2003-12-27 22:23:33 ET so so tired.... this is for andy YOU MIGHT BE A PHYSICS MAJOR IF... • you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically. • you enjoy pain. • you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division. • you chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force." • you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator. • when you look in a mirror, you see a physics major. • it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer. • you frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver." • you always do homework on Friday nights. • you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water. • you think in "math." • you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges. • you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function. • you have a pet named after a scientist. • you laugh at jokes about mathematicians. • the Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment. • you can translate English into Binary. • you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says "Exit." • you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab. • you are completely addicted to caffeine. • you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe. • you consider ANY non-science course "easy." • when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely that, according to Heisenberg, it could be anywhere in the universe. • the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use. • you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier. • you understood more than five of these indicators. • you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door. If these indicators apply to you, there is good reason to suspect that you might be classified as a physics major. I hope this clears up any confusion. |
