Yeah, but it's more for my dog jokes and smart-ass comments than it is for contributing to physics knowledge.
What more can we ask for? No one does it better... :bow:

Besides, its a more efficient system than mine (saying something very fallacious and trying to debate my way out of it:wink:)

And some of your smart-ass comments seem subtle compared with my juvenile puns like : " Harvard is the Square Root of Harvard Square".

Thanks guys. BTW, I half expected some of the other Mentors to prank me by going back and deleting a few of my earliest posts each day just to keep my post number flat for a couple of weeks. Shhh, don't nobody tell them I mentioned that... :smile:

On the "Most Likes" page, I see that @Drakkith and @phinds are once again right next to each other as they make their way to 3000 "likes" which is labeled as "Hello Mr. President" in the Physics Forums Trophy Awards. Congratulations and thank you to them and all those who have reached or are about to reach this mark. :)

That trophy will be given out quite often in the near future. @jim hardy and @davenn have 2950+ already, and @vanhees71 and @Orodruin have more than 2900 as well. The latter will probably be the first to get more than 1000 trophy points with the additional 60.

It looks like it will soon have 4 more members. Maybe they should put in some tennis courts or a swimming pool.

The tennis court and the swimming pool area will need extensions as well, but that is an independent issue. Maybe we can sacrifice one hole of the golf court.

LOL. I had to google that one. I hadn't tuned into the TV when President Trump invented that word. :) And congratulations to you @Orodruin !

Congratulations @vanhees71 ! You made it to the President's lounge (3000 "likes"). I've got a long way to go, but I'm hoping to join you there in about 6 or 7 years. :)
