Aug 26 2008Awesome: Woman Makes Cheap Solar Cells With Pizza Oven, Nail Polish, Inkjet Printer
Nicole Keupper, the hottie scientist seen above, somehow managed to make cheap solar cells with a pizza oven, nail polish, and inkjet printers. The feat won her two Australian Eureka Prizes, Australia's top science award, and, possibly, something to do with vacuums. Anyway, there's hope that the new cheap solar cells will make renewable energy a reality for developing and developed countries alike. And while I couldn't find out exactly how the cells are made, I have a pretty good idea. First, Nicole does her nails -- something to attract attention, but not too whorish, a subtle pink. Next, she gobbles a large cheese pizza, possibly with mushrooms and black olives. Lastly, she prints a solar cell. Now am I a scientist or what? Huh? Yes, it's a butcher's coat. No, I couldn't get a real lab coat because they started locking the chemistry building after dark. Something about "some asshole stealing lab coats". Hey, I can't help it if I look good in white.
Australian student fashions solar cells out of nail polish as only MacGyver could [dvice]

Average looking girl = Average looking girl
Average looking girl + Scientific breakthrough = Hot

This article is sooo old. It turned out she just stole the idea from her ex-boyfriend, who is a science professor in Jamaica. So they handed all the awards over to him. Then declared that no more females in the continent of Australia were allowed to become scientists.

@rachel
Shouldn't you be making your husband/boyfriend a sandwich?

Damn!
I wish I could just find a girl who can keep the same job for more than 3 months at a time...well, that and help keep the cabinet stocked full of Capn' Crunch.
I don't know what I'd do with a girl who can get down all sciency and stuff.
I wonder if she owns the pizza oven? That would be sweet.
Chix + brains + pizza ovens = sexy

Wait, so you want to eat a chicks brain cooked in a pizza oven? I'm confused. That doesn't sound sexy at all.

@9 Go eat a pizza-oven cooked chick brain then talk, ok? I'm sick of people who judge us brainers. It's not just for zombies anymore.

I'd stuff her oven with my solar energy any time of the day, any day of the week... except for Sundays, Sundays are for hentai and hentai only.

Alright all you male chauvinists, give women some credit! After all, they can raise kids and clean your house too.
NOTE: Preferably my house and my kids...Oh and I'll take that sandwich as well.

Woman + Problem + Basic Tools = Solution
Man + Problem + Basic Tools = Meetings to discuss possible ways to look at finding a solution, resulting in waiting until someone (female) solves problem, then brings it to them on a silver platter with a sammich.

Ha! woman uses nail polish for something other than f**cking up my coffee table and comic books. Make solar cells the man's way, use duct tape. Kidding she's a hot scientist, me rikey!

@14
You suck at math.
17. Icon - August 26, 2008 3:31 PM
My deepest apologies to #11 and any other brain eating non-zombie out there. My comment was uncalled for and I stand corrected. This brain I'm half done eating is very, very sexy.
18. Thumperchica - August 26, 2008 3:39 PM
@ Icon - I'm a girl... according you to I'm s'posta suck... at math...
19. Icon - August 26, 2008 4:07 PM
Oh come on. I'm just messing around. I love the ladies. What are you doing Friday night? We could totally have a Geekologie date night. If you decide to partake, I'll be at home jerking off to hentai, like usual.
Call me.
20. Douche - August 26, 2008 4:13 PM
Thumperchica, there is no need to stop your sucking with the math. The idea is to continue sucking other things as well. Come on over and I can help you ou....
OUCH!!!
No honey, this is purely in the interest of education... Its not what it sounds like. Honest. We will be discussing the juxtaposition of ...... (thunk... clip)
5 hours later.. Honey? Hello?
Damn. Well if you're still interested the lesson can begin shortly... AHHHHH!!! way too short!! TOO SHORT!!
21. Ben - August 26, 2008 4:23 PM
Holy shit, Icon, I was kidding. I didn't think you'd actually do it!? omgomgomg this is bad, this is very, very bad... i'm going to be sick...
wait, so it IS sexy you say? hmmm...
22. Icon - August 26, 2008 4:44 PM
Ben,
20 minutes after digesting the brain as suggested, I've become a self-aware zombie. Yeah, I know, crazy shit huh? Red eyes, hunger for human flesh and all. I'm nom'ing on a co-workers brain as I type this.
It goes well with fava beans and a nice chianti.

I called Icon. Now half of my brain is missing. Not the part required to talk/type/earn $$. Just the part to keep from drooling on myself & my sex drive... Dammit Icon, couldn't you take the smart part?
25. Icon - August 27, 2008 11:26 AM
sorry. :(
