A Party of Famous Physicists

* attenzione, umorismo da fisici * warning, physicists humor ahead *

One day, all of the world's famous physicists decided to get together for a tea luncheon. Fortunately, the doorman was a grad student, and able to observe some of the guests...

* Everyone gravitated toward Newton, but he just kept moving around at a constant velocity and showed no reaction.

* Einstein thought it was a relatively good time.

* Coulomb got a real charge out of the whole thing.

* Cavendish wasn't invited, but he had the balls to show up anyway.

* Cauchy, being the only mathematician there, still managed to integrate well with everyone.

* Thompson enjoyed the plum pudding.

* Pauli came late, but was mostly excluded from things, so he split.

* Pascal was under too much pressure to enjoy himself.

* Ohm spent most of the time resisting Ampere's opinions on current events.

* Hamilton went to the buffet tables exactly once.

* Volt thought the social had a lot of potential.

* Hilbert was pretty spaced out for most of it.

* Heisenberg may or may not have been there.

* The Curies were there and just glowed the whole time.

* van der Waals forced himeself to mingle.

* Wien radiated a colourful personality.

* Millikan dropped his Italian oil dressing.

* de Broglie mostly just stood in the corner and waved.

* Hollerith liked the hole idea.

* Stefan and Boltzman got into some hot debates.

* Everyone was attracted to Tesla's magnetic personality.

* Compton was a little scatter-brained at times.

* Bohr ate too much and got atomic ache.

* Watt turned out to be a powerful speaker.

* Hertz went back to the buffet table several times a minute.

* Faraday had quite a capacity for food.

* Oppenheimer got bombed.
