If you're an experamentalist monotheist, there's an error bound on that number.

"And on le Physics Forums, \exists\, 1\, {\rm Evo }\, \pm 1."

...10 translations later Bing and Google give us:

"God said this year?"

I can be "Most Annoying", "Most likely to be Perma-banned" and probably a lot of of other categories. I have so much free time that I could patrolling as a mentor (Like THAT is ever going to happen!)

Count your blessings and consider that one of them. :biggrin:

I like the homework help, science, physics, ee etc awards. I hope they go to the people who deserve them most!

:biggrin:

I don't go into those forums but I have kept seeing twofish-quant name coming up (for academic advices) quite a lot of times!

Yes but it is only for people who DIDN'T ask about it!
 
  • #22
Hmm, there are 3 non-mentor, non-admins with more posts than Dave.
The first 2 have an Award from last year.

If there was an epic loss category, I would win that too because I am too awesome! I win all over the board. :D

One more day!

Also! Science Design has been gracious enough to donate a copy of MathType! We will be selecting a nominee at random to win the prize!

It's like the lottery! But without all your old friends and relatives crawling out of the woodwork begging for change.

Not exactly. More like the "Winner of the Random Selection from the Winners Award."

The Physics and Engineering ones still say 2010.

Faulty engraving.

It still says 2010. It should say 2011.

I see 2011. Clear your cache?

Yes, that fixed it. Thanks.

Suggestion for next year: Split the physics category into two: quantum physics and classical physics.

Good idea! We could have easily doubled the nominee list this year! So many great members!
