    Geologist and engineer here.

    Rock nerds are the WORST.

    :angry: I hate you.

    Your lies make the angels weep.

    Okay, you're right. I can't hate you.

    Degree in Genetics, work as an industrial hygienist (pocket protectors AND high water pants).

    And no, an industrial hygienist does not clean out gear teeth.

    I have a sound level meter on my phone...

    Big science nerd here. :3

    Although I'm afraid I don't have a degree (yet)- currently applying for vet school. Into everything anatomy, chemistry and physics related.

    Have you all been keeping an eye on http://www.redbullstratos.com/? Just two days left to go until (fingers crossed) the relaunch!

    Let x = y
    Multiply by x: x^2 = xy
    Subtract y^2: x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2
    Factor: (x + y) (x - y) = y (x - y)
    Common term (x - y) on both sides, so cancel it out.
    Leaves: x + y = y
    But x = y, so substitute to get: y + y = y
    Combine: 2 y = y
    Common term (y) on both sides, so cancel it out.
    2 = 1

    Love this thread.

    Going on a hiking trip to extract some Extremophiles (namely, Halophiles) out in the desert this weekend. All part of a NASA-grant at my school. Excited. :bigsmile:

    Journalist here and I cover science and medicine. Worked for the Journal of the American Medical Association. Science writing fellowship at MIT.
    Contrarian and SofaKingRad: Break it up, you two. Neither of you can really claim to have it over the other guy, after all, one of you looks like a baboon and the other is a geologist.
