Thought emporium said that microbiologists are the most super stitisous and that if it took sacrificing a goat to get better results they would

Just yesterday I had a CO2 valve close on me during an experiment while I was away for a moment. It takes effort to turn the valve so it couldn't have just shaken closed or something. The valve was in the corner of the room and was blocked off by boxes, so nobody could have accidentally bumped it. And, besides, nobody was in the room anyways. Before the experiment I made damn sure that the CO2 valve was open, and even looking through the computer records (which records the CO2) says that the CO2 valve was open until I walked away.

I still have no idea how the valve could have closed on its own. Now, I'm not saying it's a ghost, but I am saying that I cannot think of a single non-paranormal explanation. I've clearly angered the science gods and I would do well to sacrifice some more cells to the science gods to appease them

Mother Nature is a prankster. She was just having a little fun.

See, it's not superstition. Scientists all say so.

We have a ghost living in our microwave. We've been sitting there, in the middle of a meal, and the damn thing turns itself on. Probably doesn't help that half the town was built on an Indian burial ground.
