Yesterday, during Physics class, we tried to use as many Beatles references as possible during our discussion of the lesson. It got to the point that “You don’t get credit for that idea, because that wasn’t a Beatles reference”. Highly entertaining. We were calculating forces in a dart gun. Here are a few of my favourites:
…which equals xmaxwell’s silver hammer.
What are the forces when I feel my finger on it’s trigger?
…when distance is at 64.
…when the gun goes “Bang bang shoot shoot”.
I had fun.
In other news, on my history test, I couldn’t remember the name of the Senator that came up with the Missouri Compromise, so I wrote Paul McCartney. Do you think Mrs. Johnson will accept that answer?
Other amusing Physics quotes:
That was pretty cool. Everybody got t-shirts. That’s the real important thing, you know. –Mr. Taylor
They are doing a bunch of creepy things at MIT. Stay away from there. –Mr. Loh
I was going to cut the tags off, but then I saw that they said “Do not use near water”, so I decided to leave them on. –Mr. Taylor, as we embarked on our lab where we stuck lit light bulbs into cups of water.
