Well I finally got my birthday gift from my aunt. It's about a month-and-a-half late though, because she had to track it down somewhere.

I am now the proud owner of Volumes I and II of Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Best. Aunt. Ever.

I simply can't relate. Physics makes my brain hurt.

Woot
Subatomic physics goodness!
Look at that plate spin in the air, maybe electrons do that too.

Feynmann is responsible for my favor science related anecdote. During a lecture on fundamental forces, he was talking about gravity. He made the comment "Gravity is a weak force, in fact, it's damn weak!" For emphasis, he smacked the podium in front of him. By an interesting coincidence, at the same time, one of the light fixtures gave away, and the light crashed to the floor of the hall. Without missing a beat, he continued "Weak... but still of consequence."
