And you thought we couldn't get nerdier.....

As Eric's PhD qualifier gets closer and closer, I've started to notice that our "nerd"-dom has been increasing. Here are a couple of instances that I think you might find very amusing (and/or incredibly nerdy)



1. Eric and I were mulling over the fact that we are complementary opposites on something (although I can't remember exactly what we were talking about) - a ying-and-yang some might say. But instead of going to this classic adage, Eric said, "I'm like Cosine and you're like Sine; square us and add us together, and we make one!"

2. Eric was on the couch practicing deriving first principles of various geophysics equations, while I was busy making myself a drink. I asked him if he was interested in a drink, and he said no. I responded with "Good thing, I don't want you drinking and deriving!" Badda bing!

  1. This reminds me of my favourite Eric story - when Jodie and I were first learning how to run and we were wondering how to combat boredom. Eric's solution was that we should pick a really big number and spend our time trying to figure out the square root. As if I can even figure out the square root of a SMALL number! Oh Eric. At least I like that he seems to think I'm smarter than I am!
