The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 04, 2018

Alpha, rho, rho, rho, your boat.

You Beta watch out, Santa Claus is coming to town!

Send the Delta force after that reindeer!

Omegawd, that’s bad.

It looks like Rudolph Lambda right on him and Dancer made Pi out of him. But Santa said to just mu along.

Gamma was delta bad hand.

Oh phi!

I nu I was getting here too late.

I tau all those epsilon comments…

great work!

Psi…..

Brilliant!

You guys are awful! I love it!

All Greek to me.

Gamma was sleighed by a Greek bearing gifts.

UGH!!!! Pun overload!!!

It’s all Greek to me!

Most of western civilization hasn’t used Greek for several thousand years, but we still understand the letters of the Greek alphabet well enuf to use them for jokes, poetry, and proverbs. That’s the way it should be with pints, pounds, inches, miles, ounces (both kinds), yards, furlongs, etc. after we finally join the rest of the world (the rational part) in using the metric system.

We’ll still be able to say “penny wise and pound foolish” (even tho we haven’t used the pound as a unit of money in the US for a quarter of a millennium) and people will know what we mean. Same with “A miss is as good as a mile” or “A pint’s a pound the world around” (reasonable approximation but nowhere nearly as precise as “A litre’s a kilogram everywhere”).

Well, golly. If this isn’t the all time champion low hanging fruit pun prone strip of all time…

@ScottHilburn Nicely played!

like leading a lambda the slaughter

One of my faves!

Almost funny. Keep at it.

A real Greek tragedy…

Stephen Pastis is sooo jealous right now.

Not exactly a fraternal moment.

I give an “A” for creativity!

Phi on you!

OMG, it’s the crime scene from today’s “The Flying McCoys”!

so now they are all going out for Pi?

Sounds like Greek to me!

LoL sciencepost.org

It’s all just psi-phi!

Mu along, nothing to xi here…

Pastis is still King of the Puns.

I think Pastis and Hilburn must be frat brothers.

he’s so sigma bro

SIGMA!!!
