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

"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). --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 16:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC) (Retroactively signed)<br />

I agree, it's not a pun. I'm going to change that.<br />

I can't immediately think of any other rhyming comics. Are there any others? --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 16:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:At least [[206: Reno Rhymes]], [[491: Twitter]] and [[805: Paradise City]], and probably others. [[User:Pelosujamo|Pelosujamo]] ([[User talk:Pelosujamo|talk]]) 17:32, 23 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

Though the thing would have buckled before all this could even have a chance to happen [[Special:Contributions/108.162.254.71|108.162.254.71]] 16:22, 11 October 2014 (UTC)</div>108.162.254.71
