I am in Ruston this week and was amused to learn that KNLU has changed its call sign to KULX.

I really enjoy my job. In the past couple of weeks I've met people from more than a dozen different countries (including Estonia, Albania, Grenada, Mongolia, and Sri Lanka).
Funny thing about it, though. They all keep asking me how they can steal that Sharky guy's job.
Weird.
Wait, you have a JOB?Quote:

In daily life it's easily more practical to be able to walk quickly than to say, throw a ball through a peach basket or kick an inflated oblong spheroid through two sticks.
In summary: Speed walking = useful in life, not so useful for sporting/entertainment purposes.
I hate people that walk slowly. Maybe I should post this in that other thread.
We have a ten month old daughter, and we do hope to have more kids someday. I suppose it's in my best interest to get used to the crunch of Cherrios underfoot?
One of the advantages of height is that you can walk slowly, but still move (relatively) quickly.Quote:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities: 1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over..
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "...it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."
That should be an A in anybody's book.Quote:

At some point in math class I was told to put a line through Z so that it wasn't confusued with a 2. Why do people put a line through a 7?

Seriously, though, I tend to pick my cake based almost entirely on the icing. You could put cream cheese icing on a Sunbeam hotdog bun and I'd pick it over icing-less cake.
One exception: Pound cake. However, when properly constituted, the sugar in the crust of a good pound cake makes an edging that is as good as icing. :icon_wink:
So that it doesn't look like a 4. It makes sense when you see someone write a 7 with that loopy thing on the leading edge.Quote:

Adrian Cole and Nick White - maybe
Also, it's kind of sad that more people are in the "awaiting reply" group than "attending"
Don't put much into it. Events on/through facebook are stupid. I always ignote/delete them.
