Oh, the humanity.

So, "Comfortably Numb" comes on the radio in the lab. You know, the Pink Floyd version. Not that mangled version that the Scissor Shitheads recorded.

First, my supervisor, who professes to be a Floyd fan, walks past and says, "Hmm, sounds vaguely Pink Floyd."

Well, DUH.

Then, while I'm arguing with him that it's "Comfortably Numb", off The Wall, one of the other PhDs pipes up indignantly, "but this isn't "Comfortably Numb. It sounds nothing like it!!"

It turns out that the only version she's heard is by the Scissor "Fuck-I-Hate-You-You-Bunch-Of-Prepubescent-Wankers" Sisters. I don't think she even knew that Pink Floyd did it first.

I ask you, what is the world coming to???

If I ever meet the Scissor Sisters I'll tear their throats out.
