and b) beer is yummy
And foamy:

science in general is pretty damned hot at being right.
I think this is the phrase you're looking for.

Which leaves me with the question: what could I have done differently? How could I have communicated to them (and have them listen and understand) that it isn't okay to throw your rubbish in the street?
No-win situation. What you need is my elderly mother to totally kick their arses.
Given your recent track record, though, I'm really looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

Having had a very similar major I'd say it was the stupid relationships which required the actual maths.
Aheheheh. We're already dealing with intersecting sets.
so I picked maths with statistics
I was told I needed Maths with Stats to do biology. When that turned out to not be true, I dropped it. And so did only four subjects in 7th form, which I'm sure would be Frowned Upon Today.
But way back in the early 90s, they'd already introduced a 'maximum 6th form certificate score' requirement for the stage one Shakespeare course I got an A in that would have ensured I didn't get entry - because my physics mark was just a little too bad.
I loved uni. The degree at the end of it did seem kind of irrelevant.
if I get to talking about what I actually studied people's eyes almost instantly glaze over...
I have a love of listening to people Get Their Geek On which is probably bordering on some kind of mental illness.

Robots and planes, you say..
Yes, that's what I associate with Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Not 'Angelina Jolie with an eyepatch'. Another problem with my arts degree, I suppose.

Substitute "propositioning the hostess" for "throwing up" and this is uncannily like the night 25 years ago when I got your brother into a toney New Year's Eve party in Sumner. Spooky, really ...
Yeah, see? I blame the parents.
Hi Mum!

The only student worse than an Engineering student is a Performance Voice student.
On behalf of my best friend, hey! And also, possibly, fair point.
For me it was HIST 133 (Medieval Europe)
I did that! Retained facts: Charlemagne was really, really tall.
The most seriously I nearly went astray (and bear in mind I was doing English lit on purpose) was loving CLAS 215 Hellenistic Egypt so much I nearly changed to one of the few majors of less use than mine.

Emma, I am not sure that world-record sprinting counts as the real world . It's not something that ever happens to me - does it happen to you?
Dude, my base-line for comparison is role-playing. Let me add 'for very low values of real'.

Valiant sacrifice is when you give up your car for a more responsible ride, innit?
Ba-doom-tish. Also, true in my family. Though a 'family car' (insert appropriate sneering tone) is anything with a back seat.
it's only your what-not that is appreciated by teh wimminz .
I need something to put my knick-knacks on! (This is one of those moments when I wonder if I've made a joke only Danielle will get.)

Bitch could have woken me up before she buggered off. Lost half me leg!
Oh, yeah, we appreciate your valiant sacrifices and what-not.
