Unfortunately, it didn't get get enough exposure the first time round so I'm sharing it again.... I thought it was a pretty cool strip, deserves to be seen more.- 4rp4n3t, on 05/22/2008, -66/+26Hmm - if it didn't get much exposure last time, I think it got just as much exposure as it deserved.
Really, not insightful, not clever, poorly executed and not funny. Other than that it's...Ok.- helikopter, on 05/22/2008, -10/+6suck it, bro
- bovester, on 05/22/2008, -5/+30somebody's got some sand in their vagina
- gandhii, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6I guess everyone has a different view of comedy.. but I have to agree with 4rp4n3t. Not really funny. Kind of reads like a text book.
- GangsterCompute, on 05/22/2008, -1/+1hahahahahahaha

- nreynolds, on 05/22/2008, -7/+130dude. you get 100 points for that comment, now everyone's going to love you.
- FuckThaMeme, on 05/22/2008, -1/+7100 points? This isn't 'Whose Line is it Anyway?'
- jkleinfeld, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j38/jamie-kleinf ...
looks like you got 100 points for giving him 100 points
- sjl127, on 05/22/2008, -14/+2As soon as I saw the headline, without reading any comments, I knew - I KNEW it was a diggbat that drew this.
- rolf, on 05/22/2008, -36/+12PHD comics? I guess the artist doesn't have basic math:) Check out the cartoon on the right, "X is the distance from the lecturer, X=How_much_you_care/How_Sleepy_You_Are".
If you care nil (0), I guess you are right up front? And if you care a lot, you're in the back row?
And if you're not sleepy at all (0), you're distance might approach infinity? And if you're about to snooze, you're in the front row (approaching 0 distance)? Well, I guess that could make sense.... school got more boring the closer you were to it.- leoedin, on 05/22/2008, -1/+22Clearly your observational skills are rather low. The distance is measured from the back of the lecture hall - if you don't care at all, then you're at the back, if you care a lot but are very sleepy, then you're a distance of 1.
If your not sleepy at all (lets face it, unlikely) then you're distance approaches infinity *towards* the lecturer.- 4rp4n3t, on 05/22/2008, -3/+14How exactly do you approach infinity towards something?
- rolf, on 05/22/2008, -11/+2"The distance is measured from the back of the lecture hall..."
Lol, another PHDer. The distance betweens us remains the same whether it's measured from me to you, or from you to me. - jjustice, on 05/22/2008, -3/+13Sorry to correct a correction to a correction, but you would be right only if X was defined as the distance to the lecturer. But, based on the diagram, X is defined as the distance from the back of the room. The fact that the diagram is labeled as "proximity to lecturer" is unfortunate, because it implies that X is measured from the lecturer, but the diagram shows that this is simply not the case.
- Densetsu, on 05/22/2008, -0/+13>> How exactly do you approach infinity towards something?
1", 1/2", 1/4", 1/8", ..., 1/∞" - jawagas, on 05/22/2008, -0/+18Oh man, I've missed you guys. Been nothing but lolcat commenter's for a while.
- trispear, on 05/22/2008, -3/+1JJustice,
Who is to say whether the label or a squiggle on the diagram has precedence on defining X?
I don't think you could make a ironclad case either way to say anyone is definitely wrong to say one way or the other. - Zipko, on 05/22/2008, -1/+13"How exactly do you approach infinity towards something?"
You're going to love when they teach you limits in school.
Lim (-1)^x
x->∞
You'll be bouncing all over the place trying to figure out what you're going towards. - drgmdp, on 05/22/2008, -2/+6who says digg is for nerds? lol
- feoren, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5"How exactly do you approach infinity towards something?"
The responses to this are amusing. You don't understand limits if you answered this with limits. You can't approach infinity towards something, otherwise that "something" would be an infinite distance away from you and therefore you're never getting closer to it, or you could even consider it to not exist. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can ever be "at" infinity. You can approach infinity, and you can approach something finite as something else approaches infinity, but you can't approach infinity towards something. - fryguy1013, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4"You can approach infinity, and you can approach something finite as something else approaches infinity, but you can't approach infinity towards something."
True, however if you read the original comment, you will notice he made two mistakes with your and you're, so likely his grammar skills are poor: "If your not sleepy at all (lets face it, unlikely) then you're distance approaches infinity [*towards* the lecturer]." (brackets mine)
Additionally, if you treat the distance as a vector, the meaning "your distance approaches infinity in the direction of the teacher" would make complete sense, and I think is what he meant. - RoboB0b, on 05/22/2008, -2/+2My mind kind of exploded when I found out that if you go past infinity it wraps around to negative infinity and vice versa. I understand the mathematics for it but I still have a hard time conceptualizing that one.
- ulmedas, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2"You can approach infinity, and you can approach something finite as something else approaches infinity, but you can't approach infinity towards something."
Actually, one can approach something infinitesimally. The space being measured is the distance from the back of the room to the lecturer. If that is the whole space, then one can map it to the set [0,1) with 0 being the back of the room and 1 being the lecturer's position (assuming the lecture remains stationary, which we should in this case [else this becomes more nonsensical than it already is]). From there it is obvious that the equation is a continuous function of real numbers that can be mapped to [0,1). Well, for me, anyway, as neither my sleepiness levels nor my interest levels are discrete functions. Hmm...Someone should try to model those equations.
Well that was a tad silly, but it was fun. - Zipko, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1"You can approach infinity, and you can approach something finite as something else approaches infinity, but you can't approach infinity towards something."
With vectors you can approach infinity towards something that's defined in infinite terms, but you're right that no matter how close you get to infinity you're still infinitely far away from whatever you're approaching. Still you are approaching to it. - gordonj, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1On the practical side, it's kind of irrelevant whether the function approaches infinity, as whatever the case is, the distribution of X has to be binned into a discreet number of rows. Any overzealous students who get a little too close to the lecturer will undoubtedly be told to sit down or get out.
- jimmy17, on 05/22/2008, -1/+1Wow, id like to tell you to all lighten up but this being digg i spose this thread will go on into infinity..
- RoboB0b, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure why I'm getting dugg down. You guys must not use matrix transformations much.
- 4rp4n3t, on 05/22/2008, -1/+6I think 'artist' might be putting it a bit strongly...
- BoneheadFarker, on 05/22/2008, -6/+3No. Since it's a division equation, neither value can be zero. You must care somewhat, or else you wouldn't be in the class. And well...it's impossible *not* to be sleepy during a lecture. Especially a math lecture.
Thought you probably shouldn't take my word for it, since I sat in the second row during math lectures...- feoren, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9Is this what they're teaching in Math these days?
- BoneheadFarker, on 05/22/2008, -2/+2@feoren
I honestly wouldn't know, since I was sleeping at the time.
- leoedin, on 05/22/2008, -1/+22Clearly your observational skills are rather low. The distance is measured from the back of the lecture hall - if you don't care at all, then you're at the back, if you care a lot but are very sleepy, then you're a distance of 1.
- DentThat, on 05/22/2008, -15/+4So how did you manage to achieve so many diggs compared to Rekzai's previous attempt? Spammed it to all your 250 friends and told them to spam it more? How dishonest...how undemocratic
- Nollykin, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Why the hell do people give such a ***** about how many diggs something gets? Since when was sharing something interesting with others all about *YOU* ?
- dpazar2, on 05/22/2008, -5/+25We need more digg users like MakiMaki...well done!
- Patori, on 05/22/2008, -4/+8True spirit of digg's intentions.
- DentThat, on 05/22/2008, -8/+4How? Re-submitting a duplicate digg? I'm pretty sure digg discourages that...
- Patori, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3Yes, but the idea is that he didn't have enough reads, so a "bigger" digger took it.
You'd suspect he wouldn't credit it, but he did :) - DentThat, on 05/22/2008, -1/+1since he's such a "big digger," then if he was found out to have stolen a digg and resubmitted it would be horrible for his reputation. This way, by crediting the original digger, he knows himself everyone's going to praise his "good honesty" and make himself feel better
- Patori, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3Yes, but the idea is that he didn't have enough reads, so a "bigger" digger took it.
- DentThat, on 05/22/2008, -8/+4How? Re-submitting a duplicate digg? I'm pretty sure digg discourages that...
- 4rp4n3t, on 05/22/2008, -66/+26Hmm - if it didn't get much exposure last time, I think it got just as much exposure as it deserved.
- TheChauvinist, on 05/22/2008, -5/+70i am so the mid-center bring it on, with two fists!
- mastazed, on 05/22/2008, -1/+17thats me in the second row...ZzZzZzZz
- fatjoe, on 05/22/2008, -1/+13i'm sensitive. please ignore me
- A2007HokieAlumn, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5I "bring it on" unless it was a boring class, then I sat in the front - not to be the teacher's pet, but to help me stay awake
- PhantomRogue, on 05/22/2008, -0/+12I was sitting where-ever there was a seat left.
- Digger1218, on 05/22/2008, -1/+11Nearest to the exit ftw
- suzywang3000, on 05/22/2008, -4/+21I usually sat on my couch smoking pot and playing Bond on the N64.
- Wesside, on 05/22/2008, -9/+2lol you win 1 internet for that!
- KingGorilla, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3How are you going to take notes like that?
- pyro789x, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3But the fact that you had to tell us how committed to studying you are actually makes you the front row teacher's pet.
- Gizza, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1I sat in the back row, not because i was too cool for school, but because u can lean back in your chair against the wall.
- enterneo, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1that shows up in your choice of login name too :P
- UltramegaOK, on 05/22/2008, -7/+308The front row kids are also the ones who ask too many questions.
You'd think people could write stuff down, then ask the question once the lecture was complete.- 1legend, on 05/22/2008, -9/+52Asking questions also helps keep your mind active/awake in lectures (at least for me). Also sitting in front makes it easier to ask/stay awake.
- colto, on 05/22/2008, -7/+76Teacher's pet wannabe....
- Jektal, on 05/22/2008, -3/+7Asking questions also makes the professor notice you and gives you that invaluable "wants to learn" aura which some professors base their grades largely upon, without the inconvenience of actually having to go find them outside of class to ask the question.
And besides, you're going to be sitting there for the entire time period whether the professor is answering questions or lecturing, deal with it.- LukeBeaumont, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3It is a shame most lecturers don't know all their students, nor give them marks. At least not here in Australia.
- c0baltfish, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Not if you overdo it. One guy in my Jazz class raised his hand just to give his opinions instead of asking questions. Automatically became the class pariah within the first week.
- mrASSMAN, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2I'm in class right now, the kids in front are asking completely unnecessary questions and wasting time. I think they are oblivious to the fact that they are aggravating everyone else in the class.
- falkonv7l, on 05/22/2008, -0/+23How about the ones who sit in the front, always challenging the instructor.
- ifoundthetao, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I hear that. My initial reaction was to digg you down, but that would have just been displaced anger.
- RyogaVee, on 05/22/2008, -8/+0That would be me :)
- cesclaveria, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2***** the 18 generations of your ancestors.
- Gizza, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4You mean the ones that piss off the rest of the class and always turn out to be wrong because the instructor is always inevitably right, you know, with his phd an all that.
- UDub9, on 05/22/2008, -2/+11Be friendly with front row kids since they may let you copy their homework.
- SpencerMc, on 05/22/2008, -0/+55The worst are the ones that think they and the professor are on a whole 'nother level than everyone else in the class. The ones that go off on tangents in the "I thought you might enjoy some intelligent conversation, though the rest of these plebeians won't understand it" tone of voice.
I had one in one of my classes last semester that actually wore a beret in a non-ironic manner.- nextyoyoma, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I can be one of those guys.
- learn2, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7they often think their questions are important enough for the whole class to hear.
- EatChex89, on 05/22/2008, -2/+7Yeah. I feel like to bitch slap those front row kids that keep the class in longer than is necessary.
- scubaman5000, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8You must be 'sits next to the exit' guy.
- marvinmatthew, on 05/22/2008, -1/+6I find that sitting up in front lets me forget that theres 300 other people in the class. It makes me feel more connected and engaged to what I'm learning.
- diggrnumber1, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1do you guys all go to small liberal arts colleges? where i go (ucla) nobody can ask questions because the classes all have 200 people. which is sort of a good thing because it prevents the question-askers from wasting your time.
- shiberving, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1amen on the asking questions after class part. I'm not paying $400 plus per credit hour to sit and listen to you front row special kids make the prof repeat the same thing he just said over and over. man I hate those people.
- someidiotinnj, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I always tried to sit in the front of the class since most of the teachers I had would ask students sitting in the back to answer the questions.
- 1legend, on 05/22/2008, -9/+52Asking questions also helps keep your mind active/awake in lectures (at least for me). Also sitting in front makes it easier to ask/stay awake.
- CosmoKramer, on 05/22/2008, -0/+95What about us 2nd row from the back guys?
- bxblox, on 05/22/2008, -1/+156You mean the "taking notes" on a laptop guys?
- quakeIII, on 05/22/2008, -0/+23I sit in the front row and watch a genre of pornography so disturbing that you'll wonder why I don't turn the volume down such that I don't get kicked out of every class, every time.
- Wesside, on 05/22/2008, -5/+4man you guys are on the ball today, dugg for being awesome!
- Keimatsu, on 05/22/2008, -0/+25*****, I'm doing that right now.
- DrakeRangoon, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9hahahaha, I also am doing exactly the same right now, in a lecture hall with like 200 people. Environmental Ethics...? Nah. Digg.
- CrazyDEX, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3U mean the guys playing a Quake Deathmatch against each other
- cesclaveria, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1It was UT2004 on my classes (on every singles class, we even had a 18 people tournament going on during classes :p)
- quakeIII, on 05/22/2008, -0/+23I sit in the front row and watch a genre of pornography so disturbing that you'll wonder why I don't turn the volume down such that I don't get kicked out of every class, every time.
- Oppslagsverk, on 05/22/2008, -1/+4We are the ones that have not yet decided, or maybe a bit indifferent.
- kamisama, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3It's still ok to fall asleep there though.
- Oppslagsverk, on 05/22/2008, -1/+13Indifferent people sleep when they want to.
- kamisama, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3It's still ok to fall asleep there though.
- dsmx, on 05/22/2008, -1/+38Your not quite cool enough for the back row.
- emalen, on 05/22/2008, -0/+22The digger in me wants to digg you up, but the front-row kid in me wants to correct your grammar. I feel so torn.
- Intamin, on 05/23/2008, -0/+2Alright emalen, I'll correct his grammar and take the hits--you can digg him up.
It's "You're," not "Your!"
Compromise is a sweet thing! :)
- Arcan, on 05/22/2008, -0/+12All these stereotypes are unfair. Sometimes we're just too tall to sit anywhere else :-(
- bxblox, on 05/22/2008, -1/+156You mean the "taking notes" on a laptop guys?
- TEHxINTERWEBS, on 05/22/2008, -6/+195Back Kid is hardcore...he smokes in class!
- Bean945, on 05/22/2008, -2/+49In the year below me we had a kid who.. *achm*.. used to jerk the gerkin in the back of the class... O_o
- synyster, on 05/22/2008, -0/+29that's not hardcore, i saw a girl were giving bj in the back row in class(can't remember what's the title of the move)
- po43292, on 05/22/2008, -0/+25I think it's called Awesome.
- almightyzam, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5It's called "Gettin ahead in class"
- quakeIII, on 05/22/2008, -0/+10Excuse me, that's Dr. Gerkin now.
- scubaman5000, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5...you saw that?
- synyster, on 05/22/2008, -0/+29that's not hardcore, i saw a girl were giving bj in the back row in class(can't remember what's the title of the move)
- cmiller1, on 05/22/2008, -0/+17Obviously you two are talking about ENTIRELY different meanings of the word hardcore
- ostracize, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6When I was in school, the ones closest to the door were the smokers. They were the last to come in to class after a smoke break and the first to rush out for a smoke after class.
- halofr34k, on 05/22/2008, -3/+8I think Back Kid is a pretty cool guy, eh smokes in class and doesn't afraid of anything
- myk7, on 05/22/2008, -2/+1ya Back Kid very cool guy, and eh probably doesn't happy about being in school either
- Nescirian, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0He is DEFINITELY not afraid of the ***** police!
- DreKor, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I liked the lecture halls that still had the "Non-smoking Classroom" signs from the 50's
- Jethdm, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4I always sit in the back row, but not cause I wanna be cool, its cause I'm so ***** anti-social and it feels like I am less likely to be asked questions by the teacher.
- byrdgang, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Then you're the sensitive one near the wall, not the cool guy in the back.
- Bean945, on 05/22/2008, -2/+49In the year below me we had a kid who.. *achm*.. used to jerk the gerkin in the back of the class... O_o
- georgemason01, on 05/22/2008, -4/+52I hate school desks.
- jjustice, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3Yeah, but the swivelly lecture hall chairs are even worse, in my opinion.
- PubStomp, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3I hate old chairs that squeal whenever you move even a little bit. It is either to attract negative attention to yourself or to have a sore ass and back.
- aMammoth, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Yeah, talk about it. In one class, if I sat up straight, my knees would be supporting the desk.
- myk7, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0im 6'4" those desks are ridiculously small, makes me feel like a freaking giant.. and taking an open book/open note test?? Forget about it
- antdude, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I hate the tiny desk one.
- stranglethorne, on 05/22/2008, -3/+124I usually sit nearest to the exit, but that doesn't mean i'm uncommitted. I like to beat the rush out the door at the end, especially in some of my packed out lectures.
- merreborn, on 05/22/2008, -4/+13Don't think about it too hard. It's just an unoriginal comic echoing age-old stereotypes.
- SamuraiPanda, on 05/22/2008, -8/+354Second row sleeper here. People keep telling me to stop sitting so close if I'm going to fall asleep, but it isn't like I intend to. 10am is too early for college =/
- helikopter, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5so much dugg-ness from me
- chessoriginal, on 05/22/2008, -0/+37try 5:30 am every morning... that's what i thought
- HotBaconSauce, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2I miss 10 am classes that I can go get some extra z's in :(
- username7D8, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I'm up at 5:00am...I had no idea how good I had it in college!
- Daiken, on 05/22/2008, -0/+3Are you saying you have class at 5:30 in the morning or that you just like to get up that early? I'm guessing SamuraiPanda was referring to class at 10.
- lustyrusty, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0Hey, up at 4:30 for work until 8:00. Then class from there until Noon or 1:00. Yeah, I slept through too many classes.
- priegog, on 05/22/2008, -1/+28Same here... it's funny cuz it's true. Also, it doesn't matter if the night before i slept 4 or 8 hours, I will ALWAYS end up sleeping in a class that hasn't me 100% engaged in interest at around that time.
- learn2, on 05/22/2008, -1/+8I'm the same way. I'll be thinking, "okay, here i am near the front of the class, i definitely won't sleep" ... 10 minutes in i'm dozing off uncontrollably.
- EatChex89, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2hear hear.
- Jorin, on 05/22/2008, -0/+12Good intentions, bad narcolepsy. Couldn't possibly describe my situation better!
- bobartig, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6The secret is to form an alliance with a "second row buddy", and basically you poke each other when one of you is about to nod off. It adds an extra failsafe along with your good intentions, but doesn't prevent tandem nodding off.
- rhartman, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5I got through a Philosophy class this way. Me and this other person (never learned her name) took turns snoozing in class. It eventually got to the point that we would alternate taking turns and sharing our notes to make up for whatever we had missed individually. ;)
- Lixie, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5Until you both fall asleep at the same time.
- caramba420, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2I know what you mean. I've had classes that started before the crack of noon.
- Lixie, on 05/22/2008, -0/+5I had the same problem until I found the cure. I would sit next to someone attractive and make conversation with them. The intrigue in the person next to me would keep me alert the whole class...and occasionally brought some other benefits.
- matt.rubin, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1i set all my classes next year so the earliest class is 10:30 lol
- wenomspitta, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1front row sleeper here
I actually find it more comfortable sleeping in the front row, because professors are always giving lecture to the majority of students in the back, not to the couple of pet wannabes in the front - xerigen, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Yeah, for whatever reason I always fell asleep at about 1:00, no matter how interested I was. I tried so hard, but you can only have your head jerk into the back of the chair so many times before you give up. Probably had something to do with it being just after lunch, ready for my mid-afternoon nap.
- wrzhydr, on 05/22/2008, -0/+110am is too early for anything..
- cesclaveria, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I really missed going to college during the day, on my last 2 years the courses are only given at night, so if you think a 10AM class is bad, try a 10PM one...
- rogueyak, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1The warm air blanket gets me all the time...
- antdude, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Please. Try 7:30 AM PDT college classes.
- PricklySponge, on 05/22/2008, -3/+46I'm sensitive
- Densetsu, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5The left-handed desks were always against the wall.
I guess southpaws are sensitive. - banido, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2Well I can't say I'm "sensitive", I just happen to like leaning with my back on the wall, old habit, pissed off one or another teacher but they got used to it.
- Hindermore, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I used to sit against the wall too but that is the worst spot if there is an attack. Usually there is more than 1 exit in an auditorium style lecture hall. One is usually behind where the professor is standing. Sitting up front allows a greater chance of survival.
- Prototek, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5I sit against the wall because there is a less likelihood that someone will sit behind you and kick your chair-back or use it as a foot rest. That ***** makes me angry enough to consider physical harm.
- esubi81, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2I sit next to the sensitive people, so I at least feel a little bit of power over them.
- LilianPhoebs, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0i sit against the wall, hope to do crossword puzzles in peace

- kelly86, on 05/22/2008, -0/+41I'm nearly always late for class and the only seats that are left are either in the back row or the front. Choice is easy.

- Trichomonas, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Whoa, seats left in the front?!? I wish I had that for my classes. The front seats are the fastest to go. I have to get there 5-10 mins early to have a chance of getting one.

- wit21, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I don't fit anywhere on this chart :( I sit in the front row and fall asleep. I'm surprised my chemistry professor never lit me on fire to teach me a lesson.
- diggRelief1, on 05/22/2008, -3/+245So, according to the equation, if you're not sleepy, you don't exist?
- helikopter, on 05/22/2008, -10/+4ever hear of an approximation
- rockorager, on 05/22/2008, -0/+71If you aren't sleepy, you are approximately infinity, and by that scale, I would say that is the lecturer
- synyster, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2FYI, there is a really really small chances that everyone could be lecturer?
- Exbzurq, on 05/22/2008, -0/+4Maybe in those "new age" style of teaching where its all group work. Bah I say. Id drop that class fast.
- synyster, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2FYI, there is a really really small chances that everyone could be lecturer?
- soulkitchen, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6According to the equation if you are not sleepy (zero sleepy) then you are a singularity.
As in, the only one in the class who is not sleepy. - sickanimations, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3Undefined.
- aceking4u, on 05/22/2008, -2/+0Hilarious!
- dlite922, on 05/22/2008, -1/+10Actually we're always to some degree sleepy/tired.
Assumption Number 1: To say that you're never sleepy, means you never enter the state of tiredness / you have unlimited resource of energy.
Your body is always using energy, _even_ when you're sleeping.
Conclusion: You may be 0.00001 sleepy, but that's enough to break your argument for an undefined/non-existence.

- byrdgang, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1We are all likely sleepy (or drowsy) to a certain extent...regardless of how little.
- nshady, on 05/22/2008, -15/+24I hate those teacher's pets who are always asking questions from the front row. Just shut up and let the lecturer say what they need to say so we can all leave.
- thirteenthcor, on 05/22/2008, -2/+15Yeah why the hell would you want to actually LEARN something whilst getting an education?
/sarcasm
your that ass in school that gets everyone else to not like the guy who wants to learn.- papawuu, on 05/22/2008, -3/+6It's those people who ask the question when they already know the answer, and yes I'll make sure no one likes them. This also goes for people who ask stupid questions.
- EatChex89, on 05/22/2008, -2/+8you're that ass in school that always asks the dumb questions.
- thirteenthcor, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1I'm also that ass from school that knew a ***** more than you too! XD
- thirteenthcor, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1THAT I agree with though papawuu... i did know kids like that, and yeah, they were irritating. As for everything else, you learn through inquiry. IF you ask questions for the right reason, its a good thing.
- nshady, on 06/02/2008, -0/+195% of the time their question would be answered if they just let the lecturer speak.
- talonstriker, on 05/22/2008, -1/+15I don't have problem with people asking questions. Hell if you're going to pay $10,000 to attend college, you have the right to ask questions. BUT what does annoy me are stupid questions. I realize that "stupid" is a relative term but some idiot arguing why the professor uses "sigma" as a variable instead of a normal letter is completely stupid. (Yeah, a idiot did that in our review session 2 days ago...the argument went on for 15-*****-minutes)
- po43292, on 05/22/2008, -2/+4Sigma was a bad choice.

- thewidowmaker, on 05/22/2008, -14/+278I sit at the back and then yell out my questions so that everyone has to turn their head. I consider it the appearance of "nerd-cool"...it's like, yeah I am in the back...and yeah, I know what is happening and can participate when I feel like it... Word!
- amplifiedshock, on 05/22/2008, -0/+48I think you were in class last semester.
- thewidowmaker, on 05/22/2008, -2/+28you should try it this term... it works with the ladies. they are all like, "wow, what a nerd! but wait he is at the back, so he must be cool, what should i do...what should i do...god my head hurts from having to look back in this class!!...but, i can't tell if he is decent looking or not, can't look back too long, he isn't asking a question now so i can't doublecheck...i have to know more about him!! he must be mine!!!".
that's how i met my wife in university. seriously.- synyster, on 05/22/2008, -1/+20she sounds pretty easy, is she a nerd as well?

RIDICULOUS - diggrnumber1, on 05/22/2008, -3/+2i go to class to get information, and then i leave. i don't want to have class prolonged by some douchebag who thinks he's hilarious sitting in the back. if that was what class was all about, i probably wouldn't even go. it would probably be even more annoying than when the prof tries to tell horrible jokes instead of teaching.
- amplifiedshock, on 05/22/2008, -0/+48I think you were in class last semester.

- InorganicMatter, on 05/22/2008, -0/+31Talking in class is annoying regardless of language, but talking in class LOUDLY, in a language that the rest of the class cannot understand and participate in, is beyond rude.

- diggrnumber1, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3that is definitely not a description of ucla. it is more like exactly the opposite. i know because i go there.
the asians usually speak english with each other. hardly anyone is in a frat, and they usually don't come to class anyway. the girls aren't bimbos for the most part (you must be thinking about USC) so they don't talk about lame TV shows all the time. nobody ever asks questions because the classes all have 200 people. there are no emo kids. the people who would play WoW don't even come to class in the first place (they might as well play it in their dorm). there aren't really that many overdressed persians.

- porkdanish, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9When I learned this trick, my grades went up a full letter. Sitting in front forces you to at least pretend to pay attention which translates into actually paying attention. It also shows the prof that you're interested in their class, even if you aren't, and they tend to grade you a bit softer.
Meeting with and talking to your teachers a few times a semester is another way to improve your GPA.- josereyes0, on 05/22/2008, -1/+1Might as well get on your knees while you're at it.

- AALunchbox, on 05/22/2008, -9/+3Has anyone realized that the graph on the right is wrong. Anything below zero would be a negative number. The equation won't produce a negative number. The front row should be zero, and the equation should really be the reciprocal. Yeah. I know how sad this is.
- vdog, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8You sat in the front row, didn't you?

- fundi245, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1How did you work that one out? If you use numbers between one and ten, and you 'How much you care' is a ten value and 'How sleepy you are' is a one value, then that would be 10/1 which would equal ten thus giving a high x value meaning a front row seat as you would expect.
- AALunchbox, on 05/22/2008, -0/+0Look at the graph. The back row is labeled as zero. On any regular graph, anything below zero, or the x-axis, is a negative number. If you switch the front row to become the x-axis and then flip the equation, the closer you get to 0 the closer you are to the front row. Using your evaluation, you'd get 1/10, close to zero.

- ChingKing, on 05/22/2008, -0/+83Im always falling asleep in lectures. I tried the trick of constantly taking notes to keep me awake and alert, it didn't work. Though reading the gibberish I've written down while coming in and out of unconscious after the lecture is hilarious.
- xstarsprinklesx, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7It's even funnier when you do that while highlighting.
- joeTaco, on 05/22/2008, -0/+16this 'trick' does not work, as anyone who has read their perfectly legible notes turn into passed-out squiggles will attest.
- priegog, on 05/22/2008, -0/+35Yup, tried that too myself. The lines start to curve downwards, the letters start becoming small and eventually they turn into continous lines. But the few words you get to understand are indeed hilarious; you end up thinking "what the ***** was I thinking?" I once wrote something I was saying to another character in a dream.
'nuff said. - omikun, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1If you happen to not be ambidextrous you can always try writing with your non dominant hand. I find that works really well but only for classes where you don't have to write constantly.
- fudged71, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2exactly! same with me!
All through linear algebra, for some reason my body just wanted sleep. I was always front row in hat class, so I kept nodding off while trying to write notes. I would always wake up second later with drool on my face, and strange writing style. Always great to see that last letter that just trails away____________
- Janv1er, on 05/22/2008, -1/+10I was always the 'too cool for school' kid, not that I was trying, I just hated school. Never smoked in class tho.

whats funny is that this applies to Medical school students as well.

- cesclaveria, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I think he said that because of the practice hours, staying up all night as an intern, so going to classes early in the morning might be a little harder for them.
- Shenaniganz08, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1well i would say the average medical student is more driven than your typical student
that being said the only thing that makes us "different" is our ability to absorb new information like a sponge

My gf is in medschool and its ridiculous to see these geniuses try and figure out their grades.. the professors themselves can barely do it right. I give them points for memorizing more random stuff than most of us will ever see in our lives, but my god are some of them just tools useless for anything else.

Perhaps it could be:
Front row- has bad eyesight and can't see the board
Close to wall- agoraphobia
Back wall- wants to perv out by watching all the girls in the classroom
Second row- closet teacher's pets who won't sit in the first for fear of being branded nerd
Close to door-arrives late to every class, every time
Middle of class- best spot in a movie theater for sound, doesn't realize classroom isn't a movie theater

- Jektal, on 05/22/2008, -0/+16No no, young padawan. You want to be 3 seats to the side and one row -behind- ***** McGee, so you can nonchalantly look forward at the lecturer and get the side-boob, and the occasional full-on view when she turns (ask long questions)

- Sh0rtcake, on 05/22/2008, -14/+1oh so true. but i think this only applies to schools up to grade 12 because college students have a better grasp of what's important and there is no assigned seating.. so it's common to see the same student take a different seat every day.
- thirteenthcor, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6"college students have a better grasp of what's important"
I want to be in this world your living in. for 70 percent of people in college, its just a way for them to maintain a crutch whilst paying ridiculous amounts of money so they can avoid dealing with the real world for a few more years after high school. Basically so they can still be a kid for as long as possible. And I doubt the bulk of them are any more mature than when they graduated high school, and still lack a grasp of much of anything... Besides, what high school did you go to that had lecture halls?- lies03, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Tell that to the 30yr old in front of me.
- ConceptualTrap, on 05/22/2008, -0/+6At my college the same kids almost always sat in the same general spot every day.
- Crucible1001, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Same here. Everyone sat in the same seats nearly every day.
