In memory of @mbeisen, trapped inside a worm lab's autoclave, let me just say that all model organisms suck and you people are crazy. Especially flies.
Fly food is rotting garbage. Worm labs are cults. Yeast people think they're the smartest people on the planet. Mouse researchers are like if the Joker went to grad school.
Tetrahymena and urchin labs act like noble knights defending an Ancient Craft. Phage researchers are like if the Life Aquatic took place in a windowless basement lab.
Arabadopsis ppl are in the corner at the dept picnic bragging about how they can say rubisco's full name while I fish around in the cooler for a beer
I've never met a zebrafish or a toad researcher and am pretty sure they don't exist.
