3. Oh dear, they do make special pens for freezer use which don't come rub off…

5. Try one of the Securline® Lab Marker pens from this site. Probably not much use to you, but hey.

6. $25!!!! You have to be joking!! I knew scientific stuff was expensive, but really…

   Everyone nicks all the pens in our lab, so I'd lose it within 5 min :(

7. You should write your name on it with an indelible marker pen :D
   Why would it get rubbed off in the freezer anyway? Unless the bugses have paries in there?

8. The pens are black :(

   Don't know why it gets rubbed off in freezer-must be something to do with the formation of ice crystals. You is physicist don't you know??

   Parties? They're probably too tired and cold. But happy :)

9. Sounds like me last night (Top B didn't happen). Maybe I should live in a freezer.

10. Hmm.. -80? Not conducive to being sociable. Since you are stuck in a little tube (covered in black splodges) with millions of copies of yourself in a box. All v. sci fi…

11. Cool (pun only slightly intended). The only thing I'd want to do in that situation is play with the little black splodges…

12. But nobody likes the little black splodges. unless they're number shaped. But in that case I suppose you're being nice and taking pity on them, so that's ok then..

    You do have a stock of bad jokes don't you!!
