enigma (CDE):
Salt-Water Love
I dream of her
I can no longer
See
The picture has turn
Black
She goes on
So does
My Love
The dream no longer
Exists
No hope can
Save
What cannot
Be
Salt-Water
Tears
Caress my cheeks
Kissing me
Good-bye
My Love
Leaves me
Flowing out
Upon the dry
Earth
It feels my
Warmth
of
Salt-Water
Love
Shivers
The Earth
Soaked
I'm dry
Now
My Heart
Is only
Pounding
STOP

And the crowd was stilled. One elderly man, wondering at the sudden silence,
turned to the Child and asked him to repeat what he had said. Wide-eyed,
the Child raised his voice and said once again, "Why, the Emperor has no
clothes! He is naked!"
- "The Emperor's New Clothes"

FILLMORE, Calif. -- Two young California condors were released into
the remote coastal mountains, becoming the first of the once nearly
extinct giant vultures to live anywhere but in a zoo in nearly five
years. The birds were hatched last spring at zoos.

I am taking a statistical physics course right now, and have compiled
the funniest quotes from this class. All quotes are from John Thorstensen,
the professor. He likes to keep the class lively...
"Manually operated analog scribing device" (description of chalk)
"In fact, entire math departments have been known to go off the
deep end" (on infinite real numbers)
"Yup, you're losing your marbles." (on a statistical problem involving
marbles in a jar)
"This, incidently, works great if you're color blind." (probabability
of picking a red or green marble)
"Uh, that's the same equation."
"Now you have to pound the table, and jump up and down."
"Good day to get a little extra sleep."
"You use little itty bitty nails, and nail the atoms down." (on how
to measure the number of states they can be in)
"We can throw out constant factors as we want."
"I didn't know Maxwell had thermodynamic relations...I guess he got around."
Avogadro's number..avocado's?"
"Factorials of Avogadro's number become intractable."
"And what is this? Can you say ENTROPY?"
"It's just a..it's just a word."
"Then they have to come out, and cut you off with a blowtorch."
(on the hazards of licking a cold flag pole)
"Which in decimals is 1.66666...which is the mark of the devil."
"Enthalpy, which in Greek stands for E+pV."
"This will become unclear in time."
"George Q. Enthalpy, little known physicist."
"cross derivatives? angry derivatives!...perturbed..."
"You all are probably wondering what all this stuff is good for."
"I'm tenured, there's almost nothing you can do about it."
(after making a mistake in sign convention)
"The Joule-Thompson Throttling. Now you can't throttle them,
they're dead." (an experiment)
