No we are not mean. Oh wait, the article, hmmmm - OK - those are cosmotologists or something. THEY are mean. Biochemists aren't mean. But, no, you may not have a cure for cancer.

They have nothing on computer scientists. Do you think that your computer has to crash?

We're even so mean that we call ourselves scientists even though there's precious little science done.

Are you really surprised that the average scientist is mean?

Biochemists are so mean, they steal all the nice new buildings for themselves and leave the molecular biologists huddling in portacabins.

Thats nothing. Ecologists have to sleep outside in the cold.

Feh, ecologists! You know what the ecologists are doing right now? They are out riding thier bikes and playing frisbee. Meanwhile we molecular people are in the lab, where it is hot becasue the chilled water is off, patiently waiting for our columns to elute. Patiently and diligently waiting until our gels run. Patiently realizing that we just forgot to stop that particular gel, and not-so-patiently getting very angry because we know that we just ran all of our godddamned DNA off the end of said gel.

And the poor ecologists?
I do not pity them with thier frisbees and their bikes and thier outdoorsyness.

Portapotties are too good for them! Don't they just have a kit to do all the molecular biology now?

Why scientist mean?

Maybe by being mean, failures will hurt less ...
