My other half and I are both working from home today. I'm revising the first draft of a paper that I'm working on, and he's doing remote network engineering. Last time I sat down with this paper, I realized that, if I plotted my data in a certain way, I would be able to see whether it really did match my model for what's going on. I looked at it again today, and yes, it really is the perfect way to make the argument.
I was so pleased that I needed to share it. So I showed it to my husband. And then I tried to explain what I was modeling. After several versions of the explanation, he had a suggestion for improvement:
The graphs would be better if I used little pirate symbols on my graph.
Husbands. What would a woman scientist do without one?

Nah, I gotta go with Ninjas on this one.
But did you calculate the arrrrrrr2 for the fit?
OK, in preview that superscript came out fine...
Obviously he is responding to this
Your husband is clearly a genius, and a religious fanatic.
Pirate symbols send a clear message to the audience: Arrr, ye scurvy dogs n saucy wenches, the science behind this graph be impeccable, ye savvy?
