Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, is my job annoying right now. Luckily, for the moment I can focus on Rhianna on my TV.

They pay me in WOIMS

The problem is that we know that General Relativity is correct, it has been shown in observations to be correct to six decimal places.

However, we also know that Quantum Electrodynamics is correct, it has been shown in experiments to be correct to ten or eleven decimal places.

And the two theories are incompatible with each other. They both can't be right.

I should also note that Brian Greene likes carrots.

I am wasting time today by looking at art on art.com .

And the two theories are incompatible with each other. They both can't be right.

This makes me think of the use of "quants" in the field of financial analysis, which is one reason the economy is in the tank.

Yep, which is why everything breaks down in black holes and the big bang, you need both to explain it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Doesn't that list just seem like professions than women and men are most likely to hold? That is, I am sure there are way more female AA's than male, based on my non-scientific observance of my coworkers. (and the males always very quickly get another title).
