Latex Lab Suit

 Oh, Doctor Zschyffeilbein, you look soooo sexy...

Scientists and engineers are saddled with undeserved reputations for being boring and stuffy.

I can't do much for engineers, but a recent annotation gave me inspiration to rescue lab scientists from their staid history.

Latex Lab Suits are a biohazard-proof, spillproof, non-slip and very exciting solution to the ages old problem of stuffy old white lab coats and moth-eaten tweed jackets .

Available in an attractive array of colors they allow the modern scientist to boldly go where no microbiologist has gone before. Opaque, so there are no free biology lessons.

Also useful for making naughty movies with the lab staff, after hours. Everyone knows research science doesn't pay well.

Pens and plastic pocket protectors are going to be a problem.

       Is there a sweat collection system? Latex is completely non-permeable, and that works in both directions.

       And thus was born the Goretex lab suit idea.

       I believe this has been baked. On the Disney series "Kim Possible," (popular with the young Nuts) there is an evil genius scientist that wears a green and black latex suit. I think her name is "She Go" or something like that.

       "And look, all of my bodily fluids stay inside, close to my body!" Eeeew!   

       However, croissant for the image of shiny pink and purple lab assistants, in tight, fitted latex jumpsuits.   

       Is latex completely impermeable? I thought that hydrogen and helium could wander through it?
—UnaBubba, May 04 2004
   

       You do have to be careful about Sexually Transmitted Hydrogen. I bet a cotton wick system could overcome the sweat problem, but it might also defeat the purpose.   

       I remember seeing the full body condom on some old Naked Gun movie, but I'm not sure which one.

       One advantage of a lab coat is that if something noxious does spill on it, you can whip the coat off before the substance has eaten through the cloth to your clothes underneath. You latex coat will actually be a liability if it isn't resistant to whatever is attacking it.   

       And I sure wouldn't like to go through a lab fire with one on.

       Do you have a non-latex option for those allergic to latex?
—Detly, May 05 2004
   

       Yes, we swathe them in cling wrap. Sorry, but it only comes in clear.
