Text of t-shirt front:Top Ten Reasons Why Quantum is Better Than Statmech
10. Only Dennis can sleep late enough to still be in bed during quantum.
The rest of us just skip.
9. Pi is pretty much one. Or was that two? Whatever.
8. Jiang does Puneet's problem sets
7. Bob is thermodynamically large
6. Experiments with the entangled, two-body, particle in a box problem
5. Problem sets aren't due until solutions are posted. And then they
are still not due.
4. Bob will bet you his Nobel Prize money against your first born child
that quantum computers will never work.
3. We give him beer, we get answers
2. Final? What final?
1. If it weren't for our communist TA, Laughlin would have taught us
how to build nuclear weapons long ago.
REASON IS GREAT! ELIMINATE QUANTUM DEVIL! LET BEGIN CRUSADE! -Jiang

I think that I will just give everyone good grades. -Laughlin
Marc, were you sleeping? -Laughlin
No, but I will be. -Marc
"C-" all around! -Ray
If electrons were tensors, then horses could fly. -Laughlin
I'm right, and you're wrong. -Laughlin
Those fucking mathematicians, they want to prove things in physics. How silly. -Jiang
I thought, I thought, I thought my head off. -Jiang
I have an uncontrollable urge to take the dot product. -Laughlin

4. Puneet brings us cookies
3. Renormalization groupies
2. A textbook from 1965 is better than no book at all
1. All the quantum I need to know, I learned from statmech.
I was going to TA for Reif, but then they told me he was dead. -Willick
I will fill a building with angry psychopaths. -Dave
We already have a Math Department. -Nelia
Almost all of you took physics 70 from me because Nikhil isn't here, that little...... -Willick
I've never been stopped before by a lack of wisdom. -Willick
Luckily, nothing that I say matters. -Willick
And then I began to have second thoughts... -Willick
