Friday Afternoon in the Link Kitchen

Good gracious, Chicagoist is ready call it a week. Well, at least we're not Anal Wart Researchers. No, that's not a figure of speech, that's a real job. (Worse than assistant crack whore, some say.) We're not sure how we missed this article initially, but definitely most definitely check out Popular Science's Worst Jobs in Science if you want to feel a little better about your day. "'In 13 years I’ve only been pooped on twice, and that’s not bad,'" says one AWR, and uh, regardless of what any of us can say about our jobs, we're definitely not dealing with the risk of being crapped on in a literal sense. We're not squeezing tampons either, so thank god for small blessings. We especially enjoyed the graphics that accompany the article—they're perfectly executed, cute but not cutesy, and exquisitely understated. "Involves digestive product." Heh.

Now we're grossed out pretty bad. We want to go home, lay on the couch, and cuddle under a quilt. Specifically a Mario quilt. (via waxy) Maybe we can sit on our gigantic escape key (click "products"), too.
