Facebook Status messages – Physics Edition.

Yes, I am a statustician… once a day, I have to think about something witty, funny or mundane thing to say about whats happening around me… yes, I can manage that! I take special delight in coming up with esoteric ones.

Here are a few that are physics related. Many of these will require a google/wikipedia search or Arxiv archive search, but thats the fun part of it.

.. is inventing “Oil of Olay DM”, made entirely out of dark matter, to smooth out the wrinkles in space time.

is modifying general relativity.

is redshifted by 2.2; you figure out how far I am.

has a radio halo.

is going through a quantum phase transition.

is a perfect hologram.

is experiencing Lorentz contraction.

is time herding.

is doing aperiodic tiling of his bathroom floor.

is trying to reduce his Erdos Number.

is looking for some nano-blackhole cream to patch up a naked singularity.

and here is a non-physics related funny one:

I just change the name of my ipod to “the titanic” so whenever I plug it in to my computer it says “the titanic is syncing”.

Have a really tough problem? Call a physicist to solve it.

dilbert_physicist

This Dilbert cartoon really hits home, because I am both a physicist and an attorney!

So anybody want to incorporate in another universe? Want to buy some real estate in another dimension? Want to find a loophole using a worm-hole, I can help you with that! Trust me, I wrote a book about it.

I would have expected a cartoon like this from XKCD, not from Dilbert!

Physics LOLcats

physics_lolcat

A lolcat is an image combining a photograph, most frequently of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often) broken English—a dialect which is known as “lolspeak”.

Physics isn’t immune to LOLcats either.
