My retirement plan is to start a syncretistic tithing religion. When I free up a little more time I'll get to work on the book for it. I think there are tax breaks.

Gleefully by the head of Physics and the head of Religious Studies. They chuckled for ages. I just wanted to graduate.

Yes, also very much agree, and sorry if you thought I was being particularly serious. Just flying the flag for chemists. Can I also point out that my paper in Phenomenology of Religion was gleefully cross credited as a Physics paper to allow me to graduate BSc, so I'm good with origin stories?

Well, in order: - The physics has been done but the engineering is proving tricky (www.openstar.tech) - Chemistry (although I fell out with inorganic chemistry in 1980) - Deeply, deeply, interesting but I'm not sure how the information would change my life

“If we tax our wealthiest, they’ll leave New Zealand” Good. They barely pay tax anyway. They’re a drain on society. And the only country with lower taxes in the OECD is Chile. So get practising your Spanish, Gringos.

Well, nothing very new has happened in physics for a while and there isn't a maths prize so why not?

However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more’s the pity.
