Nonsense, they both belong together … and with curry.

Edit: This delicacy was served to me some years back. I put it on my Facebook feed to upset all my Italian collaborators.

Fun fact: When pizza was first introduced in Sweden, it was typically listed under ”fish dishes” in finer restaurants as anchovies were the typical topping.

The french word for physics is la physique. So if @Greg Bernhardt was french, this would be a body building site.

Let's be honest. It's a taco that was forgotten to be folded.

Ha. Still, I like it better as the mind-building site that it is. Viva la PF.

The same holds in Swedish where both physics and physique are “fysik”. Before administration decided a university should not run a gym (nonsense, that place was probably the source of more cross-field collaboration than any seminar series) the work gym was called “förbättrad fysik” (improved physics/physique).

There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband... for example...
A wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can. Once she's done, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink. As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine. "Hi Darling" he says, "Your parents have come to visit us, so l let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say hello?

No problems there. If you look at the staff lines on the wall, it's the wrong note.

Anyone else see a stoned bear waving?

Not until you asked the question.
I think the head & snout look more like a fish though...
and a further look shows a laughing fish with your forepaw being the lower jaw.

Definitely a temperature inversion hold those flat-topped clouds down.

Arrgh, enough foolishness, back to the grind... :oldwink:

It's comforting to know I'm not the worst one. My favorite pizza is Hawaii (with pineapple).

And there was (is?) a place somewhere in the city where they had pizza with Swedish meatballs :biggrin:.

There are places where you can get a pizza with a full hamburger meal on top.

I went out with this lady, Bayesian Statistician. She had a great posterior.

The DBA I went out with, had a great front end and great back end.
