UMBC, two from my mentors in the lab where I intern over the summer.

<p>Congrats!!!!!! :)</p>

<p>So you mean your writing score was a Gary Coleman, huh?</p>

<p>~waits for someone from STS or someone who otherwise knows me who'll get that joke~</p>

63

<p>yes, congratulations!</p>

<p><em>recognizes joke, because she's seen roughly 300 variations of it</em></p>

<p>okay, we're proud of you, it's hilarious, now find a new joke! :-P</p>

64

<p>Yeah, you're right, I'll just go back to making fun of Ehbrenmuffin-Frachenlachen games.</p>

<p>Sorry :(</p>

<p>P.S. Do you ever go to class, Kim?</p>

65

<p>I forgive you :)</p>

<p>and yes, I go to class. I had history today.</p>

66

<p>Ahhh, Kim, I'm impressed!! No wonder you got the Lingle ;)</p>

<p>So that's...three classes you had today?</p>

<p>I think I see us hijacking another thread so maybe it's best if we stop now and carry on our nonsensical banter (because really, what else do we do?) on AIM later or something.</p>

67

<p>Explain the joke?</p>

68

<p>Oh, of course--sorry.</p>

<p>Adam has done some research on brown dwarfs (note the plural form), which are essentially "failed stars"--they do not have the requisite mass to begin fusion. So when you said "less than stellar," he connected it first to brown dwarfs, and then to brown dwarves, and then (as usual, because this is seemingly the only joke he knows) to Gary Coleman.</p>

<p>And no, that's not three classes, that's one class. History. Second period.</p>

<p><em>stops hijacking thread</em></p>

69

<p>QuizQuick--Without offending anyone? I think not.</p>

<p>But of course, Kim is quick to offend regardless :p I'm impressed at your grasp of the basics, though! If you were to ask me to explain an EF game without blocks...Well, I'd just take the blocks anyway and build a tower.</p>
