we’ve always had our suspicions

A person or persons took the opportunity of Thanksgiving vacation and ran, ran, ran with it. S/he tagged a whole lot of campus with a whole lot of red spray paint. Most of the scribbling was allusions to plot and imagery from Thomas Pynchon’s  The Crying of Lot 49, a completely nutty postmodern novel. Oh, those English Lit majors; what are ya gonna do, what with the paint and the propensity for cultish thinking. But as you can see, higher thought was not at work by the time the grafittist got to the building where I work [above].

Physics is gay? Well, I don’t want to pry or anything, and I certainly wouldn’t judge physics for the lifestyle it chooses. [Between you and me, though, I always thought experimental cosmology was a bit queeny. And there’s something a little, um, off about that wacky many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.]

But physics, really: it’s okay to come out. We’ll still love you and follow your laws regardless.

    I need to add Scott’s idea for a newly-outed physics class: Gravitational Theory and Gender Identity. Haw!

    Hmmm… This guy seems to have known all along. (Possible suspect? He seems to reside in Australia. Cross him off the list.)

    bah…everyone knows that neutonian physics loves the cock. The only non man’s man geomitry out there is non-euclidean…and the only reason it doesn’t love weener is beacuase of all the tenticles, and insanity inducing horror and all that rot.

    erk…my roomate is whispering dire warnings about alchohol, comments on blogs and all that nonsense…nuts to him. I shant regret this in the morning.

    I never really questioned physics but I’ve wondered about the periodic chart with all those dainty numbers and such.

    You know, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    I think they were only saying that Physics is happy.
