A buddy of mine is a research physicist at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. He did his dissertation on how bubbles form at the sub-molecular level. We call him "The Bubble God".

So this made me chuckle.

[–]Elfking[S] 7 points8 points ago

lol sounds pretty cool! The guy also said "God created facts so don't use them against God" ಠ_ಠ

[–]PerfectFaro 14 points15 points ago

You really need to stop hanging out with dumbasses.

[–]Elfking[S] 5 points6 points ago

He goes to my school, I actually don't mind because he cracks me up with shit like this.

[–]on_the_redpill 5 points6 points ago

Stupid is contagious though. At least wear nitrile gloves and a facemask

[–]cantankerix 0 points1 point ago

Level A for my money.

Edit: Added link

[–]Jicragg 2 points3 points ago

Please post any other gems. He sounds like a very special person.

[–]Elfking[S] 1 point2 points ago

well, just today he said "You may seem smarter than me, but to the Lord you're a retard".

[–]Negro_Napoleon -3 points-2 points ago

Got a TL;DR: ?

[–]taterbizkit[!] 2 points3 points ago

He's the sort who refuses to dumb anything down. When I asked him for a quick explanation, his answer was "I could explain it to you, but the explanation would be nothing but math."

[–]Stormageddon222 0 points1 point ago

I'm a physicist and I want to see to damn math! Would you happen to have a link to his dissertation paper?

[–]taterbizkit[!] 1 point2 points ago

He received his PhD in 1993, so I doubt it's online. I'll ask him tho.

[–]Stormageddon222 0 points1 point ago

That's cool, I just thought it may be interesting to read.

[–]slb1107 1 point2 points ago

Nathan Fillion!

[–]Stormageddon222 1 point2 points ago

Nathan Fillion makes bubbles?

[–]slb1107 1 point2 points ago

Yes he does. He can make anything.

[–]nermid 3 points4 points ago

I am watching Castle right now.

Reddit, you're scaring me.

[–]badoon 6 points7 points ago

Everybody knows- farting in the bath. Simple.

[–]lamenta3 2 points3 points ago

Surface tension.

[–]on_the_redpill 2 points3 points ago

Yo surface, relax man. Chill.

[–]Blondiey 1 point2 points ago

This is how I feel whenever I visit my family in Mississippi...

[–]on_the_redpill 0 points1 point ago

not even worth it

[–]richt519 1 point2 points ago

You sure he wasn't just using the phrase or making a joke. I even occasionally say "God only knows" just like I occasionally exclaim "Jesus Christ"

[–]Elfking[S] 1 point2 points ago

I'm positive, he's a genuine idiot

[–]Midianite_Caller 1 point2 points ago

Don't mention magnets to him.

[–]sheeshSGL 1 point2 points ago

Makes me think of that shitty ICP video. "Yo, bubbles, how do they work?"

[–]heb0 2 points3 points ago

that shitty ICP video

all of them?

[–]sheeshSGL 0 points1 point ago

Only seen the one cause my friend did the "hey you gotta see this stupid fucking video." May I never see another.

[–]heb0 0 points1 point ago

Actually, now that I think about it, same here. I was just assuming.

[–]AnthonyMichaelAngelo 0 points1 point ago

I could not tell you how many times this has happened to me, but I know it's more than 500 at this point, easy. Solid GIF.

[–]gahvandure 0 points1 point ago

I'll upvote anything with Nathan Fillion in it.

[–]XxcontaminatexX 0 points1 point ago

I'm confused, how can something that doesn't exist know anything at all?

You might want to place this image on a no-flag list. It's a pretty popular meme, these days.

[–]Ryuuzoji 0 points1 point ago

Where exactly is it from, and what's the context?

[–]mhacdebhandia 2 points3 points ago

It's from the ABC series Castle.

I forget the context. But I can guess he's talking to his mother.

[–]nermid 0 points1 point ago

I think he was talking to Alexis, actually. I forget about what, but I think it was following a conversation about letting her make her own mistakes or something.

[–]Ryuuzoji 0 points1 point ago

Anyone know which episode :D I'd like to watch it :D
