Rowan Simpson: 'Would you lick it?'

Aspartame delivery mechanisms, each perfectly lickable
This sort of sums it all up, doesn't it? Rowan Simpson has a post up about a researcher studying anti-ulcer drugs, who accidentally spills some on his hand. He's got a decision tree staring him in the face:

There are a couple of possible responses:

1. “Bugger… I should wash my hands quickly!”
2. “Hmmm… I wonder what it tastes like?”

To be an inventor you have to be the sort of person who is tempted to lick!

The reward for licking in this case - not DEADLY POISON but the discovery of Aspartame. Not bad at all, really! [Via Nat Torkington]

Aspartame IS a deadly poison, silly!!! Not an immediate one, but it is linked to cancer.

thing is now that we know what aspartame can do, some probably wouldn't lick it even if they knew it were sweet.
