Marty: What are you going to name them?
Me: Well, since you've never had cats before, I figure you get the honors.
Marty: Hmmm....
Three Weeks Later, after Much Deliberation
Marty: I've narrowed it down to two options. Want to hear them and help me decide?
Me: Sure!
Marty: So, it's either Lepton and Tachyon...or Joule and Fermi. What do you think?
Me: Uhhh....can you wait here a minute?
(runs to bathroom, closes door, begins shrieking)
Marty: Uhm, sweetie? Is that a vote for Lepton and Tachyon, then?
Me: (yells from bathroom) I REFUSE to have a cat whose nickname is TACKY!

Meet Faraday and Maxwell. Yeah, they're named after famous physicists.
Hey, better than particles.
#whosaysicantcompromise
So about that original set of names?
According to Wikipedia (which is, you know, always right and all)
a Lepton is involved in Beta Decay. Or something.
And, surprising no one, a Tachyon is a faster than light particle. Beats the heck out of me what the animated gif is showing, but hey, #prettycolors.
Oh, and...
#yeahitreallyhappened !!

yes, but the chances of running into another cat on the internet named Tachyon and Lepton would be infinitesimal
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you went with Maxwell & Faraday
ReplyDelete"Leapt on" certainly describes what cats do, but I agree with the final choices. I would be glad he didn't suggest "Schrödinger."

ReplyDeleteIf he went with Schrodinger the cat would never die now would it? I have one named Stinky - that is far worse than Tacky.
