Oh, and for the record, let it be shown that my A-Level Physics lab was held in Room 42

Fair enough.
Why are they all mechanics? Well, at least none of them are springs or pendula. Penduli? Who knows...

How can you even say the words!
apparently the speed of light is traditionally slower after lunch. Well, I suppose if it had a big dinner...

Density of the propogating medium and all that...forgive any typos, it's been nearly 10 years...

It's been 10 years since you made a typo? Well done! 
I'll never get the hang of them...

oh dear, my grandma's gone to pot too, apparently

Much like my spilling and !punctua'tion?
As long as your grandma hasn't gone onto the pot. Too many double meanings...

I've always wondered why she spends so long in that greenhouse

So, all you physics-y people........any advice for (advanced) high school physics? Or could you explain how they could possibly get the c-values for air resistance?

Cupid Stunt Posted Jan 22, 2003
My advice would be... learn the maths! It's been said to me many times,and it really is what needs to be done! No idea about the other thing though. What are c-values?

It's usually done experimentally in a wind tunnel.

Cupid Stunt Posted Jan 22, 2003
Yes, but what about the c-values?
(Sorry, couldn't resist).
Formal report has to be in today at 17:00, and the library won't get one of the books I need in till 11:00... Don't panic...
