Dear friends,
Thanks to
all who responded! This "survey" highlighted the serious
problem - there are only few places on the Web where one can find
NMR-related humor, and even less places with NMR-related cartoons. It
seems that since the famous 1991 ENC the cartoonists largely ignored the
field of NMR... Shame... Somebody urgently needs to stop running spectra
and start drawing!
Below are listed the sources of information on the Web (be warned - you
may find that the quality of the humor/jokes varies a lot, and may be not
to everybody's taste!):
http://kunmr7.chem.ku.edu/400walls.html - the old famous
GE 1991 ENC pictures (including the classical picture with the tilted
heads)
http://www.nearingzero.net
-
cartoons related to all aspects of our lives, including science.
http://nmr.ioc.ac.ru/Staff/AnanikovVP/nmr-misc/nmr-misc.htm
- NMR-related jokes
http://freon.ucsc.edu/nmrmax.html - NMR related humor
http://www.reactivereports.com/humor/2.html - NMR related
humor
Also the hint: "Concepts in Magnetic Resonance" has published a
number of cool/interesting cartoons over the years.
That's it, apparently...
Best regards,
Sasha

Original message:
Life is not only repairing hardware/software and fighting with shimming -
does anybody have any funny NMR-related cartoons, pictures, etc? These
sort of things would be very useful for entertaining students and
publicizing NMR (obviously, with the proper acknowledgement of their
authors and source). Surprisingly, not much can be found on the Internet
by simple search... But NMR cannot be that dull!
If anybody have such pictures (or simply NMR-related humor), and want to
share them, I can create a Summary containing links to these Web sites or
pictures. Alternatively, may be somebody has a suitable web-site where
these pictures, cartoons, etc, may be collected and made available to the
community (ammrl site?)
Have fun, and best regards,
Sasha
