MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Apparently, Feynman's "likeness" is copyrighted. While I understand the concept (it is not OK to use his image to promote, say, salad dressing or a clothing line) extending it to the point of preventing his likeness from being painted for art's sake is going a little too far, IMO.

If he calls it a parody, he should be safe.  That's where the ham comes in.

You can copyright what you look like?

I'm filing for Jesus!!!

I need the money!

What's mildly humorous is that he's a biophysicist working for a patent lawfirm, reviewing genetic patent applications for viability.

I need to figure out how to copyright myself,  though. That's gonna come in handy later.

Your buddy will probably have patented your gene sequence by then, and you'll have to pay his company royalties.

Too late; I already gave my genes to Johns Hopkins in a pre-emptive strike against the coming genetic profiteers.

Maybe I should donate my likeness to charity.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
