Science Points
I started an account at Ep-Points today, mostly because it reminds me of the Kool-Aid point system from my youth, which provided me and my brother endless fun and a pair of walkie-talkies. Once I run through a king's ransom in Eppendorf lab products on DOE's dime, I could step myself into a "free" ipod shuffle. Science, ho!
Note: for those who don't spend their lives in chemistry labs, you may still recognize Eppendorf products... they outfit the entire crime lab on CSI: Miami.

You could get a bike helmet! What could be more fun than that?

CSI craks me up. They have better equipment than most labs here. Like cities are going to pay for that ...

I started my ep-points account too. Then I calculated that I would have to buy $21,000 worth of Eppendorf Taq polymerase in order to get a free 80-place 1.5ml tube rack (estimated value: $4.00).
