So yeah, this is just one of the neat and nifty things i've found at work. For those of us in science we are all well acquainted with parafilm. For those who aren't, parafilm is much like saranwrap used in the kistchen. You use it to cover or seal a test tube, or gel plate (w/e needs to be sealed/covered). It's a wax like sealant that can be stretched out. What's special about this is this is a canister of parafilm from the 1960's (had to dress the part with the parafilm). The canister was rusted.... so yeah, vintage parafilm. A 2 foot tall canister of parafilm, that the workers are supposed to saw off the sizes they need for each roll. That's like being given a 2 foot tall roll of tape and being told to saw the width that you need to use. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
