Yeah, physicists who have an interesting set of knowledge that they understand don't need powerpoint. It's designed for consultants, who justify their existence to the board.

Education and research is productive busy work.
You would rather have some eureka moments such as penicillin coming out of useless studies such as an empirical study of why sandwiches grow mould, than a person without goals.
Staying at home bored encourages miscreant self entitled people. Have a look at the book "Generation F" and look at what's happened in England with third generation unemployed living on welfare.
Hmmm, let's see. Several tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars of floating kit, carrying possibly just as much value in cargo, int he middle of nowhere, with no-one in sight, just a video camera. Hmmm.
Will the pirates at least wave and say thank you to the crew when they take manual control of the ship? How about just looting a few cargo containers as it's travelling along?
Yes, but this was their contingency plan portfolio at the time:
1. Spend 12 weeks to prep Atlantis at which time the larger astronauts would have begun eating the smallar astronauts. (Proven in animal testing)
2. Request $5b in DARPA funding to develop and deploy a space elevator to retrieve astronauts in 5 years. (Plus project delays, see problem with contingency #1)
3. Bruce Willis, a long rope, and a toothpick.
4. Buy Uncle Murphy a case of Guinness, pray to several gods, and try to land the sucker anyway. (AKA: The ostrich risk assessment technique).
Problem is that plastic's extremely porous and fragile until it gets to its actual destination. And since the Elevator is effectively always in transit....
I believe the plastic in question is the kind of plastic that semi-permanently entombs your purchase in a chrysalis so touch that you need a diamond tipped super electro buzzsaw or a weapons grade baloneyum industrial laser to burn through it.
I suspect it would be more like sim city's microwave receivers. A few buildings getting a little glow in the dark is hardly an Alderaan. Leave that one to the Chinese!
Do you see what happens when you let theoretical physicists hang around with the chemistry majors? Smoking crack and watching the matrix does not make for scientific advancement, nosiree.
When you approach the business and say that a zombie network is DDossing the website with a Reflection attack, and that's why no-one can access the website.

Here's a better idea Mr. Greenspam. How about we make your pay equal to everybody elses? (My insulting consulting invoice is issued by the way)
You obviously don't know about the concept of closure, or care enough about someone else to care about it.

I dunno. I'm always screwed when I fire up powerpoint.
Pleased to be flying in for 60% of time. Pleased to revert resume to HR for you sir.
Not to worry. Move to Oklahoma, and just put a hose from your kitchen tap to your gas tank.

So an Anaconda crashed into an asteroid and blew it up. He had insurance.
I'll try. Supersymmetry predicted the existence of subatomic particles which the LHC would detect. The LHC hasn't detected them.
Bazinga.
Yeah, they overheard the idea when Mrs. Smith called Mrs. Brown last week and were discussing some "additional charges" on their phone bill.
Can we get a car analogy please?
Come on now, we all know it's really caused by aliens using their cell phones. Geez.

Dear Houston,
Need bread and milk.

More like tying flies. 95% of time tying em. 5% of the time losing em.

This topic is about fracking wells, not being well fracked.
Man, I don't want soda, I want brawno! Because it contains electrolytes!
And they doused the fire with water? Like, from the toilet?
Where unicorns poop rainbows.
