.@ScienceTip @KBSpangler You can observe the velociraptor, or the positioniraptor, but not both.

Chekov's Gun, Occam's Razor, and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle walk into a bar. You won't believe what happens next!

The grass is always greener on the other side of the Hue/Saturation dialog. Also, yellower, orange-er, and magenta-er.

Q: What is the difference between a Quantum Theorist and a Beauty
Therapist?
A: The Quantum Theorist uses Planck's Constant as a foundation,
whereas the Beauty Therapist uses Max Factor.
I believe in the heat death of the Universe.
I'm a Kelvinist.
I had a magnetic
sign on my car saying REPEAL OHM'S LAW with my phone number. As a result I
received a number of interesting calls. One was from a physics professor at
UCLA. He said he was all in favor of repealing Ohm's Law, but requested
that I wait until the end of the quarter so he wouldn't have to rewrite his
lecture notes.
Allan wrote that he was "on the committee to revoke Ohm's Law". Let me
guess: Ohm's Law: is that the one about sitting crosslegged and chanting
"Ohm! Ohm! Ohm!" ? Watt is Ohm's law and who volted it into existence? Has
it met with any resistance in its application? Please respond quickly
because my hair is on end and my emotional life has become static while
awaiting an answer. Gus Seligmann
Ohm's Law was good enough in its time, but that time is past. It is a
rankly discriminatory piece of legislation and should be repealed or
severely amended. Current should be directly proportional to BOTH voltage
and resistance, or inversely proportional to both, or proportional to
neither.
