    Read a quantum mechanics book willingly over the summer, when it had nothing to do with college. I think I win. :p

    Memorize enough digits of pi to be impressive but not weird.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Mr.Lizard


    I typed '58008' into a calculator and then turned it upside down.

    Then I typed 'boobs' into google and pulled my pants down.

    Ok, you win. That's dedication on a grand scale! All I did was make a penis out of the uneaten mashed potato in a restaurant once........!

    Pffft, just remember the pneumonic;

    How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics. All of thy geometry, Herr Planck, is fairly hard.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Oh dear, where do we start...

    - Memorized quite a lot of digits of pi
    - Had a /played time on WoW that was somewhere up around 4-5 months
    - Have done maths for fun on many occasions
    - Read physics books for fun
    - Probably 3/4 of my subscribed Reddits are related to either computing, maths or science

    and far too many more besides... No wonder I'm single.

    I've done that a lot. I was frantically looking for a word so I continually thinking of pressing ctrl+f.

    I used to play Pokemon so much when I was younger I left the class and wanted to save the game.

    Keep it country Ya'll.

    I still kick or punch things when they don't work. The onlu reason my current PC doesn't get a beating is because it's so damned expecsive.

    A friend of mine recognised a staff member from GAME on a night out, and shouted this at him. And then the guy recognised him back. I don't know why he did this, or would admit to it!
