I wish more people would vote on the poll (to the right). I was going to make my decision based on the results a week ago, but it's pretty much a tie. So vote some more!
In physics, sometimes we are assigned group problems where one of us goes up to the whiteboard while the group tells him/her what to do (each group has a whiteboard). Last week we decided to determine who goes up by the nose rule. Whoever's touching his nose the last goes up! So the first two times some people were caught off-guard and they got to be the victims. After that, since some people just sat there with their hands very close to their nose, we established a new rule that our hands have to touch the table first; then, when the slide announcing the group problem shows up, we touch our nose. On the third problem, we braced ourselves for the upcoming slide. As soon as the slide came up, everyone's hands shot at their nose, and we started pointing at people and yelling "It was you! It was you!" It all happened too fast so there was a tie between two people and one of them volunteered. Needless to say, there was a wild uproar of laughter; I laughed so hard I cried. It was so funny seeing everyone in the group instantaneously touching their nose.
I was also laughing because before putting up the slide, the professor was giving us hints on how to solve the problem. He asked, "So what does that mean we have to do?" and someone yelled out "Integrate" while yawning and it sounded really funny. The professor said, "Well I'm glad you're all awake in my class."
Haha! At least the nose rule keeps us alert in class. You snooze, you lose.

I'm becoming such a hypocrite! I look down on people who eat chocolate all the time, but I've been craving it a lot lately.
