Third day in BNL
Posted July 9th, 2008 by MgcclI'm currently in BNL's high school research program(HSRP). The first day I wasn't approved on site because I was born in China, even though my citizenship is Australian.
Aww... sensitive country... background check...
No offense to all those waaaaaay too serious Chinese people who can't understand my sarcastic blog post and take a joke by saying.
"Sometimes, I wish I were never Chinese."
Everyone I know beside me is doing something with programming. They do statistics or writing programs control lasers or...
Uhh... why do I get to handle poisonous crystal(CdZnTe) and use radiation and some compressed gas to test do stuff with it's structure?
The last few days I'm doing nothing but safety training.
I didn't get to do any real work!
Some very funny thing happened today when someone mentioned using light store information.
Mgccl: so there is no waaaaaay... light can stores information... even if light is polarized...
kupo: individual photons can have spin
Mgccl: how can you make photons don't move around...
kupo: ?
dotCOMmie: Mgccl: you can make a buffer d:
Haha, buffer. Get it? Buffer and buffer.
My point is, a storage have to be able to keep it's contents. But light moves and hit surfaces and lose energy and GONE.
This is my temporary office at BNL.
Isn't it nice? I believe I have the biggest office out of all those high school researchers.
You want it? Too bad it isn't yours. Muhahahaha
Anyone who is also doing the HSRP and reading this, please go to cafeteria at lunch breaks, there are fun people from Shoreham-Wading River High School.
And of course....
Asian girls.
I saw one of the hottest1 Asian girl ever. She seems to be a Japanese college student.
So please come down to cafeteria and enjoy having expensive food2 and math with me and a few other people3!
Facebook believe I'm gay again.
Maybe is because I replied a wall post to another male. Guess straight guys not suppose to do that. I have to refrain myself from reply to other people's wall post.
- 1. As hot as the Jericho girl I once liked
- 2. Three 1 cm radius 6 cm in length sausage and 2 spoonful of mash potato = over $6.50
- 3. Only if you are from SWR or if you like math/computer science/games/math jokes

The Sheikquel
Posted March 17th, 2008 by MgcclOn Sunday, I joined a group in making a silent film for US History.
It's based on the original The Sheik(1921).
Plot:
The Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan (Nill) captured a British explorer chick Lady Diana Mayo (Sean) and want to have *crazy hot sex*. She/he escaped, but get captured by another Sheik(or Ninja--Chao). The Sheik brought his army and saved Diana. Diana expresses her love for The Sheik.
Conspiracy:I captured Sean, and the person in the car, Colin, who works with me, is the one who took me down. Why?... Is he republican?
Maybe... Nill hired me to capture Sean so he can save him/her. Maybe... Colin was Nill's secret undercover agent...
Or maybe... there is a part of my DNA says:
AACTTAGGGCMITCAAGTGG
Major conspiracy going on here...
I should get extra points for getting hit by a bat on the head.
A few notes:
0. i = Chao = 
1. Pizza for dinner. Every time I go to someone's house. I get pizza.
2. In the fighting scene, I was thumb war with Nill. It seems like we are just touching each other.
3. When we are shooting the car scene, Sean suggest we do it on 25A. It's a road with a lot of traffic.
4. When I push Sean in the car, I told him to put on the seat belt.
5. A lot of objects hit a lot of nuts on that day
6. A lot of your mum jokes
7. The owl is everywhere.
8. I wish my dad is a stripper, so I can borrow costumes from him.
9. Watch the end... that's what I call a tangent... actually secant, because they touch at 2 places... math jokes...
10. Those breasts feels real

A mathematical look into the limit joke
Posted February 21st, 2008 by MgcclEdit: Melis have removed this joke from MIT admission blog after my comment on the 10 things I love about MIT
OK, Mgccl, I have removed the joke from the math entry. I had received your previous email and didn't remove the joke at the time because I thought that it was clear that these were jokes and therefore not factually accurate (I hope you don't take everything in xkcd as true. Helicopters don't get cancer.) While it is admirable that you took the time to correct the joke, for everyone's future reference, it's advisable NOT to use jokes as your source of knowledge on tests...textbooks are more reliable.
Some time ago, I had pointed out a mathematical flaw in the famous study = fail joke.
Now, I saw another unforgivable math joke that's completely wrong.
It's featured on MIT Admissions blog. No one commenter spotted it? Come on MIT, you could do better.
Someone is WRONG on the internet. and I have to fix it. I love how xkcd comic knows exactly what I'm thinking about.
Let's not talk about the implied stereotype of women in mathematics that tries to make this joke funnier, because that's nothing compare to getting the basic understanding of limit wrong.
Definition of limit according to wikipedia:
Let f be a function defined on an open interval containing c (except possibly at c) and let L be a real number.
means that
for each real ε > 0 there exists a real δ > 0 such that for all x with 0 < |x − c| < δ, we have |f(x) − L| < ε.
A very convinient graph of the function 1/(x-8)
What did you know? according to the graph, there is no limit.
There are, of course, left-hand and right-hand limits. So the real joke should be something like this.


Really, letting math jokes like this going around can hurt people on their tests, I learned it the hard way.
There is a interesting point I can make to make this math joke correct.
If we don't consider this problem in the usual first year college calculus's extended real number line, where there are 2 different kind of infinity.
and
, but to consider it in real projective line, then that is correct.
But really. How can a student can't understand the material of 1st year college calculus and working on calculus on real projective line?

Troll in IRC and MILF
Posted January 28th, 2008 by MgcclHappened in #not-math of Freenode, removed some lines for consistence of thoughts. I have to learn how to spot trolls
Libster_: dude you guys know of Danica McKellar?
Libster_: I want to sex her so bad
HiLander: is she the nascar chick or is she the chick from wonder years who's now less attractive?
Libster_: Incidentally you guys should take this quiz to find out whether you hide your girly smarts around cute boys in your homeroom class at middle school http://www.mathdoesntsuck.com/quiz.php
Libster_: She's the extremely attractive chick from Wonder Years who's a genius mathematician
Libster_: Also she graduated summa cum laude from UCLA
Mgccl: Libster_: do you have some kind of math fetish...
Libster_: Mgccl, I thought that was pretty obvious.
Mgccl: in that case... my I suggest Stephen Wolfram
Mgccl: *may
Libster_: yeah he's a MILF
Libster_: mathematician I'd like to fuck
Mgccl: .
HiLander: even trolls need love
Join #not-math, many witty math related discussion and occasionally people with disturbing math fetish.
