girls, didn't you always want to date a boat? (It's even one of those ones with sails!)

Neuromancer has a graphic novel? Why wasn't I told this?

The brown opaque honey stick is either chocolate or coffee, but more likely chocolate with a strong chemical taste. (It tasted like how some of my reagents smelled.) The peach opaque one is ...either plum or very sour peach. More likely to be peach, but I'm used to artificial peach taste being really sugary sweet and this was surprisingly sour, given that it's, well, honey.
