Dumb as a plank?

Tonight I have been doing some x-ray diffraction experiments on wood. That's right: how-much-wood-would-a-woodchuck-chuck-if-a-woodchuck-could-chuck-wood wood. Or Woody Woodpecker wood wood.

Dumb as it might sound, the results are pretty cool. Especially if you display the scans in colour. I can't say any more than that though, because if I told you I'd have to kill you. Actually, the reason is because I haven't told the person who gave me the samples yet. So think of it like an 'informing the next of kin' thing.

Hmm it would seem sleep deprivation is setting in! Never mind - this is the last scan, then I am going to bed! (it is 11:15 pm here, after all)

On the bright side, I don't have to drive home...
