[Tony Hawk and Cueball are talking. Tony Hawk is holding his skateboard. An image, above the heads of Tony Hawk and Cueball, depicts Tony Hawk doing two 360-degree turns on a skateboard]

Tony Hawk: Something weird I've noticed is that if I do a 360 ollie, I land backward. I have to do a 720 to land going forward.

Caption: Tony Hawk discovers that he's a spin-½ fermion.
