[QUOTE=nashiitashii] It shouldn’t be taken with you to the kitchen and left in the refrigerator either. :smack: I’ve done that on a few occasions. [/QUOTE] Thank Og it’s not just me who does that!

[QUOTE=David Simmons] Yes, going someplace in the house and then standig there puzzled as to why you went there is common. It still pisses me off. Almost as bad as looking for the TV remote[sup]1[/sup]. 1 which should always be left in the place from which you watch TV and never taken down in the basement or into the garage. [/QUOTE] When my mother does that, there’s two places it can be in: under her ass or in her hand. ---

[QUOTE=David Simmons] I remember Avogadro’s Number, but I can’t remember why I went into the kitchen. [/QUOTE] You have to have your priorities in life. I mean, without Avogadro’s Number you’re not going to know what the definition of a mole is (and thus, no way to connect the behavior of objects on the atomic scale with those on the macro scale), but what really do you need from the kitchen? A blender? [QUOTE=Chronos] The sandwich shop on campus here is called Avagadro’s Number. Their phone number is the standard campus exchange, plus 6023. [/QUOTE] I’ve long wanted to open a restaurant called πie (or e[sup]iπ[/sup] or some other variation). Only in the abstract, though; I’d rather dig trenches than work in the food service business again, and I’d have to move to St. Louis to use π as a phone number. Stranger ---

I get values of 6.02257, 6.0221415, and 6.02214179 for the first factor. What’s the straight dope on the exact figure? I hear there’s a +/- uncertainty factor of 0.0000003. ---

There is a mysterious floating cloud of forgetrons that moves around our shop. It gets between whoever is farthest from the tool room and said tool room. When you walk from your work table to get something, you must pass through the cloud. Those little basid forgetrons steal the thought of what you were going to get, so back to the work table and the cloud gives back the memory…repeat all day long. ---

[QUOTE=nashiitashii] I had a friend in high school who once left his size 13 shoes in the fridge and the orange juice bottle in the bedroom closet. [/QUOTE] That brings to mind a really old Peanuts series of strips. Charlie Brown lost a library book. For the next few strips he agonized all over the house about what was going to happen to him because of the book. Then he found it, to his great relief. “I LOOKED IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND THERE IT WAS!” ---

[QUOTE=nashiitashii] This is why I want one of those Real Simple grocery list thingies. It actually has the most common groceries listed on there with checkboxes, and then there’s lots of little fill-in-the-blank spots as well.
