Hi,

I'm new to the forums (well, I did post one other post when I registered last week or so) and thought I'd introduce myself. I kind of feel weird writing this actually, but I think I'd feel more awkward just randomly inserting myself into the conversation (wait, am I doing that right now?). Anyway, I'm currently a third year physics undergraduate in Canada. *twiddles thumbs*

Okay, that's all I got for now.

*slides away*

Welcome to PF, xfoo.

Thumb twiddling is a popular competitive sport at PF. You're probably just in time for tryouts. Do you twiddle singles or doubles?

You Yanks had better watch your backs; another Canuk in the fray. We'll have you outnumbered soon. :devil:

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I think I'll go with doubles twiddling -- keeps my brain in check. Sort of.

Evo: Good thing I didn't say sunfish otherwise I might be unconscious by now... ! But a puny goldfish, heh, can't do much harm. :D

That depends upon how it's applied. Believe me, you don't want to test Evo's imagination.

Aha! I see the treachery!

But I'm ok with being slapped with an angelfish.
Or...not...lol.

Welcome, I'm new too :]
