dmankhey Forum Admin United States 1565 Posts	Posted - March 29 2006 : 12:26:42 PM The recent study on Molecular Weight Markers brought a lot of wonderful and creative responses from our members to the "If your favorite Molecular Weight Marker was a shoe, what kind would it be, and why?" question. The entire collection of responses can be read in this article: http://www.scienceboard.net/community/news/news.296.html I propose a vote! Which quote do you think is most clever/amusing/insightful/etc.? Or maybe you can come up with one of your own! Simply post the quote you like best in a reply to this thread, and we will tally them after we get a good number of votes. Who knows? There may even be some ViewPoints prizes involved for winning quotes! Happy voting! Dick SAB Membership Coordinator ------------------------------ "Vacuums are nothings.

hkiefer Senior Member United States 1298 Posts	Posted - March 29 2006 : 2:40:11 PM I personally found this one amusing: They are like the sandals of Buddha leading me to data understanding and enlightenment. :). Heather
LoriKelman Senior Member United States 1186 Posts	Posted - March 29 2006 : 7:54:14 PM Oh, any of the ones that say DNA MW markers are like "running" shoes...nyuk nyuk nyuk...
ScientistAB Senior Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted - April 12 2006 : 12:09:46 PM How many academics can afford Jimmy Choo shoes?!?
farai Advanced Member Kuwait 2357 Posts	Posted - April 12 2006 : 5:55:21 PM I vote for sneakers quotes in general and I chose the following "Comfy sneaker - should fit and feel familiar as a good friend." It�s not mine
Avicenna Senior Member Canada 559 Posts	Posted - April 13 2006 : 04:25:08 AM quote: How many academics can afford Jimmy Choo shoes?!? ... probably the same number of academics that actually want Jimmy Choo shoes ;) unfortunately for me, many of our molecular weight markers have the new nifty "non-marking soles" on - making tracking a chore....

ScientistAB Senior Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted - April 13 2006 : 10:00:17 AM The only thing that's special is the price tag. About $1000 a pair!
dmankhey Forum Admin United States 1565 Posts	Posted - April 13 2006 : 3:47:16 PM quote: Do not laugh I had never heard about JImmy Choo shoes before, what�s special about them? Yeaah...they're all the rage in Hollywood these days. I love picking up those deliciously awful STAR and CELEBRITY mags and seeing pictures of celebrities. It's like reading a personal ad... ie. Here's a picture of Nicoel Richie: Current weight...what she didn't eat for dinner...her shoes are Jimmy Choo (of course)...her dog's name is... You get the idea.

cseguin Forum Admin United States 81 Posts	Posted - April 13 2006 : 5:29:49 PM They create a real high fashion look when paired with a lab coat.
dmankhey Forum Admin United States 1565 Posts	Posted - April 14 2006 : 07:43:08 AM Anything paired with a lab coat is fabulous. Maybe Jimmy Choo or even Donatella Versace could put out a special line of designer lab coats...for the 'discriminating scientist'.

dmankhey Forum Admin United States 1565 Posts	Posted - April 14 2006 : 10:37:17 AM What WOULD you do with $1000 burning a hole in your lab coat pocket? Dick Membership Coordinator ------------------------------ "Vacuums are nothings. We only mention them to let them know we know they're there."
hkiefer Senior Member United States 1298 Posts	Posted - April 14 2006 : 2:23:02 PM The boring answer is pay off bills... The "dare I dream" answer is take a fun family vacation somewhere kind of exotic (although $1000 won't go that far with a family of 4). Heather

manickamj Member United States 7 Posts	Posted - August 30 2007 : 6:18:39 PM I vote for the sneaker response! "If it makes no sense then it simply means it has all the sense in the world"
skm Senior Member India 718 Posts	Posted - August 30 2007 : 11:42:38 PM Yes I do also "Diamond was just a coal that did well under pressure" by Santosh Kumar Maharana
