Universities hate physics departments because they always want to spend money on oscilloscopes or particle accelerators or something. They prefer maths departments because they only need paper, pencils and a bin. And they love philosophy departments because they don't need the bin.

And they love philosophy departments because they don't need the bin.

You mean the department of theoretical physics!

A young experimentalist runs up to a distinguished professor.

"Professor! We've finished the experiment and A is directly proportional to B!"

The professor nods sagely.

"Ah!" says the professor. "That is easy to explain. A is directly proportional to B because..." But he's interrupted by the experimentalist.

"I'm sorry Professor, I mis-spoke. A is inversely proportional to B."

"Ah!" says the professor. "That is even easier to explain!"

Where I was (Biology Departments) they liked us because most had grants and they got about 50% overhead on the amount of the grants.

There is another four letter word I really miss in other languages: "doch". The Hungarians say "de igen" (but, yes) and in English it would probably be "oh yes." It stands for "I contradict what you have said and restate what I have said." What an effort if only four letters would do: doch! "Yes" alone doesn't transport enough contradiction.

" 'Doch' and 'though' are cognates, right?"

"No, they aren't!"

"They are, though!"

"My wife's gone to Indonesia."​

"Jakarta?"​

"My wife’s also been to Oslo."​

"Norway?"​

"Yes, way!"​

Because he hasn't done a proper statistical analysis. Gold shirts have low absolute casualties, but a much higher mortality rate than red shirts.

We know, there's something about a man in Gold uniform.

Yeah. Some guy went through every ep and counted. Statistically, it is much more lethal to be a gold shirt than a red shirt.
