For those of you who don't read "New Scientist", they held a competition recently for science related pick up lines called "Flirt with Science".
Here are some of the winners :
"I need a seed for my pseuod-random number generator - could I have your phone number?"
"Your Universe or mine?"
"Hello, did you now that I've invented calorie-free chocolate, and I've got some back at my place?"
"You're so sweet I am developing insulin resistance."
"Did you know that if oysters had no natural enemies, in 10 years the world would be 28 miles deep in oysters?"
"Of all the bars, on all the planets where conditions support intelligent, bipedal, carbon-based life forms......"
"Forget what they say about butterflies, I think that you could whip up a storm just by fluttering your eyelashes."
& my favourites :
"What's a nice girl like you doing in a superposition like this?"
"You have a hyperfine structure."
The ultimate geeky one :
"Hello, I am Bob. You must be Alice. You haven't changed a bit!"
(No doubt this would be followed by ten minutes of Woody Allen style blustering while you try to explain how quantum encryption can be funny even though she isn't called Alice, and no, your name isn't actually Bob.....)
