You

[photon]

It seems we don't know (or maybe it's just me) too much about eachother. So a few details about yourself would be good. You know, like credit card information, PIN, social security number, etc. :biggrin:

Me:
Well, I'll be 13 on May 6, (I'm one of the young ones)and I'm in seventh grade. I like physics, cynicism, making fun of country music and wannabee persuasive people. I like humour, and I collect knives (odd hobby, i know)

[The_Professional]

Aw Shucks. Can't I just paypal you some money instead. Wait a minute, you didn't mention Paypal. Better luck next time.

[photon]

Hey, that's totally fine. I can do paypal, or you could just mail me the straight dough. Whatever works for you to send that money is fine.

Just remember: Your cash is our cash.

[Ivan Seeking]

I collect knives (odd hobby, i know)

When I was a kid I collected knives...I always appreciated the craftsmanship in a quality knife. It started out with Boy Scout and hunting knives, but then I started buying them just because they were cool.

I also learned that I should never spread mayo with a good knife. :frown:

[The_Professional]

I too was fond of knives. I used to have a butterfly knife or commonly referred to in my country as the Balisong, similar to the one The Punisher was holding on one scene. I used to apply oil on it to make the joints looser thereby making it easy to perform neat tricks on it.

I'm really getting into those tactical knives from places like Cold Steel and Spyderco. The neighbors must think it a bit odd when I go in my back yard to practice with throwing knives. It all gets a bit expensive after a while though, especially if you appreciate steel quality.

Oh yeah, and my name is Corey bytheway. Or Corky if you want.

[Evo]

I'm crotchety, set in my own ways, I don't have a life, I work way too much, I'm all alone and unloved, and my cat vomited in my shoe this morning and I didn't notice until it was too late. :eek:

hey, at least you have a sunny disposition and nobody is ever alone when they have PF in their life and when you are a part of PF you are never unloved. The only problem I see is that your feet smell so bad they can gag a cat.

The only problem I see is that your feet smell so bad they can gag a cat.Are you saying some Odor Eaters are all that stand between me and true love?? :frown:

[Tom Mattson]

I'm 31 years old, my favorite color is blue, and my turn-ons include long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and jello wrestling.

Got my BS in Engineering from RPI in wonderful Troy, NY in 1995. Liked the school so much I stuck around to go for my PhD in theoretical subatomic physics. Unfortunately, my thesis advisor died and I lost my funding, so now I'm on leave of absence (anyone want to send me 27 grand a year so I can finish?). Now, I'm teaching math as an adjunct at a local college, and it looks like I'll get hired as a full professor. If that happens, I'll get the funding I need to change my userid to "Doctor Tom". Keep your fingers crossed for me.

My favorite subjects are the Standard Model (no kidding!), mathematical logic, and analytic philosophy. I am also making an attempt to learn string theory and LQG, thanks to some handy online resources I found.

My gosh Evo, I thought that after the Academy Awards you were on your way to New Zealand. :eek:

We all love you. The cat vomit is just kitty's way of saying "think of me today...I'm with you mom". :biggrin:

[tribdog]

Are you saying some Odor Eaters are all that stand between me and true love?? :frown:
Never underestimate the importance of personal hygeine. In fact if you are looking for true love I have only two suggestions: personal hygeine and oral sex.

[Evo]

My gosh Evo, I thought that after the Academy Awards you were on your way to New Zealand. :eek: I've been avoiding making that decision. I've got less than 2 months to decide. Bad timing. :frown:

okay. name the time and place and I'll be there.

I have been to Troy, NY. I am sure it's a wonderful place. :wink:

[Jeebus]

Well it all started with my Father's family name being Pirrip, and my christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names longer or more explicit than Pip. So I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.

Wait!, what?

… No, I'm just a 15 year old kid with too much computer time on my hands and too many books I read whilst posting on the PF forum. Mult-tasking is my game. :wink: I'm a freethinker, skeptic, and just some guy that likes to spend too much of his time reading on consciousness and its philosophy (translation: spending more time than moderators do in the Philosophy threads), and reading Tom Mattson's and chroot's physics posts! :biggrin:

[xck]

lover of music, children, information, laughter, the moon, the tao, nirvana, jesus, animals, clean system (dropped psych meds :) ... jung, campbell, erge, wilde...hmmm

oh yes this site. i know nothing of physics so i like to read what i read. i know how to light a candle, so it's pointless for me to hang out at sites that will give me info on something i already know about.

on may 6, happy birthday to you, me, willie mayes, and freud >wink<

[Njorl]

I'm a 41 year old physicist working for the gummint. I have a lovely wife who got her degree in Diplomacy and Technology concerning the Soviet Union in 1990. We're almost done paying for it! I have an 8 year old daughter who is trying to drive me insane, and a 3 year old son who is trying to neuter me. I take so many shots to the groin I feel like I'm living in an episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos".

I like history, politics, economics and movies that make me think, "Wow that's cool!" and "Wow that's stupid!" at the same time. I know exactly how to run the world, but could use a little help organizing my own life. I am the world's only 6'5" dwarf.

[RageSk8]

I am a 19 year old college student majoring in philosophy and thinking of another major in math. I enjoy sleeping, reading, pretty women, and alcohol. I was raised in a devote Mormon family but have been an athiest/apatheist since I was about 13. My philosophical interests are primarily centered on post-analytic philosophers (Davidson, Rorty, later Wittgenstein, etc.).

[Math Is Hard]

I am a budget analyst/info sys person for a department at UCLA. Before this I was a database tech and at one time a software producer. I go to school part time, and I love my math and science classes. I love to go out to clubs in L.A. but there's very little time for that anymore between school and work. I have a cat named Jellyroll who lives with me at my little apartment in West L.A.
oh, yeah, I'm an Aries and my turn-offs are impatient people who honk their horns and people who write computer viruses. :)

[Polly]

Phatmonkey asked me in another thread if I am Chinese and also my nationality (Taiwanese? Hong Kong?). Since that thread has been closed I will answer his question here.

Yes I am a PRC-borne entirely Hong Kong educated (except for two brief years in Singapore) ethnic Chinese. As one of my best friends is Taiwanese, I know a bit about Taiwanese mentality. I use to practice in corporate finance and have now switched to something less demanding (read: completely brain deadening). I am also an MRS aspirant :biggrin: .

My latest achievement? Hmmm I have just taken a IQ test which places me in the same league as Zero, and I am mightily proud!! (Okay I know he says IQ tests are bogus but as I have such high score I refuse to believe it).

[Macgyver]

I am 20 year old physics major. I am into rock climbing, backpacking, and caving. To give you the best idea of what I'm like I can just say that I earned the nickname MacGyver from my friends. I always carry a multi-tool, I can improvise like its my job, and I can fix most of the things people bring my way.

[Evo]

I'm a data network consultant. I design wide area networks (WAN's) for companies.

[jimmy p]

i work in a betting shop.... just been promoted to trainee deputy manager, which means I'll be on the management fast track (???) in no time!!

[Polly]

Jimmy, just out of curiosity, do you gamble yourself?

[Imparcticle]

I am young, and lovin' it. I LOVE physics and any type of science, and international stuff. I enjoy reading and studying on my spare time...which means that's almost all I do. Besides that, I like going to the gym, perk up those muscles (which I know are under there...but they refuse to come out...must force'm out then huh?) I hopefully have. I have a reputation for being a "cool nerd" at school.
I try to be funny but never succeed. As my best friend once said to me " I'm not lauging with you, I'm laughing AT you! hahaha" and of course, she means that in a nice way. I tease her about being an x-midget. We always have good laughs though. seriosly, always.

aww! that's cute photon! youre a "sevvy" (seventh grader). That's what we older (not that older, but lets just say I'm a few years older than u) kiddos call ya'll seventh graders.

[KLscilevothma]

I'm one of the two known PF members from Hong Kong!! :biggrin:

I'll be a university student this September and I hope to take part in some student exchange programmes and can study in USA for one or two semester(s). Hopefully, I can get my PhD or MPhil in some good colleges in USA in the future. I've already finished two credits-carrying university courses about astrophysics and mathematics in the past 2 years while I was still in high school and I'm planning to study another one about differential geometry in the coming summer holiday. Just like most of the members here, I'm a forever lover of maths and science. :biggrin:

I like dogs and like joking to my friends that I'll keep 10 dogs at my home in the future. :tongue:

31 year old oregonian who does basic accounting and inside sales for a small company...i like studying astrology and doing crafts, in particular i am highly into jewelry beading...i will be (re)married this july to my best friend Mark, and i have two children (from a previous marriage), have been a mentor for PF since 11/01 (3 years oh my!), and most relative to this forum, i like to ponder metaphysics/philosophy with others.

That means he was on the older version of pf. :wink:

The eighth graders at the school Rathma & I go to call us sevvies too. The sixth graders are called sixies. :cool:

I think that PF did some refurbishment in 2003. Just look at Greg Bernhardt's profile.

[rathma]

As Photon mentioned, I too am a "sevvy," but that's OK since I'm smarter than most eighth graders anyway. And more modest too. :wink: But anyway, I'll be 13 in July, I love reading and/about herpetology (animals in general), employing my vocabulary to stupefy people (which I don't think is very possible here, all you geniuses :biggrin: ) and also I'm kind of a spelling/grammar freak, I correct people all the time. I'm also kind of into the martial arts, jujitsu and judo being my specialities. I like cloudy but warm days, and nice long, leisurely walks that go nowhere in particular.

I also, in my spare time, when not on arbitrary internet forums, I enjoy devising insane schemes for world domination (notice my signature). :biggrin:
