My card last year had the course on it

I prefer to tell them I'm a student of luuurve, baby, and that they can be my teacher.

A few tips :P

Telling a girl that you do Comp Sci isn't the instant runner you think it will be.

Snivelling and taking out a laptop while in the club might be though.

Or maybe its just after my year all the good looking women disappeared :P

Brian

I met my girlfriend at a Maths competition.

Why not just lie to girls and tell them you study BESS (or something similarly easy to bluff your way through, and large enough that you can safely say "No" to the "Oh, do you know ____?" question) - by the time they find out the truth, they'll be so overcome by your Manly Charms and Charisma that they won't care any more. Unles you don't have Manly Charms and Charisma, in which case I fear that doing computer science may be the least of your worries...

Or, Solution #47: Cease Dating Women. I hear they have cooties anyway.

Oh good God, I used that YouTube link far too early. (In all reality, though, I jest, and would actually kinda love to date someone who loved xkcd and maths. I'd overlook a lot of flaws for a healthily nerdy sense of humour)

What chat up line did you use?

"I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves."

"i'll take you to the limit as x approaches infinity."

"I wish i was your problem set, because then i'd be really hard, and you'd be doing me on the desk."

Crash

"Integrate this?"

"Solve these problems while I **** your skull"

... i'll go now.

Brian

I'm going to stop talking about my girlfriend now. Not because I don't like to, but because I'm so much more than talking about her and Red Bull Cola. So much more.







She does read xkcd, but doesn't get that many of them.


And she made the first move!

I'd honestly never heard that before (though Google assures me it's pretty common), but it is truly awesome - thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Economists do it continuously and discretely. With models.

Some more for your reading.

Alright, efficient hydrogen production!

Time Magazine

Woohoo! I've just bought tickets to go see Finch play in England. I finally get to see them play. And thank you, Michael O'Leary and a de-regulated European aviation market, for providing me with my flights for €20.

Brian

I saw Radiohead in Manchester, so nyah.

Tricity Bendix

I object to the above picture of Finch. It fails to portray the beautiness of Nate.

In a place that looks like this?

The girl with the glasses is clearly staring right at his crotch.

I saw today, for the first time in a long time, the side of proper student politics.

I saw today something that could and should lead to an end to the crippling apathy.

Crash

I'm vaguely disappointed that after 3 out of my 4 years in college spent trying to see student politics like that....it happens after I finish

Brian

Meh.

What was it? I missed it!

.......on a side note, today was a productive day for me, I finally calculated the distance between Earth and Hell: http://theresaryan.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/art-science-and-religion-do-mix/

Crash

One slight error in your calculation - it says it would arrive on the tenth day after 9 day and nights, therefore instead of 24x10 it should be 24x9.0000000000000000000....00001 and 24x9.5, to symbolise the fact that it arrives during the day period on the 10th.

Ahem.

I thought the most glaringly obvious one was the assumption that acceleration due to gravity is constant, but then again, I am more attracted to numbers than actually reading the text.

Crash

Mmm I thought that, but have done practically zero physics over the years so couldnt definitively say for certain :P

paperclip

Obviously I made the gravity constant- I doubt an anvil would fall through space, after all- but just for the sake of it I used the old 9.8 m/s standby...

As for the nine days and nine nights and arriving on the tenth day.... it could have arrived very late in the tenth day? That's my excuse, but yours would be just as correct. Anything between 9 and 10 is fair game really, but I used 10 because a) It was easier and I'm lazy and b) Exaggeration is always good.

And now we know that Hell is around Uranus. Or Heaven, depending on which side of the world you live.

Crash

Well surely it would only be between 9 and 9.5, seeing as it makes distinctions between night and day?

If an anvil wanted to get to Uranus it'd have to fall through space, you know... : p But this is just being pedantic, I believe in neither hell nor anvils.
