Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Planck's Constant: Mrs. Planck relieved"
Which is actually a rip-off from a line from a Barbara Hambly book.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"I've Got Avogadro's Number"
My brother actually wrote a song with that title. At the time, he and I were the only 2 people who (1) got it, and (b) found it HILARIOUS, for lo, we are humongous dorks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. My friend Gary has a song which includes Pi, Planck's constant and Avogodro.

I like imagining their inner lives too much.
I'm pretty sure most mathematicians have favorite numbers. I myself, though not a mathematician, assign them personalities. This may be why I'm not a mathematician, but there you are.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
He showed up to the mediation with his mother and his lawyer.
heh. when I dealt with student grievances, if someone mentioned the word lawyer, I said "if you want this to rise to legal action, I will call the General Counsel's office right now and get this off my desk. Be aware that the GC' priority for grievance matters is pretty low, so it may take several months to resolve."
Student showed up with a parent to a grievance, told them that they had to wait outside. Mother threw a fit, I just looked at her and told her that our policy was very clear and that I'd told her kid that she couldn't be there. She paused and said "you told him that?" I said yes. She turned to her kid, and he said "yeah, but I didn't think it was a big deal" I think at that point she figured out that she may not have the whole story, so she backed down.

In this case, the campus mediator was running the meeting because when she'd turned him in for cheating, that office then runs the show so (supposedly) everyone gets the same treatment. My sister just wanted to be rid of him, thus the offer of a make up exam she was sure he couldn't pass. So he's gone, and the mediator thinks her offer was "exceedingly generous".
The students here start exams today.
