    Tattoos and Piercings in academia and beyond

    There's a book by Carl Zimmer titled "Science Ink" that goes into detail about scientists that have tattoos, or people who are aspiring to be scientists. It isn't worth the price (It's hardcover with fancy writing which means $$$), but if you get a chance to look through it, there are some...

    Late Dennis Ritchie: Creator of C Programming Language

    This is a real shame. As well, I might add, it is completely and utterly appalling to read about everyone suddenly cursing Steve Jobs and his death. Not on this forum which I'm glad to see.

    The best physics conversation you've had with a novice

    My Lobotomy: A 23-Minute NPR Radio Piece on Howard Dully

    Probably not. Did you see the bit about "Freeman like to show off, sometimes doing a double handed icepick procedure" ? Honestly, it's horrible.

    What Kind of Citrus Fruit is This?

    I have no idea, Danago. I thought I'd do a quick google search for wrinkly pears, but having the search filter on "Do filter my search results" only managed to scar me. A guy I know said they might be some form of Etrog. :smile:

    What makes physics so fascinating and appealing?

    I don't like it because I'm childish and hate getting answers wrong. Aside from that, I really love the concepts. Very interesting school of thought involved with physics.
