These delightful images are from a game called CellCraft, which can be played for free here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/cellcraft/cellcraft.

          Oh, by the way, the next image is perhaps one of the most bitingly satirical commentaries on what most of America thinks about scientists. If part of your job involves writing grants, keep this image in your mind the next time you&#8217;re out in real America and think you should complain about your working conditions. Imagine what it must be like to actually work for a living.
