Very true! Maybe a modular bookshelf to hold virtual copies of my online journal subscriptions.
Or, as the authors suggested - autoclave them and start another round of seedlings.
I SHOULD not make light of their efforts! Ghu knows that much more solemn nonsense than theirs is published very day in prestigious journals!
And their article might have been a sense-of-humor-test even though it seemed in deadly earnest. With just a smidgen of tongue-in-cheek, it would have been an EXCELLENT submission for the Journal of Irreproducible Results.
JIRR gave me my archetypal, paradigmatic name for an academic department: "The Department of Psychoceramics". If I recall, that was part of a title under a figure that showed a small cracked pot.
Great stuff.
