Fred,
The Irish are going to pummel you for referring to Guiness as
'beer'..... I
made that mistake once, and only once.  It's stout.
Happy Friday!

Ta,
Carrie

aussie rules futbol has it all over that sissy NFL stuff. Plus
Victoria
Bitter is the best beer I've drank this side of Guiness.

G'day Mates

The only thing I don't recommend is standing while cutting.  I did
this
for
years, sometimes 8 hours or more at a time.  Talk about spaghetti
legs.

Does anyone have any data or information on bench height for
microtomy?
 I 
know a lot of people cut at routine lab bench height (36" I think)
with
no 
trouble, and some cut at desk high benches (30").  Is there any 
safety/ergonomic guidelines or opinions as to which is better for 
microtomy?  I actually prefer desk height, so I can keep my feet on
the

floor - I'm just wondering if there is anything official out there -
I've 
looked at a couple of sites, but can't find a lot to support my idea
that 
desk height is better.

Thanks - 
Jackie O'
