NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Patrick’s Pub in Greenwich Village is an inclusive space for women, a sentiment that should be shared by more university STEM departments.
However, last Thursday night, Emily Rutgers had a complete stranger try to repeatedly get her number.
After denying his request multiple times, Emily decided to scribble (602) 220 000 000 000 000 000 000 on to a bar napkin.
When questioned on the unusual phone number, she replied back, “I’m from out of town.”
Emily’s ideal man is Amedeo Avogadro, the namesake of Avogadro’s constant and Avogadro’s law.
“He might be dead for almost 200 years, but Avogadro makes me feel more alive than any man currently out there.”
Her friends want her to get out there and explore. Jannah, Emily’s roommate, is convincing her to broaden her horizons:
“There are so many other guys out there. Like Max Planck. He has a Nobel Prize! Also, he’s probably super fit from all that Planck-ing.”
But it seems that Emily is not convinced. “We all know who has the bigger constant! 6.02214076×10^23 verses 6.62607015×10^-34, it’s a no brainer for me.”
We decided to catch up with the stranger, who identified himself as Ludwig Boltzmann, to get his feedback.
“I just met the most beautiful woman ever, and got her number! I think she accidentally wrote an extra 14 digits, though.”
After breaking the news to Ludwig, he took it with stride.
“Things could be worse, I could be studying for the MCAT. Or going to grad school because it seems like the “smart choice,” but in reality, I don’t have a definite plan and hate being an adult, but I need to make some progress. Also so it could be a conversation filler for when friends/family ask me what is going on in life.”
