Instead of doing diff EQ hw...

Ive been collecting (still collecting) a list of dork terms that i thought were funny. Hope yall do too. btw if u have some jargon terms u think are funny from ur specialization id love to add them to my list.

(btw, JINX, some of these were txt messages that u didnt get. O & Jacki has the same issues w/ not getting my txts so i guess its my phone)

Heres what ive got so far

1. LOL- limit of linearity (refers to the end of linear (useful) data on a calibration curve)

2. HOMO- highest occupied molecular orbital (its the last MO w/electrons in it, important in frontier orbital interactions which is like every bonding interaction)

3. MF- magnetic field

4. ODE- ordinary differential equation (as versus partial diff EQ)

5. STD- standard deviation (basic stat figure w/ reference to the mean)

6. OCD- orbital correlation diagram (MO diagram used to show correlation of the signs(+ or -) of MOs in a system especially conjugated p system)

Also you know ur a dork when:

1. You y when your exasperated.

2. You end every argument by yelling Q.E.D!

3. Someone says 'short bus' and you ask 'are we talking an 8-bit or larger DB"

4. You think 'straight-up G' means gravity is the only acting force.

5. You know that cats 'meow' but kittens m.

6. 'Losing your concentration' means you're overdiluting something.

7. The word 'flip-flops' makes you think of LEDs, signals, JK, binary counters, & DCU.

8. You begin a hypothetical social analogy with "so this person, we'll call him person X, is involved with another person... umm person Y"

Finally heres a couple jokes,

Q: How do you know a physical chemist is happy to see you?
A: By his Birge-Sponer plot of course.

Q: What does a physicist scream when she orgasms?
A: Oh my boson! (boson is the god particle in quantum mechanics)

Q: What does a chemist gasp when shes climaxing?
A: p^*! p^*! p^*! p^*! (its the excited state)

Q: If H₂O is the chemical formula for water, whats the chemical formula for ice?
A: H₂O³ (lol "cubed")

Q: Why do chemists call helium, curium, and barium the medical elements?
A: Because if you can't helium or curium then you have to barium.

Q: What do you call a joke based on cobalt, radon, and yttrium?
A: CoRnY

These are actual chemical names:

Sexithiophene

Crapinon

Sparassol(pronounced spare-ass-hole)
Fukugetin
Erotic acid
Cummingtonite
Dickite
Fucitol(pronounced fawk-it-all)
Psicose(pronounced sick-o's)
Clitorin

have fun!

Crapinon ftw.

lol....that does compute

Have you heard the spherical cow joke? I mean, it's really more a theoretical physicist thing.

no i havent heard anything about a spherical cow joke! please do tell! also have you heard the hairy ball theorem of calculus? (or i guess abstract algebra)

btw a professor told a joke today:

"The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. Thats why people look bright before you hear them speak."

Ha! Awesome... I have not heard the hairy ball theorem.

The gist of the spherical cow joke (and this is really, really dorky...)
So there's this farmer in Wisconsin who owns a cow farm and one season his milk production gets so low he might have to close down the farm. So in his desperation he searches all over for some kind of solution; he tries everything he can think of and every crazy idea he can find on the internet. Nothing works and the milk production drops even lower. So finally he contacts a theoretical physicist who lives in town and is known for his brilliant solutions. The physicist says he'll work on the problem, and two weeks later he calls the farmer back. He says, "Well, I've found the perfect solution to your milk shortage..." To which the farmer replies, "Great, what is it?"
"Well, first we must assume a spherical cow in a vacuum...."

(and yes, that is the punchline.)

For those of you that were as lost as I was follow the link....

Spherical Cow

If you are still lost.....

Flatulence

Two hydrogens are walking down the street.
---The first one says to the other, "I think I lost an electron."

---The second replies, "Really, you sure?"

---The first gasps, "I'm positive!"
