Do A Search On "Physics" and "Physicist"

.. which, btw, is almost the title of this physics blog! :)

Chad Orzel must have been bored when he decided to do a search on the words "physics" and then "physicist". Hilarity ensues.

I'm not surprised that some of these search engines confuse "physicist" and "physician", since many people think people who work in physics are "physician". But a few of those stock photos that he found from Shutterstock are just hilarious. Of course, stereotype abounds, but some of these are so far out in left field, they are hardly relevant.

I guess, subconsciously, this was partly the reason why I did that superficial poll on the most attractive male and female physicist a while back. We all don't look like Albert Einstein, even for our women physicists!

Zz.
