Here is a recent strip (6/25) from Ph.D Comics. It hits way, way, way too close to the truth.

About Me
- Mason
- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

where is this conference with lots of booze? While we are at it, your "No one can hear you scream in phase space" is a great hit at http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~fbd10/ Few Body Dynamics in Atoms, Molecules and Planetary Systems
I was just being cynical with my comment.
Glad to hear they like the shirt there! I designed a new shirt (text only): "I went to a physics conference and all I got was a lousy power law." I get mixed reactions to it. Some people think it's great, and others (like Gene Stanley) just glare at me.
The conference looks neat! I have yet to get myself to Max Planck or, for that matter, anywhere else in Germany. It's on the list. Well, visiting Germany in general is on the list, and I have a couple of invites (one academic and one social) of which I have yet to take advantage.
Meanwhile, I am off to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll be teaching a 2-week course on networks, and of course I'll be looking around China.
