Let's be honest

Thanks to a childhood filled with sci-fi/horror books and movies, I am especially intrigued by this "lab" situated near my new temporary office. Sure, my cerebral cortex is like calm down, but also DANGER. And those frosted windows? They certainly add to the potential for an "outbreak" of some design.  

Let's be honest: laboratory is a synonym for a fraught 48 hours from an home-made asylum. Yikes. Remember The Fly (1986)?! (Don't google it.) Hence, that's why I would LOVE to visit this room! Because, mystery. Because, curious. Because pea-brain. 

Dear friends, what in the amygdala do you think's going on in there? 😕😁

  1. You're funny. I don't know what's in there. Only one way to find out ....

  2. Codex: Blurry what does it say?

    This is what we get for setting horror movies in normal settings. Lovely chalet for skiing? Is Nicholson showing up soon? run. Watch Pluribus, nod to King Stephen.

  3. It's not exactly inviting, is it?

    I don't think I saw that version of The Fly, but I sort of recall the 1956 movie.

  5. It's neuroscience, not microbiology. They're probably hooking people's brains up to wires and monitors.

    Go in and let us know what you find. Curious minds want to know.

    1. Exactly! And thanks to neuroscience they also have telekinesis or something.

  7. I LOVE David Cronenberg's "The Fly" (yay, Canadian director) and it made me a Jeff Goldblum fan for life, LOL.

  9. I find it so interesting that you see this and that is where your mind goes. To me it's so very different. but then I am obviously a simpleton because Mr DB, I had to look up that SAT word. See what dumb broads you hang with? (you have SAT's in Canada right?}

    1. Ha! If you're a dumb broad, I like dumb broads.
      No SATs here, just readers...I believe at one time we tied for first place with another country for most books read annually.

  13. No clue. But I was raised on science fiction, too. It's still important to me. I also like fantasy, like dragons and elves and all that other stuff.

    You may have inspired a post. Not sure if it will come out of my brain or not. :)

  14. Perhaps you should stay well away from that door.....

  15. “Oh…my ear” (Goldblum in The Fly) I loved that movie, but it was so sad and made me cry. My brother was horrified that I cried at a horror movie, but that just means they did a good job, right?
