Scientific chat-up lines
 
New Scientist has just announced the winners of their competition to write science-based chat-up lines. Aside from variations of "Is that a mass spectrometer in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?", the winners were:

Quote:

Would there be any resistance if I asked to take you ohm?
(Emma Byrne, London, UK)

I love the way you smell so different from my dad.
(Toshi Knell, Nowra, New South Wales, Australia)

Would kissing you increase global warming and damage the Arctic irreversibly, or is it just enough to break the ice?
(Andy McCready, Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK)

I've had my ion you.
(Gary Duffala, Rio Rancho, New Mexico, US)

Baby, you must be a start codon because you are turnin' me on.
(Jessica Swanson, Stratford, Prince Edward Island, Canada)

I don't wish to brag, but in several parallel universes I invented the internet, warned the world about global warming, ran for president and won the Nobel peace prize.
(Yonatan Silver, Jerusalem, Israel)

Hello, I've just taken part in the clinical trial of a new drug to help memory loss; could you tell me, do I come here often?
(John French, Wellington, Somerset, UK)

You are definitely the woman of my REM phase.
(Giuliano Aluffi, Milan, Italy)

Er... hello... um... er. Oh look! Our shoes have similar spectral characteristics.
(Jon White, Rampton, Cambridgeshire, UK)

Meiosis?
(Kirstie Brogan Grace, Grays, Essex, UK)
I'm sure there have been chat-up line threads before but I'm too lazy to search for them.
Share your science-based chat up lines with us here.
And any other good, reliable, bad, outrageous, notorious or just plain funny chat up lines.

Chat up?

Clodfobble 12-22-2007 10:56 AM

Australian = chat up line
American = pick-up line

Sorry.
I was following the language in new scientist which is British.
Australians use both versions.

So, want to come back to my office and see my socio-linguistic dissertations?

Hmmmm.... about as successful as a thread as they would be in the bar.....

Kerotan 12-23-2007 08:44 PM

I defy all of you thinking that these are poor!

All of these would be brilliant, the trick to know the if the target is a geek, because quite frankly some asking you to explain what ohm or spectral meant while you were hitting on them would really cramp anyones style.

monster 12-23-2007 09:45 PM

but if your after another nerd, no need to chat 'em up......

Elspode 12-24-2007 02:07 PM

"Out of all the faces in the bar tonight, yours most closely approximates the Golden Ratio."

"I just can't take my olfactory bulb off of your pheromonal output."

Your appearance of overall health, fitness, and signals of post-adolescent maturity make you an excellent choice for mating. I am willing to preen myself for an equivalent psycho-biological ritualistic judgment on your behalf. Although I believe that the combination of our DNA would result in the improvement of our species, I am willing to attempt to prevent same through the use of a barrier device.

:lol:

Actually I love the idea of personality-specific chat up lines.
Except mine would be literary and my most successful relationships have been with men in whom I awakened a love of reading, rather than those who already had it. Well certainly regarding poetry anyway.

Ah if only a man faced with fog would advocate looking for cat footprints, he'd make me swoon...

I guess I could try: "Your physical features conform very closely to the ratio of 1:1.618."

Nah.
