You know you've got no life when one of the only things you do in your spare time is calculus and stuff of that nature...

 

HEY!

You know you use ... too much when most of your posts end with that...

Edited June 11, 2017 by Astrofox

[kerbiloid]

When you understand that HEY abbreviation in the previous post means High-Energy Yield, and you both use this exclamation to express your emotions..

[ARS]

When you facepalmed every time you see spacecraft in movie banks for turning

[TheKosanianMethod]

I have almost 1 1/2 hours left, and Reddit is blocked.
