This was a humorous post about a sci-fi trope (I don't know if it has a name). It went something like this...
"What did you do with the unknown life form?"
"It's suspended in a vertical tube of translucent blue liquid."
"Are there bubbles in the liquid?"
"Yeah, every couple minutes a bunch of bubbles rise to the top."
"How's the lighting?"
"Well, the lab's pretty dark, but there's a bright light shining into the tube from underneath."
"Good work."
