Comedy by and for physics students? Yes, the comic fare of the show often betrayed the major hallmark of true physics humor: the use of obscure references in jokes that are only funny to those with personalities such that they would consider spending hundreds of hours learning about such obscurities. But a few pieces of truly context-free comic brilliance managed to shine through. The first was a running comparison of professors’ ratings on HotOrNot.com, and another was a rip-off of Saturday Night Lives’s “Celebrity Jeopardy” with well-known...
...success, even though it costs 50% more. It's a gorgeous piece of equipment that includes an internal hard drive (so it can respond at blink-of-the-eye speeds to your every command). While Microsoft offers a few child-friendly titles, including Shrek, it's the adult-oriented fare that will distinguish this machine.

Some research has suggested that after divorce, teenagers fare better with the parent of the same sex.

Noonan’s performance is also hampered by the fact that his voice, while a powerful instrument, appears largely untrained. His forced vibrato and difficulty with held notes detract from...
...Kabuli pulao (rice), Afghani tikka (barbeque meat) and Kandhari nan (bread) with a television repairman we'd picked up at Torkham. TV repair was a bad business to be in, Sardar Mohammed told me, because the Taliban had banned television. But he'd helped me negotiate two-way cab fare with Mohibullah, the driver. It was 12:30pm, a pleasant afternoon with soothing breeze. The manager had been listening to a radio, while his three teenage waiters looked bored...
