This thread actually should be posted in Physic and Math..
to be noticed by Ben

Hello Ben, my questions are:

• Since when you started to like physics & math?
• What other topics you like beside physics & math?
• Where do you think you are best at, physics or math?
• I read somewhere back then, you publish some scientific journal or paper (?), how many and where?
• How old are you?
• Who do you think is the best poster in physics & math subforum? pls name 3 of them and explain why.

Thanks.

 

Are you really 'The man' ?

God no.

Hmmm. Bathroom at a party?

Ahh. My mom found this shark's tooth on the beach when she first moved to Galveston (Texas) with my dad. He wore it around his neck for about 20 years, and now it is mine

I have pedicures occasionally. Untill I lost my big toenail about six months ago...I'm waiting for it to grow back.

My dog, Lefty. He's laying in the sun looking at me right now.
Picture.

A pothead dishtowel? Why would anyone NOT have that as an avatar?

 

No... ask my dad.

Of sorts, I guess. I'm more of a redneck...a walking Jeff Foxworthy joke.

 

Actually I was quite flattered. I never imagined that I was popular enough

Some sort

I have a B.S. in Chemistry, a M.S. in Physics, and am working towards the PhD (Physics, 2008ish?) at Ohio State University in Columbus.

Riht now it is partly cloudy, wind out of the ENE, about 50 F. The Gulf (of Mexico) is a bit rough but mostly laid down.

It was pretty good. I got to spend four days or so in South Texas deer hunting and drinking beer with my dad. My girlfriend drove down from Houston to see me last night, and I have been working on a talk that I have to give on Jan 26 for the grad students at OSU.

Absolutely. Drinking beer, playing guitar, and blowing shit up... Aside from deriving something, I don't know what could be better.

Hmmm. I have a very...eclectic taste in music. If I really want to get down, some Stevie Ray Vaughan or 13th Floor Elevators normally does the trick.

Six feet and some change.

Actually, I really dig girls with dark skin and black hair, like Mexican/Central American, Phillipinos/Pacific Islanders. But having to choose one of the three, I gotta go with brunettes. Of course, the irony is, my girlfriend is about as white as they come (Swedish descent), with blonde hair.

Hmmm. As far as boobs are concerned, anything more than a handful is being greedy. Give me legs and asses

Well, I have kind of a long history. I started out in chemistry, with plans to get a MS in Chemical Engineering. Then I decided I hated engineering, and had aspirations to go to grad school for chemistry. Then I decided I hated Chemistry, but by this point it was too late---I was going to a private school (~$20000 a year) and couldn't afford to change my major. Luckily, I had enough classes to qualify for minors in math and physics. I kind of took a long shot going to grad school for physics, but it worked out. So, I have ALWAYS been interested in math and physics, but I have been studying these things exclusively for about 6 years.

Outside of the sciences, I like Politics and World Events. I rarely post in these forums, though, because (as Richard Feynman put it) ``A physicist talking about stuff that isn't physics is just as dumb as the next guy.'' Nonetheless, you will find me putting my foot in my mouth more often than not.

I'm actually pretty poor at math because I haven't studied that much of it. Because my undergraduate degree isn't in physics, I have kind of shaky foundations in stuff that I should know. Ex: There is a thread in physics and math where some guy asked about relativistic forces and I gave a COMPLETELY wrong answer. But there are some things which I know very well---quantum field theory, particle physics, etc.

In physics I have four publications that nobody reads (note that there are very few citations!). In Chemistry I have two publications:

http://as.osa.org/abstract.cfm?id=122284

28.

Hmm. Actually I'm going to plead the fifth. Suffice it to say that there are several posters in that forum who I admire, and a few who I do not.

 

Hmmm. Are these things that anyone would admit to

Wow, Ben.. this is really impressive.... I got the impression you are intellect,
humble, and could be fun at the same time

Ben is your real name :bugeye: I clicked those links (cool!) but I don't have a single clue
even what's the titles mean. I rarely visit physics & math subforum for this reason. Though I hope in the future we can get to know more many of them.

Somebody rings the bell, thanks for taking tmie, come up with more questions later/tmrow

 

Have you ever fucked a sheep as long as you wanted to?

Are you stupid or something?

 

They kick too much. I prefer democrats.

 

If you had a choice of saving your wife or your son which one would you save?

 

Well, I've neither, but I think I would choose my son. I would hope that my wife would want the same.

 

nice
i see good things
sci will help you refine shit. spread yourself out in here

 

Have you ever kissed a non-relative male?
What movie has made you cry?
Have you ever had your mouth washed out with soap?
What US State have you never been to that you would like to?
Can you fillet a fish?

 

Yes, for a bottle of scotch. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hmmm. Dead Poet's Society. Cool Hand Luke. Black Hawk Down. The Alamo. I'm pretty emotional, actually.

No, but it was doused with Tobasco sause once. Now I can't get enough of the stuff.

Alaska---elk, moose, salmon, halibut...sounds like my kind of place

I can filet them, I can steak them, I can skin them and debone them. I know where all the good parts are that you normally throw away---the cheeks on kingfish, throats on red snapper, the tuna belly (Japanese call it toro).
