Do you know what time it is!?

Well, as I'm writing this, the clock on the wall here shows 3:33 AM.
This, surprisingly, might or might not be the right time...Apparently there is a theory that states : "The time you are at depends upon the relative motion of light around you and whether or not you are eating lunch."

The theory goes on to explain how time, speed, gravity, mass, light and lunch are all inter-related and even states a bold but simple equation.

T = ( 4*(3.14) * g * l * c + 42) / ( M * r/2)

T is the relative time you are at, to be added to or subtracted from the Time zone you are living in/ate lunch at, depending upon the sign of the resultant term.

3.14 is pi. It has to be present in every self-respected scientist's equation.

'g' is the gravitational constant of the planent you ate lunch at. For example, if you dined at the quadri-cuisine restaurant at Gittejiche, a planet at the far end of the nebula, 'g' will take a value of '-36.23'.

'l' is the 'chow-dependent universal constant' = 34.5 for Indian food,
= 21.3 for Mexican food,
= 11.6 for Chinese food
= -143.02 if you ate at MacDonalds,
= -21323.50 if you ate at KFC.

'c' is the speed of light.

'42' is the answer.

'M' is the mass of the person in question before eating lunch. (For the female sex, it is calculated after eating lunch. This is one point that is not covered in great detail, but has something to do with the fact that females talk more than they eat. Yeah, I didn't get it either.)

'r' is the number of items in the menu, or the number of people eating, if there exists no menu.

[end-of-theorem]

Ah well. Wow! Now the clock says 3:49 AM. Where did all the time go? Oh yeah, I ate at MacDonalds yesterday. No wonder!

Buckethead rocks. I've been listening to him all day long. Beautiful music.
And at times like this(yes, early morning times) it sounds wonderful.
Can't believe he likes KFC though.

A couple of updates on the college front :

.End-project. The final viva was today. No presentation. As hijake was saying, '200 marks in 7 minutes! What the fuck!!!'
Unbelievably, he over-estimated the time. Most batches were inside the interview/viva room for less than two minutes. Beastu and I managed to talk for an entire half minute before we were asked to leave. So 200 marks in 2 minutes! I'm at a loss for words.
Everything just reinstates my absolute confidence in the fact that the system is flawed and cannot improve. Nothing matters anymore though! We are finished. The end. Goodbye college. Good riddance. Hasta La Vista. Sayonara. Adieu. Farewell. Toodle-oo. Thanks for nothing.

Ah. That felt good.

.Exams in one week or so.
We know nothing, but what the heck! We never learnt anything in college anyway.

4:00 AM now. I'm intermittently reading up on some weird stuff off wikipedia. What an amazing concept Wikipedia is. Whoever would have thought a free-for-all-to-edit encyclopedia would revolutionize learning(and provide material for desperate project-report writers)!

I just thought of something...Since the four of us will be leaving college this year, we'd like to post a few guest posts here about the current college students' experiences. (Preferably from CSE students It'll be nice to carry this on as a tradition. But others are welcome here as well!)
How about it? It'll be nice to see a few fresh faces here as well. (And, of course, to read the few extra comments that might come in then.)
So, anyone interested, please leave a blog link or profile link here. And a link to sample posts. We will, of course, pick only the best!

We'll upload a few photos of us pretty soon. Next month, maybe. And some of college and farewells and final exams too if we can!

Oh well, I'd better kip now, before people start waking up.
Ta.

our project viva session was amazing

time is really relative...we went in and spent what seemed like 3 eons only to come out and get questioned by friends -'what happened...didnt they ask you any questions' and 'viva cancelled??'

Sounds just like that snapped guitar string

zaphod, your equation does not accurately calculate the relative time.Research shows relative time is also effected by other factors like boredom coefficient(B), drowsiness index(Di) etc.
