Physics
Hi. I thought you might enjoy these Heroe!(talk) (contribs) Random Page! 23:31, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
- Thanks for those! One of those is a classis and really funny considering I'm currently switching from condensed matter theory to maybe high energy experimental... Alex 00:37, 23 May 2007 (EDT)
A young physicist, upon learning that he was denied tenure after six productive years at a University in San Francisco, requested a meeting with the Provost for an explanation. At the meeting, the Provost told the young physicist, "I'm sorry to tell you that the needs of the University have shifted during the past six years leading up to your tenure decision. In fact, what we now require is a female, condensed-matter experimentalist. Unfortunately, you are a male, high-energy theorist!"
Dejected but not defeated, the young physicist thought for a moment about the implications of the Provost's words.
"Sir," he said, "I would be willing to convert in two of the three categories you mentioned, but ... I'll never agree to become an experimentalist!"
The Nakamuras
I don't feel like there is a need to put the last name first for the Nakamuras. All you're doing is rearranging the order of two words. Since the Nakamuras are Japanese, logic automatically says that they are addressed last name before first name (in Japanese, not English). In English, they are addressed first name before last name. It really isn't unnecessary. Do you have a better reason?--Ice Vision 16:53, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
I guess it's a good idea to add the "formal name" in the character box (with the surname first, as you suggested). However, there really isn't a need to add it anywhere else in the article. If you would like, you could add it to the notes or trivia, that would fit nicely, but other areas don't need it. Thanks.
