The eternal struggle of biology students! Finding only three dead C. elegans (tiny transparent roundworms) on your contaminated plate is like striking microscopic gold! These 1mm nematodes are notoriously finicky lab organisms—they die if you look at them wrong, contaminate faster than free pizza disappears from the break room, and transferring them requires the steady hands of a neurosurgeon. Yet biologists everywhere worship these transparent little creatures because they're perfect for studying genetics, development, and neurobiology. Finding a plate with just THREE dead ones? That's not contamination... that's a miracle worthy of a SpongeBob-level celebration!
