The litany of ridiculous memes continues. This one was I saw at Faraday's cage is where you put Schroedinger's cat . OK, now, I can understand all the nerdy stuff; I am not particularly keen on biophysics, nuclear physics, astrometry (what the heck is it anyway) or parasitology, nor are they listed among my interests, but hey, I can see how all of these -ologies would come out.
