Now on ScienceBlogs: How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is a Real Book!
Theoretical Musings
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Fantastic! The acting is not quite as bad as the actual Da Vinci Code movie.

LOL, that's great! I think I've just found material for "The Lighter Side" in the next Quantum Times...

The best line:
"Persistent, but stupid...you should have been a physicist, Bob.

How did I not know about this? The pub scene was filmed on the street that I live on.
