haha, yeah it seemed like something I should have a vauge idea about.
Anyway I sent an email to my terrorist friend in physics, asking if he had any ideas. There may be a friendly phd student in on the of the theory groups that might be able to help. Some people in the condensed matter group might be able to help but they are probably all slightly disinterested. Nor would they be keen to hear from me after I wasted their vacation scholarship money a while ago...*whistles*

Ah, condensed matter would be the thing.
I might have to make the walk over.
How did you waste the scholarship money? Hookers and blow?

Yarp.
Birdwatching would have been good in Chicago in the summer, but they're only sending Ph.D students as they can get travel funding. Anyhoo, I'm off to bed. Night all!

They gave me an account on a cluster machine. Told me to modify input files and run code.
I did. Then sat in a stinky fly infested office reading phd comics and lusting after the chick in high energy. It wasn't really my fault that the code didn't converge after a week of computation. It's probably my fault she doesn't talk to me any more.

Bloody code.
You should have asked her if she'd like to converge with you some evening after drinks...
This is why scientists often find it hard to make relationships.
Wouldn't biscuit = raw_input("What sort of biscuit did you buy?") have to come before the if/elif?
Otherwise, your biscuit is always "x" until after the conditionals, which I can only assume is some kind of experimental Jammy Dodger/Rich Tea hybrid...

Ah, sort of.
I forgot to add the menu options bit. That way the bicuit = "x" triggers the menu to print. Not only that, once in the loop, biscuit is then a local variable and the value of the global biscuit can be ignored if replaced by the raw input.
