I know this will sound like BS, but I know a woman who, when she is having her period, can walk by electrical devices and mess them up in various ways: copy machines spontaneously spit out paper, ECGs lock up and require a reboot, DNA sequencers start spitting out infinite ATGC...ATGC... sequences.
Weird. REALLY weird.
There are a lot of very skeptical scientists who work with her who will scream "NO NO NO GET OUT!" if she approaches during a critical sequencing run.
No one has suggested she leave -- she's brilliant. And smokin' hot.
