I used Google image search to try to find the source, but didn't have a whole lot of luck. It's a great image! So much truth in it, too.
(love the article subheadings as well...)I particularly enjoyed "Epic Fail of the Year 2010". I think every long-running lab has some stories that would not, a priori, seem in the realm of the possible.

A nice one, from
@caboolture, errors mine: a certain Zoology (?) department in Australia used to keep freshwater crocs in tanks on top of the building. They'd periodically top the tanks up with a hose. One day someone got distracted, and by the time they'd turned around... -
... the tanks were overflowing, and the crocs had all gotten out. All hell breaks loose, but after some panic all the crocs are located and put back in tank. That is: all the crocs _but one_. No-one can find it, no matter where they look.
-
Eventually, they deduce that it must have somehow gotten into the gutters running into pipes running down the side of the building. A crocodile is now loose on campus. A search ensues.
-
A day or two later, the campus police get a call from a bemused tourist, to report that a crocodile is sunning itself in the campus lake. (Plenty or errors in this I'm sure, but I believe the gist is right. Science FTW!)
