A Dim View of Physicists
the young man noted that
physicists used to be manly men,
scaling high mountains, seducing
beautiful women, writing prize-winning
novels in their spare time.
Now, they all have Asperger’s Syndrome,
sport well-worn Docker’s with pizza stains
in the crotch area,
and shuffle in and out of
their laboratories, heads down,
blowing their noses into dirty
handkerchiefs.

The portrait above is of Michael Faraday, who was a famous physicst and chemist. He was also a very early environmentalist and refused to work on projects for any war activity. He died in 1867 and is quite a dapper chap, don't you think?
