In our microbiology lab, we had a competition to see who could grow the most unique - looking bacteria colony. One person managed to grow a colony that resembled a tiny heart. It was completely unexpected. We all gathered around to look at it and it became a really fun and memorable moment in the lab. Everyone was trying to figure out how they managed to get such a shape. Turns out it was just a random mutation but it made for a great story.
One of the most memorable funny lab stories is about a group of physicists. They were trying to set up a very precise experiment with lasers. But every time they thought they had it set up right, a small vibration, like someone walking in the hallway, would mess it up. They ended up chasing around the building to find the source of the vibration and the whole process was full of comical moments.
In my microbiology lab, there was this incident. We were observing yeast cells under the microscope. One of my colleagues accidentally knocked over a bottle of stain onto the microscope stage. The yeast cells got this crazy, blotchy look and we all joked that they were the 'zombie yeast' for the rest of the day.
One memorable story is from a chemistry lab where a researcher was demonstrating a reaction. He mixed the chemicals a bit too vigorously and the reaction was so intense that the flask started to smoke and the stopper popped off, flying across the room. It was quite a shock but also very funny.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
A steward in a small town library had an interesting incident. He was shelving books when he accidentally knocked over a whole stack of large, heavy books. The noise was so loud that it startled everyone in the library. He then slipped on one of the fallen books and landed in a rather ungraceful heap. Everyone had a good laugh, and he later joked about how the books were trying to keep him from working too hard.
A memorable one is when a Winston player went into his Primal Rage form at the wrong time. He thought the enemy team was about to attack, but they were actually retreating. So he ended up chasing after their backs, growling and swinging his arms, looking really silly as they just ran away from him without any real fight.
One memorable story is about a cattle rancher who found a koala sitting on one of his cows. The koala seemed to be enjoying the ride as the cow grazed. Another is when a group of miners in the outback witnessed a family of wombats digging a hole right next to their mining site. The wombats were so determined and didn't seem to care about the miners at all. It was hilarious.
