And I thought I was a geek

I grew up with a cat named Mu. Yeah, the Greek letter.

Her predecessor was named Pi "because he was irrational" (or so said my dad when anyone asked).

This composer named a cat Lepton.

Hat tip to albadger, along with my apologies for reposting this link since it does indeed still discuss the possibility of making that opera.

Another slight wrinkle in the plans

I was informed last night in no uncertain terms that if I become a veterinarian, in fact beginning from the moment I become a veterinary student, I am not to come home and discuss "What I Did Today" with rfrench. He doesn't even want to hear a highly-edited-and-sanitized verbal description of a picture in that sports medicine book.

*big dramatic sigh*

[In the spirit of full disclosure I must admit I keep looking at some of those photos in an attempt to wear down my OH NO ICK YIKES reaction.]
