My uncle is a physicist, since my mom is his sister, would that make her a physicister?

And since she is also a physicist, would she then be a physicisterist?

My physics teacher always said that physicists do their shopping from the same catalog that features the Acme products used in the Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

"Let's see...the school year is about to start...I'll take a box of massless, frictionless spheres...a cubic yard of ideal monatomic gas...and three infinite conducting planes. Better throw in a bag of point charges too...the size 3 ones, please."

But then she might need a physic.

Babe, is your Argand diagram purely imaginary, or are you just happy to see me? Nudge nudge, wink wink.

I don't know, but that would make you a son of a physicisterist for sure.

Don't forget to throw in some [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow[/url].

I think I've stumbled across it a few times in the last couple of days.
