Quote of the Day: xkcd
From this comic:
MY HOBBY: Sitting down with grad students and timing how long it takes them to figure out that I'm not actually an expert in their field.
ENGINEERING:
[Our big problem is heat dissipation.]
Have you tried logarithms?
48 seconds
LINGUISTICS:
Ah, so does this Finno-Ugric family include, say, Klingon?
63 seconds
SOCIOLOGY:
Yeah, my latest work is on ranking people from best to worst.
4 minutes
LITERARY CRITICISM:
You see, the deconstruction is inextricable from not only the text, but also the self.
Eight papers and two books and they haven't caught on.
