Design Flaws

"I think I've found a design flaw in your dryer. My clothes seem to be more damp now than they were when they went in."

"I think I've found a design flaw in your brain. That's the washing machine."

... I'm not going to specify who found which flaw.

Coming out

"We're going to have to be much more entertaining now; people besides our mothers read our blog!"

"Uh-oh. QUICK; SAY SOMETHING HILARI- is that a hit from Ecuador on our stats page?!"
We never expected such performance pressure from going public...

Hairstylin'

Kiki:

“I’m quite upset I can’t get my hair to stand up as much as yours.”

Nipper:

“Well, I can't help it; that’s just what happens when you have mammoths in your gene pool. We’re not sure who it was, or when it happened, but the hair don’t lie.”

Pathology is foul


Nipper:
"Eurgh. That is just awful. Augh-god, no one's going to be banging THAT in a hurry. This Carcinoma in situ stuff is enough to put you off sex forever."
Kiki:
"Oh, oh! Look up teratoma."

"Why- is that worse?"

"No; it's not as gross."

"... JESUS CHRIST THAT IS SO MUCH WORSE. What the hell is this? Second heads on balls or something?"

"... yeah. I guess it is."

Explaining the Brain

Kiki:

“So when you touch the fire and your arm snaps back, what is actually happening is a series of messages are being transmitted from sensory neurons to the central nervous system, and then back again through the motor neurons- and all this happens faster than your brain can process the fact that it is happening. In simple terms, you’re nerves go ‘OH, Shit!’ and then a bit later your brain catches up and thinks ‘Hmm, yes. I agree.’”

April Fools Gone Wrong

"What are you doing with Dr Bob?"
"I'm putting him in your bed."
"Well you can't; I'm putting him in yours."

Kiki
and I just tried to pull the same prank on each other: squishing our 5ft medical skeleton into bed with the other roommate.

Cup of tea count: one each, with much laughter
