Desperate Times
Stranded in a hotel in an African war zone with no internet access for two weeks, I was forced to resort to desperate measures. Possessing only my passport and the clothes I stood up in; and the warning "You can catch it shaking hands with a vicar out there" ringing in my ears, I had to draw my own porn in order to preserve my sanity.
Alas, it all came out looking like Coronation Street's Audrey Roberts, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
What have you done in times of great desperation?

hmm
sounds like our lab - scottish supervisor=not much cash spending, so if anything breaks, we spend hours trying to fix it with autoclave tape, and if we need a new kist for anything, we improvise. luckily not with electricity, being a molecular bio lab, but some interesting radiactivity/cat 3 pathogens/liquid nitrogen stories...
it's probably why scientists aren't allowed out into the real world too often...
