The only pataphysicist I know of was Joan, but my namesake took care of her.

Light dawns on Marblehead! I have wondered for YEARS what that word was in Maxwell's Silver Hammer! Back in High School, my friend and I spent Typing class doing nothing but typing out the lyrics to Beatles songs, and we scratched our heads for hours on that lyric. I think we eventually decided it was "metaphysical", but we knew that wasn't it. I might have to look him up to let him know what pataphysical means. On a related note, is Alfred Jarry the same guy who wrote the truly bizarre play Ubu Roi?
