On a frictionless plane in space...


I'm terrible sorry about the post on Friday. I've spoken with the new guy about it. Let's just say that he has been warned. He won't be pulling another stunt like that again.

In other news, I am currently in talks with some people about starting up a new blog. BeRadical will stay on the web, but it probably won't be updated. Ever again. Don't worry, this won't be taking place for about a month or two. We still have some things to discuss, like a site name and how the responsibilities will be divvied up. I'm hoping it will look a lot like what I have here, just better.

Anyway, here's a little joke for you physics people out there. If you don't get it, leave a comment and I can explain it on Wednesday.

A farmer is having problems with his chickens. All of a sudden, they begin to get very sick and he doesn't know what is wrong with them. After trying all conventional means, he calls a biologist, a chemist, and a physicist to see if they can figure out what is wrong. So the biologist looks at the chickens, examines them a bit, and says he has no clue what could be wrong with them. Then the chemist takes some tests and makes some measurements, but he can't come to any conclusions either. So the physicist tries. He stands there and looks at the chickens for a long time without touching them or anything. Then all of the sudden he starts scribbling away in a notebook. Finally, after several fierce calculations, he exclaims, 'I've got it! But it only works for spherical chickens in a vacuum.'

Have a great Monday everyone.
