    Astrophysicist gets magnets stuck up nose while inventing coronavirus device | The Guardian[^] How terrible that someone from the genius profession should have suffered such an embarrassment while implementing such a genius-level idea, for a device that everyone obviously wants and needs. It obviously would have made him a multi-billionaire, if it weren't such a bleeding stupid idea for mistakes made by the people who designed the parts he was using. I mean, who wants working wristwatches, phones, keyboards, laptops, etc, when you can have brilliantly ideated and designed electromagnets on your wrists, instead of all that useless cr@p? I hope that one day I grow to be as clever as astrogonomicalists and astrogophysicists.

      Haven't you heard that insulting the retarded differently-abled is non-PC, and may subject you to twitter-storms by twits SJWs? SJW does not mean Single Jewish Woman...

          If the soapbox still existed I'd suggest he tries inventing a device to stopping him touching something else ... :laugh:

            It's funny how people don't see the easiest solution. A simple surgical mask is extremely efficient at stopping you from picking your nose. :rolleyes: And while they're fairly inefficient at stopping airborne infections from entering you, they are quite efficient at stopping droplet infections from leaving you.

              I was once an astrophysicist and even though I recovered I find your comments are astrophysicistist. It may be a funny joke to you but to those who are astrophysicists it is no laughing matter I assure you. What an Astrophysicist does in the privacy of their own home, or even outside it for that matter (though not right now unless as part of their official one hour of exercise or visit to the shops), should be respected. :~ For the record, technically I was a cosmologist I did of course do astrophysics at University as part of that but astrophysics is really, really boring, not as boring as astronomy mind you (it is mind numbing). Cosmology is the sexy option, so I took it. Sadly no-one wants a graduate cosmologist, they insist on you messing about in a monotone voice with telescopes first, so I ended up in IT. Hurrah!!!

                I confess to having the occasional pop at scientist on my work message board. Particularly when they make up stuff (like bubbles in space) to explain why other stuff they made up (the Hubble Constant) doesn't work! If it had been April 1, the Bubble/Hubble 'coincidence' might have throw doubt on the article! :wtf: So, I suggested they do something useful - like find a cure for coronavirus, or solve the 'loo roll crisis'. I'd like to take that back. They need to stick with their day jobs, where they can do less harm! :)

                  I suppose he is the living proof that a theoretical high IQ doesn't really mean to have plain common sense.

                  M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                      It's all made-up stuff! Black holes, exoplanets, dark energy, the lot! Dark matter is real enough, but they only called it that to grab attention, headlines, and grant money. Its correct name is "low-mass, non-reflective particles".

                        Damned straight!  Some people deserve "isms" -- terrorists, murderers, molecular gastronomists, and anyone whose job title begins with "astro"!

                        It's what they do for a living that bothers me.  I hate it when people just play with numbers and high-tech toys and call themselves scientists.

                          I can't get that into my missus' head.  From day one I've been telling her that, unless you also wear goggles, masks are only useful if you've got the virus. She's right, of course, because if I disagree with her, I'm always wrong.

                              A magnet up his nose. Are we sure he wasn’t just trying to make himself more attractive?

                              If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
