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

    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:

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

      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

                  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

                                          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
