Not to show my geekiness too much, but I got to rename a variable today. We were working a problem for Transport Fundamentals where there were two gammas, one uppercase and one lowercase. In addition, there were starred versions of each too. So in other words, our variables were little gamma, little gamma star, big gamma, and big gamma star (I would have put the symbols, but blogger doesn't seem to recognize them as anything other than "g" or "G"). So I renamed the big gamma to "rock" and then we got "rock" and "rock star", and everyone started laughing and the name stuck which was kinda neat in the way only a biomedical engineer can concieve. Special thanks to Jessica Krase, Sai Krishna, and Payam Roshandel for adopting its use.
