| | Terry's LJ - Dewar follies |
 | | Unfortunately, most of the Berkeley cond-mat labs are in Birge Hall, which has no loading dock, so that the LN dewars arrive on the first floor of neighboring LeConte where they must be wheeled over to their destination by some low-seniority student. |
 | | When rolled onto the stairs, the dewar promptly tipped over and plummeted downward on its side, knocking deep gouges in the marble steps and dragging along the unfortunate student, who inexplicably held on as his cargo began to tumble. |
 | | Miraculously both student and dewar arrived at the landing without rupturing, but the dewar was still on its side and pressure was building up. |
