It's a pretty common topic at phdcomics. :p
But anyways, what do they feel about them? Do they consider it a positive thing or a negative thing? Certain administrators HATE this (well, certain people who hate "weird" people would hate this, or I guess, people who are obsessed with keeping their department "clean"). Most of your fellow undergrads/grad students will simply find it funny. Others might think that it makes you smell. But what about professors? might some of them even like you more for it (since it's something they can always joke about and convinces some of them that you're REALLY into your research)? Physics departments often already have many "weird" grad students in them, although astronomy students seems to be more neurotypical.
