Now to find a physicist...

This is hilarious. It’s also an interesting read on constansts, and science in general, but this little gem buried in the article is the real gold.

Measured to be equal to 1/137.03599976, or approximately 1/137, has endowed the number 137 with a legendary status among physicists (it usually opens the combination locks on their briefcases).

Now I just need to find some physicists that I can try this out on. (via)
