Must be one of those 'liberal arts' things...

So the partial derivative of some vector quantity with respect to time plus the dot product of the same vector quantity x whatever the delta stands equals....takes me back to the days of vector calc and taylor series solutions to equations describing damped spring mass thingies. Can't say I miss those days. I remember staring at an exam question on the final in one of those classes and writing "Go Huskies!" for the solution. I think the prof gave me at lest a point for my answer..

How can anybody die in a 'cartoon clash'? Nobody dies even when they fall off a cliff and an anvil lands on their head...

Incompressible fluid flow how apropos!

It's the geek way of saying 'So, how about them Bruins?'

[underworld]

 

the greek way to say "how bout them bruins"

Invincibility applies only to muslim coyotes.

You guys are so fucking smart in so many subjects it's mind-boggling.

[foraker]

But we all secretly covet your stash of explosives and your army of minions.

I'm pretty much a jack of all trades. For example, I write the MENSA exams. And, I know cook an egg. I teach an online class on how to chew gum and walk at the same time at Phoenix University.

I can break out of chinese fingercuffs.

 

Let me know when you guys solve this Islamic problem. You seem so close, I'm surprised the state department hasn't been in touch. Perhaps boring them to sleep with unnecessary paragraphs of sarcasm is the best solution.

[olyclimber]

It always amazes me that more people don't realize the true path to the soul: sarcasm

But then, yall aren't a jack of all trades like me.

Nah, I think we'll wait for barbed jabs from a cartoon character avatar.

[Cobra_Commander]

haahah! While my unique angle as a mediocre PNW climber-nerd with expensive liberal arts degrees certainly qualifies me to provide a solution, I think I'll pass.

[olyclimber]

Well fine then, I'll just have to carry this "Successor to Ghandi" mantle all by my self.

Maybe you can derive an equation which quantifies the relationship between tuition and retorts. It'd be interesting to see which local institution offering catering to WSU caliber students at Harvard-level prices produced the most favorable jab-per-thousand metrics.

[olyclimber]

ya, those stoopid liberal colleges don't teach you anything. besides, i learned all I needed to know while reading Sears catalogue in the outhouse.

[Dechristo]

whoa... Sears and Roebuck, Ivy league. I got my larnin' from a community college Monkey Wards.

[JayB]

Oh come one now Porter. It's not the education I'm poking fun at, it's the price you pay for what you get.

 

Thankfully most of these schools operate on a two-track system, where 1/2 of the students are mediocre rich kids that pay full tuition and subsidize the bright half that attend the schools on scholarships and grants - so the only people that should take offense are those that forked over the full 30g's a year for the privilege of attending Whitworth et al.

[foraker]

Met plenty of rich kids who spent daddy's money doing nothing but getting drunk and high for four years at some expensive school. You couldn't ask for a better argument for non-inheritance of wealth (not that I'm advocating it, I'm just sayin'...)

[foraker]

oooh. thread drift.

[Dechristo]

I, and the editors of the "Women's Under-Garments" section of the catalog, are deeply offended.
