I just wanted to point out that there were no astrophysicists or physicists mentioned in that article. Only astronomers and geologists. As a physicist, I don't want to be associated with those twinks who spend all night looking at the sky or those freaks who study rocks all day.

"People don't like things like geographics or meteorology, and that's not only because they stand on one and are soaked by the other. Such phenomenons don't have much to do with true science* in their opinions. But geographics is nothing more than slower physics with some trees on it and meteorology is full of exciting fancy chaos and complexity. Summer actually is no time but more a location. Summer is a mobile creature and loves overwintering in the south.

*True Science can equip something with three extra legs and then make it explode."

- Terry Pratchett, "Feet of Clay"

Sorry, I couldn't resist. That was just fitting in so nicely, I thought...
