eax:eax said:I still don't get that joke.

'who agrees with sarah?'
'who doesn't?'
'who can't be bothered to put their hand up?'
worryingly, i was the only one who saw the flaw.
I haven't read this thread in a while! I used to get the biggest kick out of peeking in the door during physics exams and watching them all trying to use the right-hand rule...and looking for the one student in the room who is using their left hand to do it!Ivan Seeking said:Hey, this really IS funny. Have you ever looked in on a class of freshman physics students taking a test on vectors and cross products?
All of the contortions remind me of interpretive dance.

What is matter? Never mind.
What is mind? No matter.
Hahahahaha! Human stupidity again! Have fun, everybody![]()

Law Of Experiment
-----------------
First Law --- If anything can go wrong with an experiment or test, it will.
Second Law -- Everything goes wrong at once.
Third Law --- Experiments must be reproducible. They should all fail in the same way.
Fourth Law -- Build no mechanism simply if a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful.
Fifth Law --- No hatter how an experiment or test proceeds, someone will believe it happened according to his pet theory.
Corollary One -- No matter what the result is, someone will misinterpret it.
Corollary Two -- No matter what results are anticipated, someone will be willing to fake them.
Law Of Mathematics
------------------
First Law --- In any collection of data, the figures that are obviously correct beyond all need of checking contain the errors.
Corollary One -- No one whom you ask for help will see the errors.
Corollary Two -- Everyone who stops by with unsought advice will see it immediately.
Second Law -- If,in any problem, you find yourself doing a transfinite amount of work, the answer can be obtained by inspection.
Corollary One -- If inspection fails to yield results, judicious application of one of the methods outlined in the text following may be in order.

1) Multiply by zero.
2) Add the right answer.
