The quirks of being a scientist

So every scientist, no matter what field of science you are in, knows jokes that you and your colleagues get and everyone else on the planet looks at you like you should be committed to an asylum. My personal favorites are the ones that rip on chemists, engineers and mathematicians, but then again I'm a physicist and tend to be an elitist (read elitist as ... well I guess I shouldn't type that but you get the idea) due to that fact. But every group has their own little quirks and the NSCL is no different.
Today is Halloween and here at the NSCL we were having some difficulties getting participation in dressing up for the day. So one of our students came up with the brilliant idea of dressing up as our advisers. This brought participation up from something like 2 to something like 6. Some advisers are difficult to really give a style definition to but some of us have advisers that are easily recognizable. Mine is one of those advisers. There should be pictures up later. We're going to try to get pictures of us with our advisers today. What is almost depressing is that he didn't notice this morning at the group meeting.
Oh well back to the quirks of physics.
