fellow convivial sentients,

in homage to those who have fought against the herd's calls of 'you're wrong', 'don't do that', 'that's silly'

"Swearing can actually increase pain tolerance" -- this study won an Ig-Nobel

Physicist Andre Geim has both a Nobel & an Ig-Nobel, both for fighting the herd -- the Nobel for discovering graphene (a marvelous, science fictional substance that is easy to make) and for levitating a frog with magnetism.

He also was able to levitate water droplets.

``the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people full of doubts.``
