The 20 Most Diabolical Laboratories on Earth
-
Research is the bridge which connects the worlds of reality and science fiction. All over the world, nerdy scientists are hard-at-work in their laboratories or medeivil castles, trying to break new bounds in human understanding. We took a look at the most interesting laboratories and picked out twenty exceptional cases:
- The Amundsen-Scott Sout Pole Research Station is deadly afraid of dogs that might be aliens
- The Slocum Glider is an unmanned mobile station that collects data from the ocean, and is a safe toy for kids ages 3 and up
- The undersea lab Aquarius is constantly called upon by divers who have dropped their keys
- Argonne National Laboratory was the first of its kind, and was founded to help the army make flubber
- Bentos 300 is an underwater lab. We assume it looks like a shipwreck to fool fish
- Bharati Research Station is India’s in-development Arctic facility. They are trying to make nutritious snow
- This is the Mars Analog research station. We assume Martians put it there.
- Waterflux is being completed in the Swiss Alps as we speak. We don’t know what it eats
- Palmer Antarctic Station is a good place to hide during the Mayan apocalypse
- Oak Ridge testing facility is where they infuse mortals with insane country music power
- US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases has the least popular work picnics
- The Joint Defense Space Research Facility in Pine Gap does a lot of cross-research at Epcot Center
- The Dugway Proving Grounds were created with fake towns so the U.S. could practice warfare when it wasn’t practicing it on another country
- Los Alamos National Lab is a national treasure, now that they’ve fixed that Frankenstein infestation
- Sometimes, hostile labs kill their scientists, as evidenced by the lab of Marie Curie
- The Japanese Experiment Module-Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) on the International Space Station is like a bug-zapper for aliens
- Tesla didn’t have to wait for a bolt of lightning to hit him for inspiration. He had a machine for that
- Scientists at HAARP are hard at work trying to scientifically break down the secret of one-minute rice
- Princess Elizabeth Arctic Research Station looks like an alien beetle is vomiting girders
- Underwater labs are fine until some wiseguy leaves the door open
