"pipetman" dispensing pipettes in bio/biochem labs--so easy to get the right amount in, or out... no one would consider manually pipetting, so the risk of a mouth pipettor (ugh!!!) is eliminated...researchers don't use it because it's safer, but that's why I like it!

Thanks for your examples. This one reminds me of Westheimer's Discovery:
Why spend a day in the library when you can learn the same thing by working in the laboratory for a month?

In my experience, there are a lot EHS situations this applies to as well...
