We did a lab in school the other day where we used beans of various colors to represent genes and alleles and stuff. For some reason, this part of the instructions cracks me up:

4. Without looking into the container take out two alleles at one time to represent a new individual. When two white beans are withdrawn at the same time, put them aside in another container labeled "non-survivors."

(Emphasis mine.)

It just makes me think of some feebly sadistic guy quietly sorting beans into "those that may live" and the "non-survivors." Maybe I just have a really weird sense of humor.
