<p>Cicero: I hate to bring up the most cliche of cliches, but what about ‘apple on the head’ = gravity? Whether it happened or not, that it scientific theory without math. Sure, phsyics and math are related; I just think the claim that “physics is all applied math” is… silly (Look at that fighting word).</p>
<p>Who is up for a Harvard waitlistee book group? If someone picks a book and ten of us agree to read it over the next three weeks… I know it won’t actually work with a new book, but how about a book everyone has read? Death in Venice, Macbeth… More suggestions? I’ll pick up “How Green Was my Valley” at the library and give it a go.</p>
<p>Agreed! Can’t guarantee I will actually start reading til after AP tests (especially since I am in the middle of Ovid) but three weeks should give enough time. </p>
<p>@Morgan I hear that a lot. I always feel like an old geezer when I say that I actually loved Great Expectations. It was actually one of the few Dicken’s that I did really enjoy. I’m pretty sure when my class read it in 9th grade I was the only one to read the whole thing rather than sparknotes it</p>
<p>@gcall: Well to each is one…makes the conversation more interesting :-). I really liked Macbeth and Frankenstein though the latter I just wanted some “oomph” it felt like something inexplicable was lacking when I finished the book.</p>
<p>YES! Spread the xkcd obsession! I may not always understand the physics and computer science ones, but still the greatest webcomic out there (the only one which has managed to hold my attention for more than a week)</p>

<li><p>Must have read “The Three Musketeers” if you claim that Dumas is one of your favorite authors.</p></li>
<li><p>Read “How Green Was My Valley” if you have any interest in writing.</p></li>
<li><p>Have at least 22 posts on College Confidential.</p></li>
<li><p>Read xkcd…every last one of them (This should be more of a requirement for life)

<p>@Morgan Definitely a fan of MacBeth, though my favorite Shakespeare has to be Othello. Although Merchant of Venice is wonderful in an amazingly hilarious rather than unbelievably dramatic way.</p>
