Counterterra, the Renormalising Smith Mug
Renormalisation absorbs divergences into a redefinition of measured mass and charge, leaving finite predictions.
The joke: Physicists hide infinities in constants; grad students hide them in footnotes. The slogan on the mug reads MY INFINITIES ARE RENORMALISED.
