Hi all, my department's having a cookoff and I am wondering if anyone has any cute names for a dish that are really physics-related. So far we have Tesla coiled marshmallows and thomson cookies... any ideas out there? It can be any type of dish, I just need a humorous physics name to match.

This isn't a homework question, just a random question. The other day I hit my head really hard on the ground and ended up getting a concussion. The athletic trainer at my school said that if I would have hit my head on a pad, I would not have received a concussion. Why is this? Besides...

Hi all! This is my first post here, so please correct me if I am doing anything wrong. Before I posted this thread here, I read some of the other threads in the subject "General Astronomy", and now I am not sure, that this thread blends in with the other articles, since my question is far...

Aussie or Kiwi term: “mate”; a survivor's guide This term is used almost universally (down under), in particular by male members of either group, and appears to function as something of a placeholder, or pause-word, but actually functions as a sobriquet of sorts. “Mate”, or an older (Aussie)...

My Friend told me this one and I'm stump. Well anyway here it is and have fun! You're a modified human with robotic parts (aka the 'cyborg') in a pistol duel with two other cyborg, making a three-way free-for-all. You have been programmed to fire pistols with an accuracy of 33%. The other...

Some people find some things funny, others don't. We laugh when a similar situation recurs? We laugh when people fall over and hurt themselves? We smile on the point of laughter when Langbein posts a new thread? We laugh when people are frank? We laugh when someone intentionally misinterprets...

What's funny to one person isn't funny to another. Some say it is gross, while other give it a good laugh. I started to notice a pattern that comedyness has some blend of stupidiness into it but I was proven wrong later on. There are moments we laugh, what makes laugh?(humorly) Is it a...
