Good one - although she may be a bit late. I recall an occasion when a grad student was asked by my (then) colleague, "what is the wavelength of visible light" during a Ph D viva-voce and the student bristled with indignity and said something which really meant "do you realize I am a string theorist?"

Looks like Feynman's book "The Character of Physical Law" should be recommended reading in the Physics departments. The lectures are now on YouTube as well.
