The exam was Basis of Human Anatomy and Physiology and one of the questions was "list the organs of the respiratory tract and describe thier functions" when I got to the lungs I wrote about gas exchange and what not, then wrote at the bottom "lungs also help humans float, which is useful in a shipwreck situation". It seemed like a function to me!

Which also reminds me, I have some really retro exercise books that look like they come from a 1950s school (I stole them from my dad so they actually might do). Anyway on the front it says

Name...............
Subject............
Form...............

So I wrote my name, anatomy and physiology and then put form: humanoid.

I'd say that was pretty geeky.

Re: What's the geekiest thing you said today?

I'm not a geek, i play IC, but my roomate plays wow and he just said with his headphones on... :

"i was standing there and i saw her turn around and i thought o great, someone is getting encapsulated... o wait nevermind, i got hit by a 10k cleave"

I have never played wow - but it was the most random geeky thing i've ever heard so i was laughing so hard he took his headphones off and asked me what was so funny...

what was so funny? i just started reading this f'n thread!

now he just said "my totums are uber" --- WTF is wrong with that game.

then i thought about some things i may have recently said on irc that if i were saying out loud into headphones might sound as geeky...... some things along the lines of = i think im next to explo or should i wait and increase overbuild first and build up my wizzies and agents while my mf's are finishing... and we prob need more ref stations soon to ramp up endurium production per tic...

im sure if he'd heard me say that crap out loud he'd be laughin too.

"if a parabolic arch with an angle of 45 degrees has a base 1400m long, what's the height of the arch?"

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

I Nfi.nate!!

Or 0,45X^2 thats the parabol but i'm no longer sure how you calculate the length of it tongue

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

walked up to the librarian today and asked "do you have any books on neurobiology, I'd like to read something intelligent, and it's just for fun too!"
