Not wanting to let Sean get away with the only marshmallow-related post this year, I'd like to bring to your attention that, for the fifth year running, the Washington Post recently held its Peeps Diorama Contest. This would be a pretty strange topic to cover on this blog were it not for the fact that one of the entries was the wonderful ATLAS Peeped!

For example, please note the textbooks in the following (click on the photo for a full-size version)
I really hope Michael Peepskin is reading this. As a theorist, I can't help but leave you with a detail with equations
