Sorry, I try to restrain myself. But gee whiz.
No, I am afraid it is good old mostly taxpayer funded research in the land of Aus. I have never actually seen anyone play ping pong but the the BBQ sometimes gets a workout after 5pm on Fridays

Scientists used to be more fun before OH&S, risk assessments and whatnot. Putting dry ice into tiny capped tubes was always fun, then put them down other scientist's lab coats without them noticing (and then sneak away before they explode)
