Ultimate QFT humour

[Mordred]

So here Is was deeply immersed in studying a dissertation on CKM mixing angles with regards to Higgs and electroweak symmetry breaking. Going through the unitary triangle etc when I come across a technical term I couldn't believe.

 I almost thought the author had gone batty until I dug deeper.

"The Feymann Penguin diagrams"

Literally it is the one loop diagrams I have worked with and seen in dozens of technical literature however this was the first time I had ever seen them referred to as penguin diagrams.

I nearly pissed myself laughing so hard.

I've heard that lore. Probably as famous: the Alpher, Bethe, Gamow paper, where Bethe's name was added just so it would sound like the letters of the greek alphabet.
