February's caption contest looks divine

2/4/2013 4:03 PM EST

Bob tries to splice some python genes into his bean plant......

2/4/2013 4:04 PM EST

We were trying to develop natural antennas with built in loading coils, but.....

2/4/2013 5:55 PM EST

Ever since Dave sequenced the DNA of a kudzu vine and a boa constrictor, any managers who interfered with his gene splicing work seemed to mysteriously disappear.

2/4/2013 6:12 PM EST

Jack the hardware bug slayer.

2/4/2013 6:21 PM EST

To really fix the problem, you need to find the root of the problem.

2/4/2013 7:18 PM EST

Jack finds there's no giant at the top of the beanstalk, just an evil scientist...

2/5/2013 10:28 AM EST

In the 21st century, many electronic engineers played an important role in the development of bio-technology.

2/5/2013 12:47 PM EST

I heard it through the grapevine that Bob is leaving...

2/5/2013 1:13 PM EST

"Audrey II, please escort the nosey project manager out of my laboratory"

2/5/2013 1:21 PM EST

"Bob, you misunderstood my request for the company to pursue a Green initiative"

2/5/2013 1:39 PM EST

Too much bull-ion in the branch statement

2/5/2013 1:40 PM EST

This is another "vine" mess you've gotten us into.

2/5/2013 1:45 PM EST

Branch statements, infinite loops, spaghetti code, logic traps, and now, global variables. It's Attack of the Killer Apps!

2/5/2013 2:04 PM EST

Bob can't join the webex. He's wrapped up in an exit interview.

2/5/2013 6:11 PM EST

The memo said that the engineers would be transferred to the new plant.

2/6/2013 4:56 PM EST

You really let me into your plant,Dexter, but I'm not grapeful!

2/6/2013 5:00 PM EST

You sure let me into your plant, Dexter, but I'm not grapeful.

2/7/2013 12:14 AM EST

"Clyde, I haven't found the resonant frequency of this circuit yet, but I seem to be getting some weird antenna effects. Clyde?"

2/7/2013 3:21 AM EST

The LDAP development team failed to anticipate retaliatory action from the Banyan Vines

2/8/2013 3:13 PM EST

The transporter development team need your help! The Python code somehow got spliced with the plant test subject....

2/8/2013 3:14 PM EST

I've got a problem with this code and I can't quite wrap my mind around it.

2/8/2013 3:21 PM EST

Yeah, as a matter of fact....we are enforcing our new non-disclosure agreement policy....why do you ask?

2/8/2013 3:30 PM EST

Dear Mr. Mushnik,

I've given up on horticulture in general, Audrey Jr. in particular, and have now started into electronics.

Your friend,
Seymour Krelboyne

2/8/2013 3:37 PM EST

The plant put the squeeze on Bob to get the latest prototype into production by the end of the month.

2/8/2013 3:38 PM EST

Feed me, CMOS!

2/8/2013 3:38 PM EST

Guthrie realized he had misheard the marketing director when he had said their new product was divine.

2/8/2013 4:13 PM EST

Oh! Have I got plants for you!!

2/8/2013 4:14 PM EST

The landscape maintenance department stages a company coup.

2/8/2013 4:22 PM EST

There IS a happy ending to this....and they lifted happily everafter.

2/8/2013 4:48 PM EST

No worries, man! We set the largest lobe of the antenna over the farmers field next door. TeraWatt here we come!

2/8/2013 6:53 PM EST

Messing with Mother Nature I see.

2/8/2013 9:44 PM EST

These Creeping Features from Marketing will be the Death of this project!

2/9/2013 8:28 PM EST

Bob regrets his choice of Python as the language for his Bio-tronics project....

2/10/2013 2:09 AM EST

Rumors had abounded that their competitor had placed a plant somewhere in their building...

2/10/2013 2:20 PM EST

-"Don't just stand there! Do something!"
-"I'm tying! I'm tying!"

2/10/2013 2:26 PM EST

"She fancies you, man! She thinks you're Mr. Bean!"

2/10/2013 2:45 PM EST

It all started with a bind date. It ended up with tying the knot....and they lifted happily everafter.

2/10/2013 2:51 PM EST

As the saying goes: "There's no love among leaves!"

2/11/2013 1:19 AM EST

Grapevines you say? I would just ignore them because round here they never amount to anything but idle rumors and gossip.

2/11/2013 1:27 AM EST

Come to brag again about your biology projects doing something better than silicon?

2/11/2013 1:36 AM EST

An old fashioned hardware On/Off switch would be handy right about now wouldn't it?

2/11/2013 1:40 AM EST

Your right, we can't program a FPGA to do that.

2/11/2013 1:48 AM EST

It depends,there's several health reasons why certain plants are not allowed in offices, Why do you ask?

2/11/2013 1:53 AM EST

Let me guess? Now you want my opinion?

2/11/2013 2:01 AM EST

The way I see it, things might have worked out a tad better if engineering had been asked for some input on requirements.

2/11/2013 9:17 AM EST

OK deal - I stop whining about the lack of comments in your code and you stop the vine treatment.

2/11/2013 9:20 AM EST

Management's new way of handling the office whiners

2/11/2013 9:45 AM EST

Jack had warned the bean counters to stay away.

2/12/2013 9:49 AM EST

Hang on Frank, I've got an App.. er, axe for that!

2/12/2013 9:51 AM EST

Virgil ran into an unexpected twist in his organic solar cell project.

2/12/2013 10:00 AM EST

Our newest engineer came from an Ivy league school.

2/12/2013 10:02 AM EST

It's not like good engineers just grow on trees.

2/12/2013 10:06 AM EST

Ahh! Does anyone here have a background in Bio-science?

2/13/2013 8:02 PM EST

Bad News: When Richie's LED grow light phase locked at his potted plant's resonant frequency, his Creeping Charlie outgrew his office.

Good News: The manager head count seems to be going down.

2/19/2013 10:02 AM EST

This is what happens when ordinary houseplants are exposed to CFL light bulbs!

2/20/2013 7:23 PM EST

Oh oh, the plant has another open personnel req.

2/22/2013 1:14 AM EST

I would like to help, but it's not covered by my job description.

2/22/2013 2:19 PM EST

When they gave Bob his own lab and said "see what you can come up with", I knew something like this would happen.

2/22/2013 2:36 PM EST

Carl calmly demonstrated his new biotechnology to the consternation of the rep from Plantronics.

2/22/2013 4:30 PM EST

It's a little late, but Seymour now regrets naming his office plant "Audrey II."

2/25/2013 1:40 PM EST

The new signal tracer from Plantronics is a winner! It tracks down the source of the error and indicates the problem area using advanced clamping mythology. Optional bonus feature: emitting an audible signal to indicate success!

2/25/2013 4:01 PM EST

All I said was:"I want to go on leave!"

2/25/2013 4:04 PM EST

"Your experiment leaves a lot to be desired, professor!"

2/28/2013 11:34 AM EST

He's our new Java Beans developer.

2/28/2013 11:35 AM EST

I'm climbing the corporate beanstalk.

2/28/2013 11:35 AM EST

How old ARE those coffee beans in the break room?

3/1/2013 3:40 PM EST

A little shop of horrors.

3/1/2013 11:16 PM EST

Of COURSE it was tragic for his family, but um, erh, it's not like anybody is going to miss the plant manager inspecting OUR lab.

3/4/2013 2:59 AM EST

Found a tree!!! Not such if it's ever "been hairy", though...

3/7/2013 8:57 AM EST

...then the company hired Seymour as the director of Human Resources.

3/7/2013 9:00 AM EST

Little did Peter know what the responsibilities of being 'Plant Manager' really entailed.

3/7/2013 9:01 AM EST

The cartoon contest judge should really have chosen Seymour's caption.

3/22/2013 2:25 PM EDT

And the better late than never entry is:

As badly as Carl had misunderstood his directive to use Banyan Vines, Bob was glad he hadn't told him to use the Web.
