my general chemistry professor put a lighter to a balloon full of hydrogen. dude nearly lit himself.

My chemistry professor had the lighter on a very long stick. Because he's smart like that.

Actually he did the demo three times with different ratios of hydrogen and oxygen IIRC.

my professor used a camping lighter, and partially crawled under a desk to do it. he's lucky the projector screen didn't catch, it was like two feet from the balloon.

I'm at Beijing airport and the gate has the same flight number but different destination from my ticket.

Woohoo! The magical mystery tour begins!

Engrish or perhaps a multidestination flight?

[karajorma]

Nope. The chinese also says the same destination. The people on the gate are now saying the flight is to the destination on my ticket but the plane is now delayed due to bad weather.

* karajorma looks up at blue skies.

Maybe they mean at the destination but people there tell me it rained a little earlier and has stopped now and the flight is too short to have much bad weather in between.

Ironically I'd probably be there already if I'd taken the train instead.

I remember the physics professors at my school having a contest to see who could put the biggest dents in the lecture hall ceiling with a magnetic ring launcher (what they were justifying this as was a demonstration that electrical resistance decreases at lower temperatures: the colder the ring, the higher it would fly when electrified).

And our chemistry lab was quickly derailed the day they allowed us to play with liquid nitrogen. 'Nuff said.

College can be very fun.

[karajorma]

They finally updated the board to the correct place.

Of course it's AFTER the plane would have left if it had been on time and therefore useless to everyone but that's not too surprising.

And college professors want us to believe they're not as immature as the rest of us...

Hah, my father is a college professor (and a, widely-respected in UK circles, doctor) of Civil Engineering. And he's one of the most immature (in a kid-like way) men I know. All of my professors tend towards immaturity as well, but that could be a biological sciences thing

DEER! BANG! mmmm, foood!

you know what really helps with depression? crack! and crystal meth too! yay!

Just got released from my NDA over the Star Ruler beta, as it is actually releasing very soon

Congrats to Blind Mind Studios on their first commercial release are in order

now im horny antlery

We got the entire pre-game lineup on the field (if not in presentable game-day fashion), and we got our first piece of show music.  Jump by Van Halen.

Oh, it's going to be a good year.

[Klaustrophobia]

our band did that my freshman year.  they did a whole van halen show.  it sounded like ****.  terrible arrangements.  jump was the only one remotely recognizable

[Scotty]

Yeah, well, your band must have sucked (unless it was a high school band, and then that's kind of a given).

The K-State band is freaking amazing.

[Aardwolf]

AUGHHHHH.

Bad day.

[Snail]

my day hasnt been too hot either

[Nuke]

my mom is angry because of the amount of venison on the menu, so i sent her to bed without dinner.

[Klaustrophobia]

my roommate is trying to get me to tag team one of his hoes with him...
