[Finally got time to upload pictures to my imagestation... check them out] ggrrrrrr.. Charles stole my year end post.. but I'm going to post it anyways. The funny moments that kept us sane..... Eric: 2 am, mad at his noisy floor mates for the n-th time.. SHUTTUP!! Chris Waltham, director: going over our diagnostics test What is 1.013? (no calculators) It's not 1.0201, or 1.010201. If you belive that then you must also believe that (a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 What is the radius of the earth? Half of you gave me answers larger than the size of the known universe Chris Waltham: teaching about waves and hearing I once got my ears check because I'm hard of hearing... it turns out I can hear just as well as anyone my age... the doctor said there was nothing wrong with my ears... just what's between them Domingo Louis-Martinez, physics prof: during all of his lectures really... Is everybody happy with integrals.. yes? *after writing something confusing on the board* everyone understand? right? right. *someone asks about integration, Domingo points to board* you just write V's everywhere! *grins* *someone asks about the notation in the textbooks in thermo* just go and change all the signs now.. *grins* Mark Halpern, physics prof: in emails from Antarctica.... I ski pi miles most days, a lap of our one mile diameter launch pad, but today I can not make progress against the wind at the far end without putting my head down and poling really a lot, so I cut back across the diameter. "The key to preventing hypothermia is prevention." I have gotten used to the sun not setting. That seems OK. There is still a day and a night defined by our daily habits. I'm tired at 'night' and perkier in the 'morning'. What I have not gotten used to is that the sun moves the wrong way. Leah Keshet, math prof: dicussing optimization We want maximize the amount of booze for the buck! Celeste, bio prof: whenever she gets excited *bounces* YAY! Greg Bole, Bio 140 lab instructor: at Bamfield on the boatride Eric: look there's homo erectus! Greg: look.. and homo reclinus! Mark Maclean, math prof: discussiing linear approximation now I have a straight line and I'm happy! *bounces and beams*
