The Advice Lab

I'll simply go back to that old standby that's always safe to drink.

Baby blood!

*high fives the room*

Of course, if the drink was in a glass, how would you know it's not grapefruit juice? Probably safer just not to drink at all really.

I've always wondered: Can a person see invisibility serum, or is the serum itself invisible?

Colonel - So true. And it's great for the digestive system.

Stevie K. - Righto. You can get all the liquid you need intravenously, anyway.

Christian - I imagine it's invisible. So they probably have to make it smell really bad so people can detect it. There's been something invisible in our fridge for months now.

What always bothered me was that invisibility was limited to your person, never your garments. What good is being invisible with your danglers all out and about? I can't imagine it being any fun in the winter.

Yeah. Things that dangle tend to be the things that freeze off first.

Very good point Mike. If you have some invisibility serum you better have a plane ticket for someplace tropical as well.

Of course that goes hand in hand. I mean, if you are invisible, it's more fun to sneak up on people who are wearing less than a snow parka.

Monkeyinabox, you wouldn't need a plane *ticket*.

I work regularly with liquids contained in all kinds of exotic, sciency glassware and my experiences have taught me a useful lesson:

Never be the *first* one to drink something.

And just how would a sample of invisibility serum and a seamen sample find themselves in the same lab to begin with? Some crazy criminal mastermind that wants to go about impregnating women without their knowledge?

↳ testmonkey - Don't see why he'd need the testube full of semen if he was invisible d-:

good point. I guess I'm just basing my scenario on stuff my wife will let me do.

If Invisibility serum is that similar to semen than I wonder how many people would really want to attempt drinking it?

If the invisibility serum and semen are that similar, we'd be bumping into a lot more angry invisible people that we didn't "warn".

Wait, what happens if the invisible guy fills a test tube with his semen, would his semen be invisible too? It's like one of those Zen questions... If a test tube is filled with invisible semen, is there really semen in it? Aaaaahhh. These are the important questions in life.

Hahaha - This last string of comments was extremely entertaining. I'm so happy I made that one test tube full of semen rather than urine. It's just a funnier substance.

For my next trick, I'm going to work on an invisible semen sample!

Funnier substance and so much more entertaining to dole out.

Further, if the invisible semen impregnates someone, is the baby invisible? And if so, does that mean it's easier to, ahem, pass?

Also: invisible babies would make for some odd boobie sightings in the park.

hmm... all this talk of invisible semen, and not one person has mentioned the fact that the scientist told you it would be "perfectly fine" to drink bleach out of a test tube.

i think you angered said scientist, and if i were you, i'd avoid test tubes all together for a l o n g time. i think there' might be a mad scientist out there with test tubes of bleach plotting your demise.

If the invisible man had already drunk the invisibility serum, surely one of the test tubes was empty then?
another thought..... if a submarine captain was to drink the invisibility serum, would he become an invisible seaman?
Hmmmmmm
Another cracker Kevin!
Thanks

If the invisible man had already drunk the invisibility serum, surely one of the test tubes was empty then?

That's a good point, Mountain Gnome. What we can infer conclusively from that then, is that invisibility serum and semen appear identical.

You, Shane, and Mike Fool make an excellent research team!

If you feel that we make an excellent research team, it may just be the right time to apply for that grant you spoke of earlier. But, But! I will not be the first one to taste test the tubes. Even with our funding depending on it, I will not put anyone's money(shot) where my mouth is...

Dammit!! Since I'm not invisible I guess I know which one I drank! (I think I'm gonna be sick!!)
Wait... how do I know the other one IS the invisibility potion? It could be someone setting me up to drink two of these! "No really... One of them will make you invisible if you drink it!"
(Actually, how many of us would test the odds on this one?! Invisibility is tempting but, man!)

How do you know you're not invisible? What if one of the new developments in the serum is self-visibility, public invisibility? I mean come on, its hard enough for me to aim at the bowl now, imagine if you couldn't even see your rifle. On the other hand, if you have a salty taste in your mouth and feel a little bit ashamed, then you might not be invisible.

While I can clearly see my weiner there's no one at home who can verify its (in)visibility so I'll have to wait till my wife gets home to see if you're right!

Since I am not familiar with the taste of either potion: is the clue the salty taste or the shame ? (Because I have plenty of shame but no salt!)

Since neither has graced my palette either, my first hand(thats funny in its own right) witness accounts had described the taste as being the dead giveaway. Yet there is a moment of hope that fills the room when the recipient may just believe they are invisible, allowing the "invisible" man to make his getaway before his trickery is revealed. That is where the shame sets in..

BAMBI-REALLY:

You have to take into account that the semen carries the invisibility but the mother has a visible egg. The baby would not be invisible, merely semi-transparent. Sort of like ET, where you can see his heart glow and stuff. Elllleeeeooooott.

I know one thing for sure, if invisible serum resembled semen in any way it's safe to say my wife would not come anywhere near it.

Also, I would like to know where to submit my resume for the research team, although I will have to make a clause in my contract stating that I will NEVER be the first one to to test it out.

Sweet heaven, this is funny.

With an 18 month-old baby running around my house, I can assure you that transparency wouldn't be a problem. That baby might be invisible right after the evening bath, but come breakfast, her outline would be quite apparent.

"Looking for the baby, honey? Can't you see that banana schmear running around the living room?"

Wait. That probably makes her irresistible to Mojo AND the Colonel.

Hahah - NICE one, Jeremy :D

@Shane & Mike Fool
I love labs and experimenting, and I'm sure that the Colonel has some spare Interns?

I'm game!

The Colonel has spare everything. He was the most successful War Profiteer of the Spanish-American war.

Now we need an E! Behind the Monsters of how the Wolfman died by accidentally drinking a Coors!

I was going to leave a clever reply, but it seems I have to go make my girlfriend invisible.

Quit calling me with your lab questions Kevin! I really don't have time to answer your questions about whether or not Grapefruit Juice is safe to drink. Now time to get back to cross breeding Wiener Dogs and Alpacas.

I am just grateful that you didn't put Mojo with gyrating hips in one of the panels...

Hey - it's not too late for it....

One step even far further:

How about semen that makes you invisible?
”Honey? … did you run to the bathroom?“

...hm i wonder in my corner of the world, is there a difference between semi-transparency and semi-visibility...

...btw, i just love this site

I just paid some guy 15 bucks to inject me with some invisibility serum, and it didn't work. At least, I think it was invisibility serum.

This cartoon completely ignores the danger of invisible semen.

"This Grapefruit juice tastes kinda salty."

I would definitely be the first volunteer to try the invisibility serum, but only after it is confirmed that that no one smuggled semen into the lab.

I don't not understand that comic
Nice drawing anyway!!
Call me idiotic or what,chances are i will not come back.
*humming*
