Hehe  :grin:

Reminds me of the joke one of my physics prof.s told us:

Quote:

Some crazy gambler kidnaps a biologist, a chemist, and a physicist and locks them in a dungeon or somewhere and tells them each that they'll be let out when they have devised a method to win a horse bet every time.  So, they set to work in their respective dungeon labs...

After some months, the biologist completed his work. 
--"So, what have you come up with?" the gambler asked, to which the he biologist responded by proudly showing off a new breed of horse he had genetically engineered to run twice as fast as a normal horse (and grow about 5x as fast apparently).  The gambler thanked him and let him go.

After another few months, the chemist finished his work. 
--"So, what have you come up with?" the gambler asked, to which the chemist responded by demonstrating a new drug which could be injected into a horse just before a race, which gave the horse a boost in energy for the duration of the race, and broke down quickly to untraceable metabolites soon after.  The gambler thanked him and let him go.

Not long after, the physicist finished his work. 
"Well, what did you come up with?" the gambler asked, to which the physicist responded, "Assume spherical horses running in a vacuum..."
