Where did the yellow fin tuna go wrong - i mean, he's not on the can and is probably nearly extinct by now, to boot?

He allowed himself to be captured by Tiny-Tim.

What is the average number of letters in an intro physics book?

My friend used that for her security question on a the university's website. Her answer (which oddly enough she could not remember) was... Platypus.

Is a zebra white with black stripes or white with black stripes.

Both reference systems are equally valid, but the math is a lot easier if you take a zebra to be white with black stripes. (Imagine integrating over an entire white stomach if your reference system is black!)

If a cat says meow and a dog says woof, then what does a PFer say?

"I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight."

Do chickens make good physicists?

Why is this thread a weird thread?

 

[Lesley Bian]

Because I'm here.

Does dynamite belong in a weird thread?

 

[Air]

Yes, because it explodes randomly.

Will I go from old person to a baby (back in time) if the fate of the universe is the 'closed universe'?

 

[Evo]

Why is this thread a weird thread?

Please do not post if you do not understand the game.

The rule is that you answer the last person's question, hopefully with a clever and witty response, then you ask a question.

 

[joeyar]

Will I go from old person to a baby (back in time) if the fate of the universe is the 'closed universe'?

No, you will shrink until you're a human prune.

Did a table delete Evo's question?

 

[Lesley Bian]

Tables can do anything these days. I recently saw one drive a car.

What can you tell me about the biology of my computer?

 

[Andre]

Obviously software-ology and hardware-ology is double-ology.

Who stole Atlantis?

 

[joeyar]

Someone from Atlanta.

Where will the 2008 Physlympics be held?

 

[Andre]

On the square root of the nineth rock from Sol this year.

But when is the train leaving?

 

[TR345]

it already left 5 thousand years ago, but you have to drink the blue cool aid to board it as it goes by on the 6th hour of the summer equinox. Which universe will you be representing?

 

[Daniel Y.]

That hell of a good one next door Cummings likes so much.

When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?

 

[joeyar]

Broccoli.

What will our mascot be at the PhysLympics?

 

[Daniel Y.]

A dwarf, though there are some tensions about whether the dwarf should be white or black.

What famous coaches are going to be at the Physlympics?

 

[TR345]

Dr. Lymphysic will probably be there, which will be interesting because he hates dwarfs and can only see in color.

Will you be bringing any gifts?

 

[joeyar]

I will bring some Martian Turtles and an Australian Polar Bear from New Zealand.

What will be the PlysLympic Flame and what physicsforums members will be performing at the opening ceremony?

 

[TR345]

The flame will be green so that we don't contribute to global cooling, I would perform a demo of my perpetual motion machine, but I might have to call in sick because I've recently been diagnosed with that one disease, you know.

By the way, what inventions will you show off?

 

[tribdog]

My dead thread resuscitator.Why can't some people just let an old thread die?

 

[tribdog]

Nevermind let this one die

 

[sandinmyears]

My dead thread resuscitator.
Why can't some people just let an old thread die?

You have to by law if you know CPR. :D

 

[OmCheeto]

You have to by law if you know CPR. :D

Some people don't know CPR.

What are they supposed to do with the thread? Kick it like an old tribdog?

 

[kaisxuans]

no, u keep it going until the creater wans to kick it aside.

if old threads are to be kicked,old clocks kicked aside, nerds get kicked around by gangsters, then do old people have to be kicked too?

 

[madcat11]

if old threads are to be kicked,old clocks kicked aside, nerds get kicked around by gangsters, then do old people have to be kicked too?

naw, they just go to the old people place promised pre-programmed for them.

Does a pre-program have to run prior to a program or can it run concurrently, after or never at all, time-wise (speaking quantum-ly, of course)?

 

[kaisxuans]

how about having a concurrent program running pior to a time wasting schedule while quantum-ly having to answer your question with what i do not know about? ok I am writing crap.

so how did the word CRAP come about? can't people just say DAMN...wait how did that come up too??
?

 

[BobG]

Because John Crapper invented the first flush toilet (and I think you may have committed a foul by asking a legitimate question with a real answer).
