A Haiku Collection About Neuroscience, Chemical Demonstrations, and the Like, Written by People who Know Nothing About It

So I was out tonight, trying to figure out what I should write on my blog before class on Monday. I was with some friends, and I explained to them that I need to write on a blog for one of my classes, and the topic should be related to either the research I do in lab, or to SPICE.

Most of this was championed by my girlfriend, but here's what our collective minds came up with. Some of it is about brains, some about spice, and some are just weird, but just as fun.

Dendrites, synapses
My brain's working very hard
Neurons are firing

Tiny mouse babies
I remove them from the womb
And take out their brains
It is for science
Society benefits
Don't judge my actions

Here, this is your brain
That Chris extracted for you
Ow! labotomy!

Brains are good for you
Hannibal Lector ate one
Frankenstein stole one

Clouds reflect the moon
Quietly mice are sqeaking
They fear the scissors

I send and receive
Like a tiny post office
Sometimes I get spam

Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer
Alcohol slows my senses
The floor is quite cold

I scare small children
Explosions from chemicals
Demonstrate science

Goop and flames combined
to entertain the public
I like chemicals

I'm impressed. It's hard to write Haikus expecially long ones about chemistry.
