I guess when in England you have to do it the English way.

Here is a link to the UK mars mission

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3741989.stm

Just looking at the head guy you could tell the mission was bound to fail.  I can't imagine him getting a job at NASA


I can...

And what are "English units"?  We use metric.

CG - you really are a lousy doctor aren't you!!!!   So basically your medical advice for dealing with stress is

1.  Dont go running
2.  Drink more booze
3.  Eat lots of food


You forgot the 2-3 cigarettes in there as well...

Status: offline 		Craig will be pleased to hear that I have decided on the following actions for tonight.

1.  A 10km/6 mile run.
2.  A large meal of pasta with a nice rich home made sauce
3.  Crack open a bottle of southern French wine (can't remember the name)
4.  No cigarettes.

My lungs win (excercise, no cigs).  My heart wins (excercise, red wine), my stomach wins (excercise, nice food, nice wine).  However, due to the freezing, wet weather I may die of pnuemonia in two days.

I actually work with some rocket scientists and trust me, they are not smart people.

This is the bunch of UK rocket scientists who created a robot to land on Mars - and instead it flew all the way to Mars and then just plummeted to the ground.  15 years of work obliterated in seconds.  Top work fellas.

So, the lesson of the day - rocket scientists are not smart.




I'm going to tell my wife you told her that she is not smart.  Believe me, next time we're in London, she'll find you and kick your arse (after she gets you drunk on some nice Bordeaux).  BTW, she's also a runner so it is unlikely you'll be able to outrun her.


My wife is also a rocket scientist ... she, too, is a runner ... lucky for you, Paul, she is a pacifist ... until she gets drunk, then all bets are off.

Not trying to jinx you but due to the freezing, wet weather you might also slip and break your leg while running..  :)  That's why just the food and wine part is the best idea.

Status: offline 		Hello to everyone!

The forum has been really busy the last two days.  Some great threads have been started. 

Either everyone has not much work to do, which means the economy isn't getting any better, or people just don't want to do much work, which means the economy won't get much better. 

At least we all have wine to drink.

My read is that people work so they can enjoy life, so even when the going is tough they still want to have fun - and not just Girls

And of course on CT we want more than our fair share;)

PS  Hope none of our colleagues are having a really bad time.

You are probably right.  We all need an escape from the daily grind.  Lord knows I do, and I work from home.

Status: offline 		I was in San Francisco (if you ever travel there, don't call it "Frisco" to the natives as they will likely burn you at the stake for doing so), for the last 4 years until recently I moved back down to Southern California to be closer to family and old friends.

I have finals coming up pretty quick, so no life for me until January ... but after that, perhaps I will try to round-up the troops and get us together for an offline.

nah ... slow at work.  If I'm responsible (big "if"), you guys and gals won't see me around here much in the first 3 weeks of December ... Dec. 9 is first final, Dec. 19th is the last.  I cannot wait for 10:30 pm, Dec. 19th!

Status: offline 		Come on Grafs....gotta have the CT fix and you'll need a mental break during studying.  If  you don't mind me asking, what are you getting your degree in?  What school?  Bachelors or Masters?

Fingers and I have discussed doing that very thing for a little while now.  We were thinking about getting together for the next VT, if not sooner.  The So Cal contingent of CT is definitely growing.

I think one of the local wine bars would love to host our next VT.  As long as there's wi-fi we can Skype for the whole group.

Law.  Loyola.

Whenever somebody tells me they've been "thinking about" going into law school I tell them not to do it unless they really want to ... it's miserable...well, some of it is interesting, but the exams (where you have to memorize a whole freakin' textbook) really suck big time and are not at all a reflection of what it is actually like to practice law (i've worked in a few different law offices over the past 4 years, so i've seen the practical side of things).

Would love to get together as soon as we all can do it ... next CTVT would be good ... although a red or two might just have to show up!

That is exactly how I feel about medicine.  And then, even if they really want to go to medical school, they should it over again.  It's not just the four miserable years of school.  You have at least threee and probably closer to 5 years of residency and fellowship...only slightly better than indentured servitude...during which you slowly alienate your friends and family by being too tired or too busy to return their calls and emails.  Good thing I love my job (and my friends and family are very forgiving).
