    Stupid
In summary: Since you've just started learning engineering, you're in for a bumpy ride. The amount of physics you'll need to know to be a successful engineer is substantial, and a good chunk of that physics is covered in calculus. However, you don't need to be proficient in calculus to be a successful engineer. In fact, you may find that you don't even need to use calculus for some of the more advanced physics concepts.

It depends on how you feel about it once your sentence is carried out. :devil:

Certainly. PF has even obtained a fatwa from the Al Azhar University in Cairo that our sentencing is perfectly halal. :smile:

fatwa-considered legal opinion from the body of the ulema on a specific issue

Keeping in mind that the last time someone stated their preference as the Megalodon he had to be slapped with salmon because of unavailability (which had unfortunately been cooked and hence made a mess) I have decided due to technical difficulties not to slap you with the Megalodon and instead I will smash you with it :devil:...

Well you're currently in a place where people spend their free time doing physics and science, what else can you expect other than a bunch of nuts?

Granted.

But, since your deserved sentence does not involve DEAD fish (not to speak of whether it is to be eaten or not), they had to dig really deep into the appendices of Bukhari and Sahih Muslim to come up with their opinion.

Sorry, only one slap per person.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

cook the fish 6 times to make sure it's dead for certain.

Or, as the divines at Al Azhar put it in their fatwa:
"Our Prophet (PBUH) fully endorsed harmless fun as one of many ways to create a harmonious sense of fellowship among the Believers"

That Megalodon had been dead for centuries- no need to cook or cut anything...congratulations you now smell of rotten fish.

ACTUALLY, no rotting stink is attached to our megalodons. they have all been transformed into clean stone, prior to smacking initiates with them (this is contained as an explicit command in the caveat 3b.2 in the above-mentioned fatwa. Harmless fun must not involve stinking matters).

I was the guy who prepared the fish and pressed the button. I know better...though I wish I didn't

Cheat or no cheat, your joke is fun in limited contexts. :smile:

Fish slapping is not fun it is a necessity.
 
  • #64
Woah, Megalodon is dead? You're telling me that the giant whale decoy they made for Shark Week DIDN'T attract an extinct shark?

It is necessary fun, in order to create a harmonious sense of fellowship at PF.

Anyways:
My heartfelt welcome to you, Abd El Hameed, here at PF, and I hope you will enjoy your stay here. :smile:
Feeling "dumb/stupid" is certainly somewhat humiliating, but something felt by ALL as they progress along the learning curve within the hard sciences.
