Physics in the morning

I had a good laugh in the morning, thanks to Messrs Raimi and Sargent. (Location: Open-air particle physics laboratory in the heart of New York) Scientist 1: Sir! There seems to be an increased silicon mass in the de-molecularizer!! Scientist 2: It's probably just a bird, it'll fly off when the engine gets started. (Location: College physics lab) Student: What is it? Professor: (peers through microscope) Don't let any of that get on you. Student: Why? Professor: It has the characteristics of a symbiote, which needs to bond to a host in order to survive. And once it binds... it can be hard to unbind. (later) Professor: (The symbiote) enhances aggression... (view through microscope - symbiote molecule colliding violently against other nearby molecules) [the symbiote slithers towards the student, but is quickly trapped under a glass] Professor: It seems to like you.

Grandeur amidst nothingness
