Physics Building Poster

On my way out of UVA's physics building after having used their women's facility, I noticed a poster on the bulletin board for a symposium somewhere. Although I know chaos is a mathemtical field and it can be involved in particle physics experiments, and non-linear methods is a type of math technique, the title on the poster struck me. It was titled "Reduce Your Chaos Through Non-linear Methods." So what would this mean to a non-physics person?

* TO A MOTHER OF EIGHT: Use lots of duct tape configured in mobius strips.

* TO A MAILMAN: Don't bother sorting the mail and drive any route you want!

* A PATIENT ON HOUSE: Have Lupus and don't allow them to do a lumbar puncture.
