So phdcomics.com? All true, in case anyone was in doubt. My group meeting today can be summed up by the reoccurring theme presented in this strip:
We had gone down to our usual location of the second floor coffee room in the science building to find the scant remains of a pre-Chemistry lecture snacks. Evidently, the speaker had been someone important since the nibbles had consisted of prawns, olives, good cheese and a variety of raw vegetables with dips. We concluded from this two things:
1. Firstly, the Chemistry department had too much money and Physics should either raid it or grass them up to the Dean.
2. We had to devour the remains before they were cleared away.
A couple of the grad students went to work filling their plates but had to up the pace when a guy appeared pushing a trolley to wheel the dishes away. A basket of crackers, plate of cheese and a pot of olives was swiftly secured for our group meeting table which we had safely surrounded. The rest of the discussion then went like this:
Student 1: "I need to calculate the full width half maximum of this graph."
Student 2: "Hmm, crunchy."
Student 1: "..... I have crumbs on my graph."
When people stopped eating, our adviser declared the meeting over.
