The Pysicists Three

I love The Onion. It's been far too long since I last read it. The first thing I thought when I read This Article, on physicists successfully splitting the bill, was, "hey, that sounds like the sort of conversation my brothers and I would have." And I'm sure that if we knew all that physics jargon, we probably would.

The article writer has obviously read Doublas Adams. Excellent!

Amusingly, I'm just now reading Hitchhiker's for the very first time and, as I'm sure anyone who knows me would have already concluded, it is precisely the sort of absurd humor that hits my soft spot.

Given the kind of humor and interests you have, I'm actually shocked that you hadn't already read it.

When you get to the description of the Bistromathic Drive, you will surely see the inspiration for this article. ;)

It's been a long time coming. Hitchhikers' was one of those (many) books I've always meant to read, but never when I was actually in store looking for books to buy.
