“How was work today, dear?”

“It was SO exciting! We discovered that the nucleus of lead-208 is not spherical, but it is shaped like a rugby ball! Can you believe that?”

“That’s nice, dear. Have a seat. Your mashed potatoes are getting cold.”

You mean physicists don’t have it all figured out?

Well, I’ll be.

Just when physicists think they have it figured out, Lucy snatches away the football.

Medical science took until 2013 to discover this knee ligament:

Wait a minute.

Are they saying that the consensus was wrong?

I thought consensus was the gold standard of science...

Can’t get over the stunning shock of this revelation, walking aimlessly now, trying to imagine how we could be so wrong about something of this importance.

Maybe an early bourbon and fishing would clear my battered and bruised sensibilities...
