THURSTON AVE.—On a crisp winter afternoon, Isa Tan ‘29 was trudging back from her PHYS 1110 lab when she was treated to an educational real-world demonstration.
“I probably deserved this for getting a 4 on AP Physics,” Tan reasoned, labelling the experience “only slightly less humbling than my last prelim.”
“It’s strange—I like to think of myself as a pretty charming guy,” said kinetic friction, who is known for hits like “hockey” and “sledding” outside a prolific career in humiliating freshmen from weird places where it doesn’t snow, like Hell, or California. “Gravity is the one ruining the fun as usual.”
When enquired about his relationship with longtime partner static friction, kinetic reported that they were still on rocky terms, atomically speaking.
“I’d like to visit static more often, but they live just over the hill,” kinetic remarked. “And you really have to be careful on hills in the winter!”
