Tales from the ArXiv: Sleeping Well with Quantum Mechanics

When writing a paper in the field of psychoceramics, it becomes conceivable to end one's conclusions with the sentence "What is sure is that the author, with his new HAT, sleeps much better now!"

(Actually, I ought to find a way to have that kind of conclusion in one of my papers---or at least to find a way to sleep better!)

Jewish Wazzup Commericial

This video is supposedly a banned Budweiser 'Wazzup' commericial. It has a Jewish theme, and I think it's pretty damned funny. (Note: Some people thought that entire thread of commercials was really stupid, and the first few commercials in it were. But then it started getting incredibly self-referential, so that later commercials in the series became pretty bloody funny. Being amused by this video is probably predicated on knowing the thread.)

(Tip of the cap to my cousin Leydah Evers.)

All the Quotes You Ever Wanted

Courtesy a link Ken Kharma posted on Facebook, here is an "amusing" website called The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks that collects "pictures" of signs with "head-scratching" quotation marks. It's not as cool as Sad Guys on Trading Floors, but some of the pictures are pretty damned funny.
