The Mad Scientist's Lair is official!!

My laboratory is taking shape--soon I will be able to start my research back up on a very low budget.  I also have a number of students clamoring to do research for credit or on a volunteer basis.  As long as they are ok with being addressed as 'Minion'.  Seriously.  I don't have time to memorize names, and Minion #1 is a logical way to address the problem.  I will probably make some shirts.  Note to self, I should look into using glow-in-the-dark paint, so in case of power failure I know who to scream at.  And black is always classy.  I don't think that minion is a bad term, it just has connotations with...ok, mad scientists and villains, but I don't view myself as mad, or evil.  At least no moreso than anyone else in pathogenic microbiology.  Also, to demonstrate my good faith I pledge right now not to use any of my minions for experimental purposes as a guinea pig.  There, I'm officially a good guy, right?

On other news, what does it say about a professor/scientist if you have a T-Rex head behind you in your office?  Cool, edgy, right?
