Tim Hunt Not Down With the Birds

Researcher Tim Hunt (above on the right) is being ex-communicated from all things British and science because he mentioned to a panel in South Korea that chicks in labs are a major fucking distraction. Nothing wrong with the lasses, he certainly likes to bone them, but they do tend to create romantic chaos and cry a lot when you smash their beakers on the floor and tell them to start again. Only he said all of this shit like an Aspergers ridden 70-something English nerd who’s been studying cell mitosis for fifty years. About as arousing as your parochial school science teacher explaining to you where your penis goes after you’re married.

Hunt is known slightly for his Nobel prize in science in 2001 where he discovered shit that will cure cancer, The AIDS, and stop chimichangas from making you shit out your duodenum. So he’s got that. But it’s over for him. A man born of a time when the lab was just he and his nerd bridge buddies in smocks smearing each other with agar and guffawing up a storm. Men won’t change in the future, but they better learn to keep their stupid mouths shut. Next generation Viagra isn’t coming from a group of pissed off lady-scientists. Your golden age woody is counting on this. STFU.
