What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

[WWGD]

This teenage girl been taking incredibly vigorously on the phone for around an hour without signs of stopping. Problem is she is sitting next to me. Whatever! Or is it However!?

 

[WWGD]

Hmm...how can I put it to the person who wrote me an email telling me she had some money in an account in Ghana, and she ...? She said she is waiting for my reply. How should I reply: I suggest you get a comfortable chair , because it will be a long #$% wait?

Evo, i just realized something: when we first talked to each other on this forum, the iphone did not exist yet

Damn time sure does fly by fast, no?

Yes, and we can have actual pictures and not just portraits for avatars ;).

 

[marlon]

WWGD, what does that stand for? Did we know each other here ?

Besides, that me in the pic

No, sorry, just trying to get in on the joke on modernization, since your avatar seems like a portrait :).

 

[marlon]

Sorry bro, i just tend to look “antique”
Ladies like that, so i have been told

Those were good times though.

 

[marlon]

Yeah, they were

Damn i just read that both marcus and arildno passed away in the last years
I both knew them here quite well
Marcus helped me out on LQG intro

 

[marlon]

Is astronuc still here? And Borek?

 

[Borek]

And Borek?

Still kicking.

 

[WWGD]

Still kicking.

Aka: "I am still standing, Yea, Yea, Yea".

Why we love firemen!

Just been listening to Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, which I don't think I'd heard before. Can't believe how much he ripped off the Star Wars soundtrack. And the bits Tchaikovsky didn't take, that Holst joker put into Mars...

Yeah. Even Rubinstein said after he had seen his first piano that he had looted folk and other sources. So it seems quite typical for Tchaikovsky.

Leonard Rubinstein was called Len Rubinstein . Now that I am learning Python, I just call him 9.

len("Bernstein")==9, to be precise.

Into Mars? Whenever I listen to Neptune I hear Tatooine.

Indeed.

 

[Klystron]

If you-all find classical music confusingly derivative, take a peek at fine Art.

The post-Impressionists alone cause me endless confusion: Monet, Manet both influenced by Camille Corot (or was it Condorcet?). Vincent van Gogh was best buds with Paul Gauguin or was it Paul Cezanne? The we have Seurat, Serusier and Signac all utterly cool painters whose names I cannot pronounce. Luce, Lavall, Lautrec, and Lemmen. To add to the confusion, they paint portraits of each other and insert each other in crowd scenes.

Landscape by Camille Pissarro.

 

[fresh_42]

o add to the confusion, they paint portraits of each other and insert each other in crowd scenes.

I only want to know: what did Miró and Kandinsky take?

 

[WWGD]

len("Bernstein")==9, to be precise.

Isn't it Len('Benstein')==
Anyway, my jokes are bad enough as it is to make them technically correct. I leave that for the programming section and give myself license in this one.

 

[WWGD]

Wow. I was proud of my small proof that the product of 4 consecutive positive integers was never a perfect square. Then I heard Erdos et Al proved the product of consecutive positive integers _ is never a power of an integer_.

Actually in Python - both work OK.

That is, if works a bit better when you refer to him as Bernstein than Benstein, but let's not get too nitpicky.

Oh man, I finally got it. I thought it was some kind of Cockney rhyming slang.

Cheers

That's how "good" my jokes are :).

I want to win at all costs, so I will say len("Benstein") == 8

License freely given. I have read that the Gran Maestro made jokes about his own name. When reporters shouted "Mister Bern-steen" he would turn and shout "stine!. That's birn-stine!". Or perhaps it was the other way around; I can never remember.

Or we can make it otherwise: Let's convince Al Franken to hook up his daughter with Ben Stein's son...

Though for name's sake, I always wanted a congressional committee formed by Akaka, Sununu, Shalala: Akaka-Sununu-Shalala. Sounds more interesting than any other I have seen so far.
