Physics in a roundabout way

[variola_vera]

Or maybe not so roundabout. Actually, this post will have almost nothing to do with physics, beyond my loathing for classical Newtonian f=ma stuff. Anyhoo. I will never again be able to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. Ever again. Not a single episode. Why? Because my physics professor's children watch it. And so she knows the characters and the

Dude, in my fucking health and wellness book, white people are non-existant. I long for the days when examples used a "susan" or a "dan". If Manuel, or Kimiko are wishing to quit their smack addiction or nymphomania, I'd rather it be a name I can pronounce on the fly. That or not be ofended for their fictional sakes. Okay, and having watched Avatar, and being a fan of it, it seems stupid to use physics examples when in said universe. Child of 12 is running up a virtical wall. Using "magic". That show dosen't use physics so much as ignore the fact that they even exist. I like the Red Dwarf examples though. Personally, I'd just write "you are a smeg head" and punch the lady in the face. Or shove her out an air lock if previous example proves to be too messy.

Yeah, I can see how that'd ruin Avatar for you. I had a teacher who did that with South Park stuff, (strangely enough, it was Physics) and I couldn't look at Cartman and his addiction to cheesy poofs the same way ever again. Yay for stupid physics professors trying to be cool! You'd think they'd give up after a while, wouldn't you? Physics is so not cool, so stop trying to be!

And that last comment made me roll on the floor with laughter. I think you totally should've done that, just to see what would happen. :D
