No doubles?

Easy: two can be counted on to ruin any physical experiment conducted
in their presence, whereas the remaining one would be a major asset to
have around.

Have you ever TASTED a dry Fermi?

Don't worry; it simply states that only ten Martinis can occupy the same 
stomach unless it is parallel to the floor.

Dangit!  I'm to young to be senile!

Fermi, Pauli, Martini -- what's the difference.

Although I don't know if I'd want to be in a bar that had a Martini 
exclusion principal in effect.

Errm, Pauli?

Yes, the FEP makes things firm. (;-)

Fermions, and the Fermi exclusion principal, which you validate every 
time you fail to sink through the floor.

Yes, but the unit of length approximately the diameter of the nucleus
was named after Fermi, and is abbreviated to fm.  That happens
to be 1e-15m.  Someone was lucky.

The metric prefix femto- (10^-15) is named after the Danish word 
'femten' - fifteen, not FeRmi

There is a story that L'Hopital's rule was formulated by Bernoulli,
but L'Hopital bought all Bernoulli's ideas for some period of time,
including that one.

So there is another way to get your name on a rule or law.

Fermi seems to have done pretty well, though.  An element Fermium, 
distance unit (also called the femtometer, conveniently with the same 
abbreviation), Fermi energy, Fermi momentum, Fermi velocity, and
probably more that I can't think of right now.
