Two Cats sitting on a roof. Which one falls off first? The one with the smaller mu! OK, now how many people get that?

Me neither, but I didn't want to be the first to admit it. ;P

Cats Mew Mu = Co-efficient of friction Less friction = slides off roof! See, who says physicists don't have a sense of humour!

Oh...:^) When I studied it we used a different notation: Ff (friction force) = N (normal force) * μ (friction coefficient)

That's pronounced as "mu"....:)

hmm :-) well, if that's the extent of it... Years ago, I sent a joke I made up to the physics dept at MIT (or was it Princeton? Can't remember now... ) - they were asking for physics jokes for something they were doing - went like this: Q: How many Gods does it take to change a light bulb? A: One, in theory, but look what happened last time He tried! I thought it was quite funny (flash, big bang an' all...) but they wrote back saying they didn't get it! :sigh:

Wanted: Schroedinger's cat
Dead AND alive"Erwin, what have you been doing to the poor cat? It looks half dead!"
Heisenberg takes his new car for a spin when he's stopped by a traffic cop. The cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Heisenberg proclaims, "No, but I know exactly where I am."A proton, a neutron and an electron walk into a bar and ask for drinks. "Drinks are $3 each" says the bartender.
"But we only have $6 between us!" says the electron.
"Don't worry," says the proton, "there's no charge for the neutron"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive"Cheers, विक्रम

*laughs hysterically* Why did the chicken cross the road? Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends on your frame of reference.
Why did the teacher wear sunglasses to class? Because her students were so bright! What do you get when you cross a teacher with a vampire? Blood tests! What's the difference between boogers and broccoli? Kids wont eat broccoli! Which knight helped King Arthur build his round table? Sir Cumference! Why was the obtuse angle upset? Because he was never right! What's a polygon? A dead parrot!

µ / mu is commonly used for friction coefficient.

I love that stuff. Shame you can't get much of it in India. On the rare occassions I go to Pizza Hut, I ask for a salad with extra broccoli. The Sir Cumference joke is very good. :-D
