Hurrah! Professor Martyn Poliakoff recently celebrated a birthday! He’s rocking the mad scientist look, and everything seems to be all right in the world. Then he gets invited to the Nanotechnology Center at Nottingham University in England for a birthday present. So… what’s the present?
Why, good ol’ Poliakoff gets to have the Periodic Table of Elements engraved on to a strand of his hair by an electron microscope and an ion beam writer. Guys… you shouldn’t have!
Check out the video of the process:
Via.
NERDS!
It’s a great prank, because what they really wrote was “Martyn Poliakoff is as dense as an erect bull penis. May the cat eat him, and may the devil eat the cat.”
