You Might Be a Physics Student If

  • you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
  • you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
  • you chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."
  • you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
  • you always do homework on Friday nights.
  • you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
  • you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
  • you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
  • you have a pet named after a scientist.
  • you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
  • you can translate English into binary.
  • you can't remember what's behind the science-building door that says "Exit."
  • you have to bring a jacket with you in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
  • you consider ANY non-science course "easy."
  • when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely that, according to Heisenberg, it could be anywhere in the universe.
  • you assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
  • you understood more than five of these indicators.
  • you made a hard copy of this list and posted it on your door.
