Does anyone know the tensile vs. shear strength of nanotubes? Djbrasier ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 20:33, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

"but it can be cut with a simple pair of pruning shears (also a pun on shear strength)" - I don't know the precise etymology of the word shears, but I would assume they are called such precisely because they operate on a shearing principle. While it is fair to assume that the use of the words 'pruning shears' is intentional (rather than 'scissors' or similar) , I wouldn't call it a pun (exploiting multiple meanings of words). --Pudder (talk) 16:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC) (Retroactively signed)

I agree, it's not a pun. I'm going to change that. Spiral phi (talk) 19:32, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I can't immediately think of any other rhyming comics. Are there any others? --Pudder (talk) 16:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

At least 206: Reno Rhymes, 491: Twitter and 805: Paradise City, and probably others. Pelosujamo (talk) 17:32, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
