<p>And what are the costs like?</p>
<p>The Indian Thread’s motto at the moment: Sona si Latine loqueris. (Honk if you speak Latin) :D</p>
<p>Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes works as well though. That would express all of our SATs though. 
</p>
<p>(If you can read this, you’re overeducated.) </p>
<p>Anyway, in the end, it’s very simple. It all comes down to this:</p>
<p>Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari? </p>
<p>How much really? :D</p>
<p>@Tintin: We’re not this mad really, it’s an off day, for all of us…</p>
<p>Re: Canadian Universities, I’m not too sure, not applying there myself, but I’m sure they’re others on TiT who are. College Admissions in general, would be a better forum.</p>
<p>Canadian unis (on general) costs bout CAD24000-CAD32000(living+Tuition) per yr…the cost varies from uni to uni…</p>
<p>English/Schminglish. Latin forever!</p>
<p>Besides, it makes you seem erudite. :D</p>
<p>Oh and if the President in the West Wing world at least can speak Latin, so can I. :)</p>
<p>Shrivats – I have no idea. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, really? 
Yeah, Latin is good for erudition. (And if the guys on Supernatural can use it, I can too!)</p>
<p>Personally, I am this mad a fair fraction of the time. Of course, I’m also trying to write a steampunk-ish novel involving math and Victorian history and Greek myth instead of studying for my Boards, so that may well be an interestingly clear indicator of such.</p>
<p>@issac:- Thank you.</p>
<p>@Shrivats:-OK.Thank you.Perhapes my entrance timing is to be blamed then.</p>
<p>Laughing like mad here…</p>
<p>The answer’s obvious Noldo, about 42, excluding chucks of wood too small to be seen, and other wood to light changes. (This be Indian Thread, must include physics somewhere… (E = mc2 and all that jazz))</p>
<p>I like double parenthesis… :D</p>
<p>Oh yes, and the reason I’m a bit mad today is because I’m watching Boston Legal. (The best show in the world) :D</p>
<p>P.S. Denny Crane</p>
<p>Yes, 42 (Hitchhiker FTW!), of coure. But 42 what, exactly? Grammes? Kilogrammes? Atomic mass units? </p>
<p>(Parentheses are (fun).)</p>
<p>Am currently watching ‘Doctor Who’ instead of studying. Everyone deserves a break, and I get my fun out of 1970s science-fiction telly shows with bubblewrap monsters (really). Perfectly normal.</p>
<p>Physics…hmmm…<em>Rubs hands</em>…
I think I m goin mad…coz I hav startd to search topics like M-Theory on Wiki…</p>
<p>Umm… I’ll go for 42 Smoots… :D</p>
<p>I thought that was a unit of length? :p</p>
<p>Edited to inform you lot that [url=<a href=“http://www.xkcd.com/c224.html]this[/url”>xkcd: Lisp]this[/url</a>] is the best thing ever. Srsly.</p>
<p>Ah argh, you looked it up. Must get more obtuse, more obtuse!</p>
<p>lorem ipsum delorum…</p>
<p>You know I think we’ve discovered how to get this thread back up on its feet. Talk in Latin, exchange obscure references to TV Shows, and just be obtuse. :D</p>
<p>Hah, I didn’t look it up! It’s actually included in a problem in Halliday & Resnick’s Fundamentals of Physics (the Units and Measurement section), and it amused me so much that I remembered about it.</p>
<p>Also, should I comment upon lorem ipsum? (<em>cough</em> Bastardised Latin from a Cicero text, if I remember aright…At least, the stuff they use on design previews. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet etc etc etc, wot has no meaning.)</p>
<p>Edit to add: Yes, so very right. Making obscure jokes == thread salvation.</p>
<p>Well, I use University Physics…cool book…and I.E.Irodov for IIT problems…
YAY…1100 posts!!!</p>
<p>Nope, wrong there. It’s just random text designed to look like Latin, or in fact any Romance language. Used for English normally though.</p>
<p>I found it back when I was a naive college applicant, in the good old days, when I was trawling college websites on Wiki. :)</p>
<p>Oh and it’s 42 Graves.</p>
<p>Shrivats – I just Wikipedia-ed lorem ipsum for my own satisfaction (!), and it does seem to [reference</a> Cicero](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum]reference”>Lorem ipsum - Wikipedia). Er. Seems to be random word-selection from De finibus bonorum et malorum. (I did do a web-design proposal for a friend once, in which I used actual classics – some Plutarch, IIRC – for the sample text. She was terribly amused.)</p>
<p>issac – yeah, the Irodov book’s pretty good. Can’t say I like the Indian solutions to it very much, but I had fun doing some of the problems. (Of course, now that IIT is multiple-choice – for my batch at least – there is an automatic limit upon exactly how crazy they can get with questions.)</p>
<p>I’m outwikied. :(</p>
<p>That’s the problem with editing isn’t it, you’re never sure when to respond.</p>
