You Got Your Helmholtz in My Kelvin

For the two sample Inviscid Flow finals that Dr. Vakili gave us, we needed to know the difference between the Helmholtz theorem and the Kelvin theorem. Without going into detail, they're the same thing, just using different words and different ways of thinking about the same process. I could explain the difference before I realized that, now I just think about how they're really the same thing. It's like telling someone to clear their mind, but they can't help but think of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. It's exactly like that.

After I worked through both sample tests, for the second time now, I fixed some tacos and Mexican rice while Lee worked on Rotel. Then we watched Chicken Little, the latest installment from NetFlix. It's definitely a kid's movie (it was only an hour 15 minutes long), but it had some laughs in it. Also, it wasn't the worst expansion of a 10-minute story into a feature-length movie that I've ever seen. I would have preferred a longer "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" scene, just to be truer to the original. I don't find enough occasions to use my big voice, either.

Dr. Kupershmidt emailed us our grades on the final and our final grades. He said he'd do this by last night, but he probably had more to grade than he realized. There was also some issue with the last problem being copied wrong from book to test. I ended up with a 4.5 / 5, and an A overall for the course. It's good to be the King.

Brent's fiancee apparently refers to Lee and me as Rocky and Bullwinkle. Lee wanted to be Rocky, so I'm "Mr. Know-It-All" himself, Bullwinkle J. Moose, president of Moosylvania. It's good to be the President.

Rocky: Do you know what an A-bomb is?
Bullwinkle: Certainly. A bomb is what some people call [my blog].

More tomorrow.
