Fading out of reality while reading paper upon paper about what amounts to -nothing- made me wonder if I could make them any more interesting. Maybe if it all came in comic form. I could turn all the developmental mutants into characters.
Sonic Hedgehog's a given. But other proteins could make it too... I could totally see Forkhead and Fox. Maybe have Lunatic Fringe lurking crazily around the edges, coming up with devious plots. Fear Of Intimacy and Abstinence By Mutual Consent could be sort of awkward characters that pop up once in a while. And the background could be the alphabet soup of usual crappy names.... speaking of which...
I'm kind of jealous of the grad student or PI that decided to name a protein creating the acronym "CRAP". And then I realize that I'm only jealous because that would make a good conversation starter and poster title and realize that there are no limits to my geekiness.
Can't wait til this semester's over.
Eff.
