I'm at work. In my work, I'm doing some pretty computer-intensive 3-D rendering stuff that my biologist brain doesn't understand...but some of these processes take the computer 15 minutes.
15 minutes of having to babysit the computer while I sit here on my laptop on HOP. Then two minutes of giving the computer instructions...then more sitting.
So hey, we're all entertainers...someone entertain me!

I am rendering three-dimensional images of structures seen using an electron microscope using a new techinque called electron microscope tomography.
Basically, it uses regular electron microscopy at very high magnifications to take pictures of the same sample at many different angles. Then it lines them up and averages them to make a very high resolution three-dimensional image. Then I go through and basically color in the structures by cutting the volume into virtual slices a half of a billionth of a meter thick. That gets reconstructed into a three-dimensional image that gives us resolution that is so good that we can see large molecules.
But there's a LOT of info in there, so the computer has a lot of work to do.
And stop looking at me like this: You asked! It's your fault!

this is a mildly bizarre conversation.
i was bored today too, i kept babysitting anestitozed (sp) animals. in fact, i did no actual work work until about 5pm, cause i was either doing said babysitting or running errands. apparently it was cloudy a few miles away. i learned that. and i recaculated my college money another six million times.....

entertain YOU?!?!?! why am I supposed to entertain YOU?!?!?! I mean honestly, what have YOU ever done for ME?!?!?! do I look like some sort of fire performer, here to make sure YOU dont get bored?!?!?!
but if I must
*places out tip jar and freestyles a soft shoe*
is that better? or how about a joke?
pirate walks into a bar and asks for a drink. the bartender asks "do you know there is a steering wheel coming out of your zipper?" to which the pirate replies "arrr, tis driving me nuts."
of course you could mosey on over to the picture gallery and have a look at all my pics.
or would you like some prostitutes sent over to your work?
but for the most fun while bored at work, here's some suggestions:
-page yourself over the intercom. dont try to disguise your voice
-whenever the intercom comes on, start screaming that the voices are back again
-e-mail everyone when you go anywhere, informing them of your destination. bathroom, copier, ect.
-rearrange your co-workers cubicles when they leave to go somewhere.
there's lots more but I'm done

a horse walks into a bar and asks for a slippery nipple, and the donkey behind the bars says "hey you look like you could use some hi resolution tomography'
and the horse says "your last quote ended in a single quotation mark! also i like to visualise the shape of the surface of large molecules cus interactions like catalysts can be pictured here and direct future work on asparagus digestion"
and the donkey says 'oh look a talking horse. how not-normal'

How do you entertain a psychopath?? Is this computer you are using, in a room with white cushioned walls and can you operate it with your arms tied behind your back?? - If so thats got to be pretty good entertainment in itself

Unfortunatly this place has no padded walls
I would be having so much fun if they did though, well for the first five minutes anyway.

Some movement in Britain regarding the degree of involvement that the Church should have in the government. I forget if they were pro- or anti- separation.
But only the British could come up with such a word.

Mike - I think you got that the wrong way round - its the degree of involvement the government should have in the church
disetablismentarians want to remove state support from a curch
antidisestablishmentariens do't like that as an idea.

LOL @ Maladmin
Thanks to all you clever people for telling me what it means
It was the word that my friends and I used to say to each other to prove we were not drunk....and being a show off I used to spell it too. I have since given up drinking.
Cazzar, What do mean Mary Poppins is not a true story??? I don't believe it, next thing you'll be saying Father Chrismas doesn't exist I've been to his house btw he lives next door to the tooth fairy
