Top ten scientific pick-up lines

According to me, anyway.  The last couple issues of New Scientist have been publishing the results of their "Flirt with Science" contest.  I didn't enter, alas, but I'm going to be on the lookout for next year's contest.  That I differ from the magazine's chosen winners and runners-up is probably a reflection of my own scientific interests, but what a fun mix of education and entertainment!  

Why am I posting my own favorite top ten here?  Because . . .

Well, um . . .

Because it's my site, dammit, and I'll post what I want to, even if it's not about social enterprise. 

So here they are, my top ten.  Your mileage will no doubt differ.

"Looking at you, the creationists may have a point after all."

"How can I know a hundred digits of pi, but not the 11 digits of your phone number?"

"Forget what they say about butterflies, I think that you could whip up a storm just by fluttering your eyelashes."

"As a quantum physicist, the moment I observed you I determined that we were heading to your place or mine."

"What's a nice girl like you doing in a superposition like this?"

"You have a hyperfine structure."

"Baby, you must be a start codon because you are turnin' me on."

"Meiosis?"

"You're so sweet I am developing insulin resistance."

And for the sentimental favorite, here's one that actually worked for Michael Boddy of New South Wales, Australia:

"Did you know that if oysters had no natural enemies, in 10 years the world would be 28 miles deep in oysters?"
(Boddy:  "We married in 1968 and are still going strong.")

Makes me wonder what the Boddy count is now in New South Wales!
