At the tutoring session yesterday, we were talking about whether the center of gravity is the same as the center of mass, and how to use it to calculate torque stuff that your body does.
It devolved into a discussion of how far you have to stick out your butt when powerlifting (which is something the tutor does). This afternoon I looked on the internet to see if his recent record was posted. It wasn't, but I discovered that in addition to working at Mass General, being our tutor, and powerlifting for fun, he apparent is (or was) Tom Turbo, one man freak show.

Using the online revolutions to radians conversion calculator won't be an option during the test

This morning I spent a little while looking over

ataralas's paper
http://arxiv.org/abs/0803.2195
and being pleased to learn about scintillation, which I had to look up (although once I did so, the expression "Van der Waals forces" sounded vaguely familiar). Dark matter only gets one paragraph in my Physics text book, and not until about 800 pages from now.
