Ahh, the original Jon Snow - whom I first heard about while watching a documentary on the construction of London's sewer system in order to combat cholera (IIRC). But winter IS coming - are you saying the world is going to end before June 1 next year

? I like that the weather is getting warmer and brighter, but I swear early spring just causes me to sneeze like crazy, and I have to take large wads of tissues to uni every day.
In my first-year physics lectures, we had these interactive multiple-choice questions which we responded to through the use of 'clickers'. The lecturer who taught us about the properties of waves and harmonic motion often put a joke answer as one of the options; the two most memorable being the following:
1. What is the net force on the spring at point B, and why?
Answer: Midichlorians are zero, therefore the force is zero.
2. An alien is attempting to catch a fish in a river using a spear. Assuming the refractive index of water is greater than that of air, where should the alien aim the spear?
Answer: Any sufficiently advanced civilisation would never resort to killing another sentient organism for nutrition.
