Filter paper Memes

The sacred filter paper - rarer than gold in most university labs. Nothing says "I'm the chosen one" quite like scoring the last Whatman filter when everyone else is stuck with coffee filters and desperation. That smug look says it all: "I could turn this water into wine, but I'd rather use it for my titration while you figure out how to MacGyver your experiment." The unspoken commandment of lab work: thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's lab supplies.
