I'm a University Student studying Physics. I would like something
physics related (e.g. Black Hole, Atom etc.) to replace the rather
cumbersome .sig that I have at the moment. I don't care how big it is
but preferably about 35 chars wide.
Also, could you E-maul it to me (Address below) as I don't read this NG
often.
Thanks

Which is not a question, but a true!!!
Something either is or isn't '2b' =)

Paul,
You got problems remembering Pi?
Here's a mnemonic =)
How I want a drink, alcoholic of course,
after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics.
Count the number of chars in a word=)
3.14159265358979
Okay, boring, but you might like it for a sig =)
