dihydrogen-monoxide, its' deadly, deadly, stuff! It is a main component in Cancer, Nuclear Power Plants, and Acid Rain. IT CAN KILL YOU!!!

I once got about 50 people at my high school to sign a petition banning H2O for these reasons .

One student to one of our female mentors: "You reminds me of my mom." So, her new nickname is Mom.

This one happened last year, me, as well as the other animators were stopped by the chairman's group and asked us; "What's the first thing you hear about when you think about trees?" One of the animation people said; "Some trees are big."

Heh, before the Trenton regional in '08 our team president sent an email reminding everyone to pack underwear and go to the bathroom before we left. Ben (incidentally our current president) replied "Who are you, our Mommy?" It stuck. Having graduated, she's now officially (and referred to as) Mommy.

"I don't know, it's FIRST... It doesn't have to make sense."

My team says "Team Captains are like moms, they tell you what to do and clean up after you."

Me: "Why did you guys let the Magic escape?"

This is after magic smoke came out of our robot.

"this isn't lining up how did you measure it?"

"I measured it with my thoughts"

To our safety captain:

"hey brian, is that thing safe? It looks likely to break"

Safety Captain turns to me, and in the manner of a communist dictatorship poster, just says "Safety hinders progress" and goes back to work.

He was joking of course. But that's now what we say whenever we build something slightly sketchy looking.

That can't be good

"When in an awkward situation, MORE COWBELL!"
-Said when our mentor walked in on me and my friend imaginary cowbell-ing.

"THAT'S NOT SAFE!" "But I'm wearing safety goggles!"
-Said when anyone is doing something stupid, but not pertaining to robot an power tools. AKA one person carry five sheet pizzas.

Student A: "What should I do with this partially stripped screw?"

Student B: "Strip it all the way."

Student A: "Why?"

Student C: "Because things aren't as fun when they're only partially stripped."
