The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 07, 2022

perfect place for the Star Trek convention’

Or those gaming conventions,too!!!

Freely extracted from Wikipedia:

Saint Ursula is a legendary Romano-British Christian saint who died on 21 October 383. Her legendary status comes from a medieval story in which she was a princess who, at the request of her father, set sail along with 11,000 virginal handmaidens to join her future husband. After setting out for Cologne, which was being besieged by Huns, all the virgins were beheaded in a massacre. The Huns’ leader fatally shot Ursula with an arrow. The Virgin Islands and the Ursulines are named in her honor [by Christopher Columbus].

So male physicists are supposed to be geeky and unable to attract women? I’ve read from multiple sources that Richard Feynman was quite the ladies man and often picked up the best-looking woman in the bar.

Is that a younger “Monty” at left? He’s still a dweeb.

“That question Cedric, is why you’re a physicist and not a gynecologist.”

GothCon is full of couples, just so you know. And one of the standing jokes about the Virgin Islands (yes, I used to live on St. Croix) is that you rarely find a virgin there.

I’m verging on an idea why.

Not anymore

I would guess natives of the state of Virginia get asked if they’re called virgins.

Howard and Lenard

Is that Poindexter with the book?

I often wondered, when you fly on VIrgin Airlines, do you have to sign an affidavit saying you are a virgin?

3 Stooges movies, playing continuously is a must!

I met my wife at a convention.

I saw Beavis and Butthead down there, too.

Anybody just hear a Big Bang too?

Welcome to Nerd’ll Beach. Clothing optional, but no one has opted out in over a decade.

Geeks pick up women to guess how much they weigh.

And they’re on Nerd Beach…

Hey, did you hear the latest news from Islamic Paradise? A recently deceased terrorist bomber arrives looking for his reward, and Mohammed leads him into a room with 71 of his predecessors and says “OK, guys, you’ve been waiting patiently to get the virgin count up to 72, and here he is. Go to it!”

At 79, I’m starting to feel that darned second law.

Is this where terrorists go when they blow themselves up?

Personally, I think thermodynamics is fascinating. So is quantum & kinetics.

Well, if there is a volcano, there will be plenty of likely candidates to sacrifice…..

What does a Star Trek convention have to do with the Virgin Islands? And nothing dealing with the “Like a Virgin” singer Madonna here?

Even funnier than the comic is how so many people take issue with the idea.

Well, that’s not it, but thanks for the laugh.
