Science is [[Serious Business]]. That's why any self-respecting practitioner of theoretical or applied science, mathematician or philosopher will refuse to study samples, examine specimens or patients, look through a microscope, make calculations or even read - ''in silence''. Not being able to contain their interest in the very scientific matter at hand is considered the mark of the true [[Absent -Minded Professor]], [[Thinking Out Loud|who will mutter, murmur and mumble incessantly]] to prove beyond doubt that, yes, ''science is going on right now''.
 
Common [[Sounds of Science]] include:
 
* "[[For Science!]]!";
* Prolonged "hmmmm"s;
* [[Thinking Out Loud]];
Line 23:
* "[[Ive Never Seen Anything Like This Before]]...";
* "It's alive!"
* "[[My God, What Have I Done?]]!"
* "[[Big No|NOOOOOOOO!]]"
