What did you accomplish today?

I definitely understand the term "dumb luck".

Ignorance can be the mother of creativity... though many of my experiments don't work out.

That is why medicine is not a science but is based on science. Bioethics committees take a dim view of human crash test dummies :D

I find it interesting that happenstance plays a big part of your field's discovery process -

"I wonder what this part of brain does?"
'Just had a guy rushed in, a donkey kicked him in the head.'
"Hey, that part of his brain is mush, and the guy can't move the left half of his body. Hmmm..."

A few hundred cases like that, and you deduce what that section of brain is responsible for. You just have to wait for Murphy to do the dirty work for you. Takes longer that way. Can't we just experiment on Australians?

Actually we used animals, sort of sped up the guesswork. As for Australians lol we should ask @DustyDuke

I used to work a summer job at a university's C.E.A.R. (center for experimental animal research). I ordered, rats, rabbits, sometimes a monkey, for different research projects. Each summer we would receive a handful of death threats. Probably from folks who wore leather shoes, and had pork chops for dinner ;)

Yeah PETA was responsible for the death of someone where I worked. I still remember that and look in the parents face still haunts me.
