Physicists at Krackinbrein University in Polend, have discovered evidence of photon “dandruff”, which they say indicates that photons may have “hair”.

 

Photons have long been believed to be completely hairless, but the new research could untangle some of the mysterious properties of these very small bits of matter and/or energy ("or something like that", the researchers say).

 

The scientists are eagerly awaiting the results of new experiments, and have said they expect to find different “styles” of photon's hair. There is eager anticipation of the photon “mullet”, the “Swayze”, the “Jong-Il”; some expect to find bald photons after all: this is (the scientists say) because they have lost their hair --possibly photon hairpieces will be discovered too, but the researchers are keeping quiet about this exciting potential-- and, of course, the “Elvis”...

Even more compelling for researchers in this field is the reasoning which concludes that photon dandruff implies photon fungus.

I think you are overdoing the metaphors.

 

This is why scientists should only agree to be talk to a journalist if they get to review what the journalist will write about their theory.

 

Either that, or you are pulling our leg.

Head and Shoulders, Knees and Photon, Knees and Photon....

We need photon waxing (anyone seen a Brazilian photon?).

you are pulling our leg

Come on, would I do that to you guys? This is fair dinkum, cobber...

Your grandma's mustache.

Wave packets, anyone?

The vacuum response is not nothing. Quite the opposite.

The photons coming out of my computer screen have mustaches

Yes, depending on <Out of the inhomogeneous closet!> your eyesight and imagination, babe. To me it is a matter of Maxwell's equations allowed to express what might be properties of the vacuum.
