This week we go back to TOM GILL PREDICTS-  Volume 15, Number 15- for an item adapted
from an email forwarded by Tracy! Gore, who got it from Noodles Kilchoer.

 3. If you've actually used every single function in Matlab.
 3a. If you know what Matlab is.
 
 4. If you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
 
 5. If it is sunny and 72 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
 
 6. If when your professor/boss asks you where your homework/report is, you claim 
 to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to

 down its wave function.
 
 13. If you have a pet named after a scientist.
 
 14. If you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building 
 which says "Exit."
 
 15. If you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer,
 because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
 
 16. If you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to
 the eventual heat-death of the universe.
