Blue

In a meeting today with Dr B, and not so out of the blue he casually mentions...

"... I was drifting off last night thinking of the quantum mechanical nature of the hydrogen atom..."

I couldn't go on. However, he proceeded to finish me off with a story about an experiment to wake him up in the morning. He drilled some holes into some sun glasses and poked blue LED's through them which pointed at his eyes when he wore them in bed. The LED's were connected to a microchip which would gradually turn the blue lights on and wake him up in the morning. This plan was eventually jettisoned because the wires occasionally strangled him and apparently the haze of blue light creeping out of the edges of the sunglasses really freaked his wife out.

Utter Genius.
