It just so happens that today is the day I have an appointment to talk with my division chair about my future plans, after 26 years at my university. Today is also April First. I have an opportunity for a cruel joke.
Nah, that’s too mean. I’m still planning to retire.
My late brother used to send me “Pearls Before Swine” comics — I think it was his favorite strip. I know he would have sent me this one.
Mano’s a big fan. (Don’t worry, you won’t catch physicist cooties. X-D )
I love the cartoons by Pastis. Even the non-Pearl ones (Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made). The cynical character Rat is my favourite.
The Swedish lefty blogger Aardvarchaeology also likes puns, so I try to pass on links.
BTW If I had known, I would have bombarded PZ with the albums (for further use by his students, or the local library).
