Perfect, love it! The Theory of Almost Everything as opposed to the "Core Theory". Someone needs to fix the tee-shirts:

Pretty sure parity is nonconserved. Professors yang was always wrong, while his wife always right.

Ahem.
This equation does not allow for flightless waterfowl.

The opus term was dropped when it was found to be aesthetically displeasing to the string theorists because it threaten to produce testable local predictions in bloom county.

Pretty sure parity is nonconserved. Professors yang was always wrong, while his wife always right. His wife is 45 years younger. He must be doing *something* right.

Just think, Alex, in another universe (or, perhaps, another part of this one), there is another "me" and "you" who are getting invited to all the cool parities, meeting all of the hot women, etc, etc.

And then there's that infamous parallel universe where I'm fisting vorlon while Jehanne is discussing parity violation with Brett Favre. It collapsed itself into a black hole soon after, or so I've heard.
