What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

In summary, the conversation consists of various discussions about documentaries, the acquisition of National Geographic by Fox, a funny manual translation, cutting sandwiches, a question about the proof of the infinitude of primes, and a realization about the similarity between PF and PDG symbols. The conversation also touches on multitasking and the uniqueness of the number two as a prime number.

Jokes that don't work well in writing ( Nor in any other way, really. From real life)

Have you heard of Greenpeace? Yes, I have them in my salad all the time.

Ok, that didn't go well. Tell us about your favorite rapper. Favorite wrapper? I don't really look at them, I will just, for example, open the candy bar and eat it.

I had to admit I had never thought of daily specials in restaurants. I have tried a few recently and they have provided a nice amount of food for the money. Side salads, potatos , vegetabless, coffee.

Strange attractors? The songs I hear played by youtube always converge on a path of songs I don't like, no matter where I start.

The first step towards good music is to throw away the rapper.

You are not when you're hungry.

Btw., were there people named Descartes or Schrödinger involved?

I am not you when either Descartes, Schrondinger ( nor his cat) are involved. EDIT: But you have piqued my interest. Go on...

Problem is: Since I saw that the Scottish fry Mars bars on television, I can't stop thinking about them whenever it comes to products of that company. I'm haunted.

Fried Mars bars? Wattarrrrrrrrrrrrrr! EDIT: While I have not known (of) many Scotts, I have never heard any two speak with a similar accent. I guess they have micro-accent regions of size approaching 1.

I recognized it, but I was late. @WWGD had already quoted it.

I don't know. Scottsmen are very traditional people, maybe they still use cathode ray tubes in their tvs. They can get hot!

Rob Roy and his Mars bars? How did he fry his?

Isn't ( a horse) with no name a way of naming the horse? Could we write a song (to wrap/rap) about that?
 
  • #4,255
But to be honest: If I had to choose between a fried Mars bar and a Haggis, the Mars bar would definitely win. Whether those habits are the reason they have some really good Whiskeys?

Outside of a set of measure 0 , where it is eating Haggis.

They have a building architecture style called " Brutalist" ,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture which is a style where mostly buildings used for non-popular functions just do not claim to be anything other than what they are. Like a police building for the state force: no coffee nor gift shops. I mean, what can hey have in a gift shop? A teddy bear that says " You can't do that, I know my rights" every time you press it?

That's an euphemism for ugly.

But that's sort of the point. The function is one that is seen as ugly, so the architect makes no effort to hide the ugliness. They just present it for what it is instead.EDIT: At least as I understood the term.

It seems like telling someone " Your mom looks really strong" is not always a compliment ( Bet she could power lift?) ?

It was a kind of awkward (maybe understatement) reply when someone complimented me. I thought I needed to return it but couldn't think of anything else.

Still likely better than "Cool Mustache. Who's that? It's my mom...".
