Perils of geekhood
Over SMS this afternoon...
Me: "Hey, we're going to the canteen. Do you want us to get you anything?"
XL: "Can you get an Avogadro milkshake for me?"
Me (incredulously): "AVOGADRO?! You want a 6.023 x 1023 milkshake?!"
XL: "Haha, don't know how to spell, lah!"
Avocado, she meant. Avogadro must be flipping in his grave.
