Fun with the AJDI Archive (IV)

To help you do this, we are posting a series of AJDIs like this one, with suggestions for search keywords. Earlier ones can be found by clicking (I) or (II) or (III). Actually, you might contribute to this series by sending us (combinations of) keywords that produce amusing results (noordam@astron.nl).
Just click on any of these search keywords to get a subset of thumb-nail images. Clicking on any of those will give you the loving blurb. Note the rich tapestry of life in our lively family of institutes on the Dwingeloo heath. Of course you may also enter your own (combination of) search keywords via the associated "Archive" page. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy.
