Come across any interesting graffiti lately ?



On the door of a math dept. classroom where Calculus was being taught :

1 + 1 --> 3, for large values of 1


Finger-written on the dusty rear windshield of a car parked near my apartment :

I wish I had a woman this dirty
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I chalk this myself all over:
Speed on, sinners. Hell ain't half-full yet...That's from a physicist I knew.

Have that lettered on my car, too. I like to put JesusSeesUs on the back windshield in car chalk.
 
I just like to make tiny little feet on dusted areas :biggrin:

Make your hand in a fist, press the side of your hand in the dust (with the thumb part up), and make 5 little toes with your fingertip :-p alternate with the other hand so that it's like a dwarf walked there not too long ago :approve:
 
On a wall in the Men's Room (where else ?) ...


Proof that reproduction leads to divorce :

\int e^x = e^x + C

written to read like " Sex = ex + C "
