content: If you like action movies with scientific and historic background I recommend the series on Netflix. Heisenberg is one of the main characters.

content: Quote from: mikerj on February 12, 2016, 05:27:20 pmSorry, but I couldn't resist the obvious joke. I will agree that the series is worth watching. I spotted it the other day, myself.On the topic of Heisenberg jokes, last year, I had a local Physics student tell me a good one. It seems that Heisenberg was out for a drive. He gets pulled over by a cop. The cop asks Heisenberg if he knows how fast he was going. Heisenberg replies "No officer, I don't." The cop tells him that he was doing 50 MPH in a 40 MPH zone (use Km/H if not in the US). Heisenberg responds "Damn, now I don't know where I am!"

content: I remember a short exchange from "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" by Stoppard: One is worried about the boat trip that they are taking, and is concerned that they may be dead. The other retorts "Being dead is not being on a boat.", and the first objects "I have often not been on a boat.".When I queried friends at school whose first languages were Spanish, they said that joke would not work at all in Spanish.
