According to Boing Boing, two homeless men got in a brawl over quantum physics, which ended with a skateboard to the face:
At the time, Fava was chatting with an acquaintance, who is also homeless, about "quantum physics and the splitting of atoms," according to prosecutors. Keller joined in the conversation and, for reasons unknown, got upset, authorities said. He picked up his skateboard and hit Fava in the face with it, splitting his lip, prosecutors said.
Of course he did. The moral: don't (en)tangle with a homeless physicist!

This Veterans’ Day, it will be a cold night in most parts of the country, and especially cold for the homeless. On any given night in the US, more than 578,000 children and adults are homeless, including 31 percent who were not in shelters. Homelessness among military veterans is troubling.
According to a new national study using data collected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there are somewhere between 444,000 and 842,000 homeless people in America.
In the midst of all of the discussion about improving healthcare, one issue that has been neglected is the role of poverty in poor healthcare outcomes. One group that is hit particularly hard is the homeless.
Here's a thought for "Veterans" Day: one out of nine people in the US is a veteran but one out of four homeless persons is a veteran. That's something for Americans to be proud of for sure.

"Bell's theorem and the Death of Locality" was posted as comment, (crgreeley 6/24/2009 11:06:12 AM) and Boing Boing spread the meme. Probably a farm boy.
oops forgot the link.
Wow, the real life version of The Big Bang Theory's "Physicists Gone Wild"!

Hey! Are you ripping on Stanford with your comment, onkel bob?
If so, that's quite all right with me, I went to Berkeley. ;)
lol!
I can picture it now 2 homeless physicists riding around on a skateboard!
