A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days

Ah, To Be Back In School . . .

And to take science courses from this guy:

The Archies certainly never thought they'd inspire a song about energy production in muscle cells.

But, when he feels like livening up his biology classes, University of Washington lecturer Greg Crowther bursts into song to the melody of "Sugar Sugar," the bubble-gum '60s tune. "Glucose, ah sugar sugar," he sings. "You are my favorite fuel from the bloodborne substrate pool / Glucose -- monosaccharide sugar -- you're sweeter than a woman's kiss / 'cause I need you for glycolysis."

I'm betting this kind of thing has to charm someone in a single's bar. Though I am not sure I'd be willing to give it a shot.

(Thanks to Slashdot for the link.)

Something gives me the feeling that the kind of person who'd be impressed by a song like that is not going to be found in a singles bar.  Try the lab on a Saturday night instead.

"I'm betting this kind of thing has to charm someone in a single's bar."

 

Probably want to reserve that strategy for afterhours at the ICSB.
