"You might be a Physics Student...

* if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
* if you enjoy pain.
* if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
* if you chuckle whenever anyone says 'centrifugal force.'
* if you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
* if when you look in a mirror, you see a physics student.
* if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
* if you frequently whistle the theme song to 'MacGyver.'
* if you always do homework on Friday nights.
* if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.

* if you have a pet named after a scientist.
* if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
* if the Humane Society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
* if you can translate English into Binary.
* if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says 'Exit.'

* If you are completely addicted to caffeine.
* if you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
* if you consider ANY non-science course 'easy.'
* if when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
* if the 'fun' center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
* if you'll assume that a 'horse' is a 'sphere' in order to make the maths easier.
# if you understood more than five of these indicators.
