A two-panel comic. Panel 1: a blond man in glasses reads a book titled "Quantum Health" and complains, "Dammit! Every time there's a scientific breakthrough, its terminology gets co-opted by idiots! If only there were a way to stop them..." Panel 2, captioned "Later...": the same man stands before an older grey-haired man who says, "We award you the Nobel Prize in Physics for your development of the...Dickballs Theory of Spacetime." The joke: to stop idiots from co-opting serious science terms, he gives his theory a name too vulgar to be co-opted. Votey aftercomic, captioned "Soon...": the man is shown reading a book now titled "Quantum Dickballs" -- his crude term got co-opted anyway.
