Strain: Dimensionless

So here is the great story of the day. I have this professor {Dr. Christiansen [I call him Hank (but not to his face)]} who is a total pimp. He teaches all of my civil engineering classes. I had him at the end of last semester for Ce En 103, and now I have him for both Ce En 203 and 204. Anyway, one of the best parts of what he does is how he responds to stupid questions. Today, we were talking about stress and strain on materials. And this is about how the conversation went...

"So, as you can see, you divide your units, and since it is unit length per unit length, strain is dimensionless." -Hank

"Wait, Dr. C, so do you want us to write our strain in, like, inches per inches?" -Dumb student

"Uh... no... I just barely told you it was dimensionless...."

Most people aren't going to appreciate that for what it is, but a few of you out there will love the hilarity of that.

I came home with the full intention of doing my homework early and having a relaxing night, but I fell asleep for 3 hours. Now it is about 9:30, and I am still facing a butt-load of homework. Lewd.

• Oh, it happened again, and this time there is proof...
• The only reason Dubai exists to create crap that is amazing, which nobody really needs. For example, I am going to live here one day...

Time to get working on homework... as always.
