Ping: Non-Scientists

[WSUCougar]

You can feel safe here, amongst the history majors with minors in English. Here, no one will say things like "thermodynamics" or "the liberation of dissolved gasses."

Here is a place to call home.

[Ksyrup]

Thank you. I didn't want to have to pull out my "rabbit with a pancake on its head" pic again.

[Butter]

Ideal gas law!
Law of thermodynamics!

Ha-ha!

[rkmsuf]

I am the law!

[Kodos]

String theory! Dark matter! Conservation of mass!

[WSUCougar]

Ha-ha!
Slowly back out of this thread, pal, or I'll have to start quoting Chaucer's Canterbury Tales at you. In Middle English.

[WSUCougar]

String theory! Dark matter! Conservation of mass!
ACK!

[Kodos]

Strange attractions! Parallel universes! Avogadro's number!

[BrianD]

Slowly back out of this thread, pal, or I'll have to start quoting Chaucer's Canterbury Tales at you. In Middle English.

We had to memorize the opening to that in High School. Oddly enough, I can still remember a bunch of it almost 15 years later.

[Ksyrup]

OK, now look what you done gone made me do...

[Qwikshot]

What if you are a really bad scientist?

[Ksyrup]

You're still a scientist, Beaker.

[Kodos]

Punctuated equilibrium! Nanotechnology! Gravity may not exist!

[Drake]

Hi! My name is Drake and I'm happy to be here.

[Ksyrup]

Punctuated equilibrium!
Shouldn't this be in the drunk guy thread?

[KWhit]

Punctuated equilibrium! Nanotechnology! Gravity does not exist!
Outer Space! Germs! Thunder and Lightning!



Don't tell anybody, but I'm not really a scientist.

[Kodos]

Dilithium crystals! Warp drives! The Genesis Device!

[KWhit]

Dilithium crystals! Warp drives! The Genesis Device!
Now that I recognize!


:D

I think that's actually two pancakes. My English minor requires that I make these kinds of grammatical suggestions.

[Ksyrup]

Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!

Kodos: Don't make me start talking about postmodern theory and the cultural other.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice realism to...fit all of those words on the pic? I don't know, I didn't create it.

[KWhit]

This one's for JPhillips:

Constantin Stanislavski! Uta Hagen! Richard Boleslavsky!

[MalcPow]

Sometimes you have to sacrifice realism to...fit all of those words on the pic? I don't know, I didn't create it.

Sounds good to me. Hey, we're not scientists here, if we have to sacrifice some realism then so be it :D

[WSUCougar]

Gunter glieben glauchen globen!

[rkmsuf]

Igor Stravinsky

[WSUCougar]

I just liberated some possibly-dissolved gas, and it made a funny noise.

[rkmsuf]

Chuck Norris invented science. You making fun of Chuck Norris?

[Kodos]

Gunter glieben glauchen globen!

Owright!

[TargetPractice6]

Chuck Norris invented science. You making fun of Chuck Norris?If he is then he'll probably be dead before he gets a chance to reply.

[JPhillips]

KWhit: Back at you with modern flava!

Anne Bogart! Neil Labute! Robert LePage!

[SFL Cat]

Glad I'm not near you, on the off chance the out-gassing is slightly toxic.

[WSUCougar]

Stinky fish! Stinky fish!

[Kodos]

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy! Enzyme-linked immunsorbent assay! MALDI-TOF (Matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight)!

[JPhillips]

Now you made me do it.

In Edward Said's book, Orientalism the theory of the cultural other......

[SFL Cat]

I AM THE CULTURAL OTHER.......fear me.

[WSUCougar]

We had to memorize the opening to that in High School. Oddly enough, I can still remember a bunch of it almost 15 years later.
So did I... :D

Therefore...

Kodos...

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote

[KWhit]

I AM THE CULTURAL OTHER.......fear me.
And WSUCougar just had an Uncultured Odor. I fear that more.

[Kodos]

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright...


I had to recite that peom in English. What a nightmare...

[SFL Cat]

And WSUCougar just had an Uncultured Odor. I fear that more.

[William Shatner]True....and I am..........afraid[/William Shatner]

I think it was the Wow chips.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/932175/wtf1.jpgThat's great- hadn't seen that one before.

[Desnudo]

There once was a man from Nantucket.

[sterlingice]

Homer: Hey, you know, I once knew a man from Nantucket.
Bart: And?
Homer: Let's just say the stories about him are greatly exaggerated.

SI

[Drake]

The singularity is near.

We can only hope. And it won't look a damned thing like Charlie Stross says it will.

[Brillig]

Actually, I believe that is not a pancake at all. Or two pancakes. But rather a Japanese pastry known as "manju".

[Desnudo]

That's great- hadn't seen that one before.

[Eaglesfan27]

What about those of us who are/were scientists but don't remember enough physics to meaningfully participate in the other thread? Where can we call home?

[Klinglerware]

What about political scientists?

[sterlingice]

What about political scientists?Bah, they're not scientists. Tho some could be classified under "mad scientists" (see: Rove, Carl) ;)

You have to quote, or at least attempt to quote, some historical tome or work of English literature. Then you're in the club.

[Desnudo]

I always had St. Cronin pegged as some sort of business man. Interesting to see him as a scientist.

[SFL Cat]

Is this a dagger I see before me
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.

"Whip it."

[BrianD]

Why do I hear this line in a John Wayne voice?

[Drake]

Robin Williams singlehandedly destroyed an entire generation's appreciation of Shakespeare with that scene.

[st.cronin]

In a former life I was a stockbroker and, briefly, a hedge fund manager. Now I am a full time college student.

[Kodos]

Nice work, Robin.

Shakespeare sux.

[BrianD]

Dead Poet's Society? Ah yes, he was showing that Shakespeare didn't have to be stuffy and dull.

But anyone who saw Gwenyth's boobies decided they might be interested in Shakespeare after all.

Good point. Gwyneth went a long way toward undoing the havoc wreaked by Robin.

I'm too lazy to type it out. :D

[Buccaneer]

I got a Bachelor of Science degree, but I definitely did not deserve it.

Coug, maybe we can talk about what was the true turning point in the Civil War? ;)

[SFL Cat]

I'm a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Arts and a Doctor of nothing. Yeah, me.
