Actually there is a joke in the fizzix dept. at CWRU about how different engineers and scientists would solve the same problem. A farmer approaches a psychologists, an engineer, and a physicist about how to analyze the milk production of this cow. The psychologist goes into the psycho-babble and can't actually get any quantitive matters solved, so he calls in the engineer who delves into this deep mathematical solution with differential equations flying all over the place. The farmer was boggled so he called in the physicst, who started his analysis by writing on the board, "1. Assume a sperical cow." and then drawing a circle for the cow. So I am meeting my physics professor for a job interview, and in the physics offices there are chalkboards all over for work to be done on, and I am walking past this chalkboard, only to see this giant sphere with legs MOOOOING! So I guess my quote of the day is "Assume a spherical cow!".

Note: Physicists are mathematicians++. Maths men are still cool as hell though.

That reminds me of the Flash game ''Udder Insanity'' wherein you have to milk cows before they explode (and bust out your shotgun when the cow tippers appear). You get some convex cows of constant curvature pretty quickly in that game.
Today's quote is from my analysis lecturer. He heard that a photographer was coming to take pictures for this year's prospectus, so mid-lecture he noticed someone with a camera, erased the board, wrote ''1+1=2'' in huge handwriting and flashed a big smile.
There's kind of a ranking here as to how badass your field of study is; essentially, a field's badassness is inversely proportional to the proportion of first-year students in that field who are drunk at any given moment. Therefore, medics are least badass, then engineers, then biologists, then biochemists, with physicists, mathematicians and chemists vying for the title of Most Badass.
Hahahaha, that 1 + 1 = 2 thing reminds me of something......
Ah, yes...here it is!

Clearly this is of the same nature. All I can make out is scribbles, but Corbin looks pumped. I see how this badass scale works....at CWRU, the business/management are the least badass, swiftly followed by the medics, and so on.
