A cup for Gary
Some say necessity is the mother of invention, others believe it to be war.
That may be so, but I can tell you that science doesn’t run on nothing – it runs on coffee.
Finally a position in society that accepts, demands even, that large amounts of the black stuff are consumed.
Scientists drink so much of the stuff on a daily basis that you’d be forgiven for thinking that the answer to an important, world-changing question lies at the bottom of an empty cup.

Yay … I am a scientist, after all.
I spy with my little eye, a fan of The Far Side!
Ah, sweet coffee. the other week i made myself a different mix of coffee each morning before school, put it in a bottle and drank it during the course of the day. it was an interesting experiment shall we say. but it meant i could get less sleep
anyone interested in the results of this experiment?
finally, a comic on which i can post a comment thats completely relevant!
I LOVE COFFEE!!
Mmmmmmm, coffee. The biotech I work for has a budget-line just for coffee. We ran out a couple weeks ago, on a Friday morning, and everyone just went home — can’t be expected to work without it, right?
what was the result, maddie?
i can’t handle much coffee at all,
Each cup of coffee destroyed
restores six manna with a
two manna bonus on Mondays.
Indeed, I am a fan of the Farside… it’s difficult not to be really.
School for the gifted… genius.
Roo, your employers are smart. No project should be planned without asking two questions:
1. Do we have coffee?
2. Do we have *enough* coffee?
Seraphine, that’s a show of absolute geekyness on your behalf. Well done, ’tis true.
This comic annoys me.
I am reading it before my first cup of the day.
It is not funny and doesn’t make sense, and I think you all smell bad.
I might go and sit in my dark room.
Hi
Good work on the 3rd angle projection of the internal component of the microbe.
Union regs state that there must be coffee in the smoko huts on work sites in Aus.
Unfortuently, no one bothered to state that it had to be good coffee.
I love coffee, I find myself spending up to $50 a week on getting it at TAFE.
Coffee beans, when I retire, I want to farm coffee beans and Olives on a boutique production scale, tho I am trying to figure out if they will both grow in the same climate.
