Seven scantily-clad women decorate the walls of my bedroom. My common room is adorned with posters of Marilyn Monroe and that paramour of the brewing industry, the St. Pauli Girl. By the standards of modern feminism, I am thereby guilty of a most terrible crime. I objectify women. Because I commit my transgression in the privacy of my home it goes unnoticed, unavailable for the political critique of others.

The neutrino would neatly explain a tiny energy imbalance in certain nuclear reactions, but it would also be so ethereal that the average neutrino could zip through a trillion-mile-thick chunk of lead without hitting a single atom. Since the particles would presumably sail undetected through any measuring device, Pauli lamented, his clever idea could never be proved correct...
...Never" turned out to be in around 25 years. It was in the mid-1950s that Frederick Reines and the late Clyde Cowan, then at Los Alamos, set out to find Pauli's impossible particle--the research that earned Reines, now at the University of California at Irvine, half of this year's prize.

Strutting about the stage, he makes great strides to assert his masculinity, making fun of "faggot beer" while defending the presence of the woman on the St. Pauli Girl bottle with the clever retort, "Yeah, but she's a whore." As the plot thickens and Peter is able to coerce him into sex, he reluctantly begins to admit that he enjoys it, and his faltering machismo is the source of much laughter...
