[Spider-Man 3] What kind of experiment were they doing on the sand that created Sandman and why didn't they go check on it to see the results?

Also, when he reformed he picked up his locket, why didn't the locket turn to sand or didn't he become part metal?

Oh yea, and the scientists said they heard something fall into the test, and said it could have just been a bird or something. That raises at least two questions for me. 

Why are they doing this experiment in an environment with potentially so many open variables, and if it were a bird, would their be a Sand Bird flying around?

"Huh. That's odd. The weight of the sand in the experiment is off."

"Probably just a bird."

"How about you check it's a goddamn bird before you invalidate the results of a multimillion dollar experiment?"

"Fine, fine, spoilsport... ... good god, it's a man!"

But in all seriousness, It was reaching the end of the budget year, and we were under budget. If we don't spend all our budget, they won't give us as much when the re-evaluate it because we "clearly don't need it". If we overspend, sometimes they raise the budget because it "clearly wasn't enough". So we were just dicking around to spend tons of money before the fiscal year was up.

That Ionised Particle Agitator costs a couple mil' every time we use it, so that's one good way. Dr Morbus bought a bunch of exotic pets as "test animals", and Dr Lewis even managed to convince the finance department that 2 litre bottles of cola made better human analogues than our usual "gel full of saline solution". Between those and the "high definition test monitors" we got, the break room is starting to look pretty swingin'.
