- Dave Green can do a fiendish Times sudoku in 23 seconds, while blindfolded.
- Dave Green only combs half of his beard, the rest follows by symmetry.
- Dave Green can isolate magnetic monopoles; he gives them to small orphan children as birthday presents.
- There are no such things as physical constants: they just think if they don't move Dave Green won't see them.
- Dave Green once fought Yoda, Darth Vader and the Emperor simultaneously. After he'd thrashed them all, he made them draw diagrams showing the Force at every stage of the battle.
- Dave Green has an entropy of zero: he's that cool.
- Dave Green invented photosynthesis.
- Dave Green first deduced the existence of quarks: he realised they must exist while playing Scrabble when he needed to get rid of a "Q", a "U", an "R" and a "K". He got a triple word score.
- Dave Green can escape a black hole. A black hole cannot escape Dave Green.
- Dave Green can recite pi - backwards.
- Dave Green once challenged God to a contest to see who knew the most about physics. God won as he is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and created the universe. It was a close thing though (only fourteen orders of magnitude).
- Dave Green knows the exact position and momentum of any given particle.
- LucasFilm pay Dave Green £5million in royalties every year as he built the original Death Star. It didn't destroy planets though, it destroyed stars. This explains the supernova research.
- Dave Green has counted to aleph-one, twice.
- Dave Green curled up the other seven space dimensions.
- Dave Green invented non-linear differential equations as something to do while the kettle was boiling.
- Judge Dredd's "I am the law" speech was based upon a speech made by Dave Green when other physicists confronted him regarding his EXP oracle, capable of outpacing time itself.
- Doc from the "Back to the Future" films was based upon a real person. Dave Green killed this man for not finishing all his supervision work.
- Dave Green is taller and thinner in the frequency domain.
- The following approximation is true:
- Machines from the future sent a Terminator back in time to assassinate Dave Green. It returned to the future with "Words" stamped all over it.
- It is no coincidence kryptonite is green.
- When foxes have a good idea they say it is "as cunning as Dave Green".
- When Dave Green does a press up he doesn't just push his body up, he pushes the Earth down. This is obvious from Newton's Third Law and the Conservation of Momentum.
- Dave Green never includes error estimates in his experimental write ups: his results are always exact by definition.
- In Star Trek, they use Sub-space fields to negate Relativity, inertial dampers to counter-act Newtonian Mechanics, and Heisenberg Compensators to remove the effects of Quantum Theory. There is, however, nothing that is able to nullify the effects of Dave Green.
- At the age of eight, Dave Green built a fully functional flux capacitor out of LEGO.
- If you were to compress Dave Green to below his Schwarzschild radius you would regret it.
- Dave Green does not expect the Spanish Inquisition: they know he asks the questions.
- The full title of the Physics Nobel Prize is: The Nobel Prize in Physics for Physicists Who Are Not Dr Dave Green. This is to give the others a chance.
- Dave Green can believe it's not butter; it is simple if you write down the physics involved.
- The Daleks once tried to kill Dave Green believing him to be the Doctor. They interrupted a supervision; Dave Green explained that he would be busy for an hour, but since they were here they might as well get some education. At the end of the supervision the Daleks realised they were obviously out matched. They left and never again tried to conquer the galaxy, principally as they didn't have the time with all the physics questions they were set.
- Dave Green has infinite potential. This makes it difficult to calculate his E-field.
- Dave Green is faster than a speeding bullet — in all frames of reference.
- Dave Green plays four-dimensional Tetris.
- Dave Green always interferes constructively.
- Dave Green once checkmated Kasparov in seven moves — while playing Monopoly.
- Dave Green spans all vector spaces. All the bases belong to him [sic Dave Green is always grammatically correct].
- Dave Green has never climbed Everest. It is too easy. When he wants to go mountaineering, he constructs a Dirac Delta Function out of 4 sheets of graph paper, some dark matter and a large amount of duct tape.
- They are called Maxwell's Equations, not Dave Green's Equations as Dave agreed to swap them for a packet of Hob Nobs. It was quicker to derive them than to walk to Sainsbury's.
- Green's function - used to solve inhomogeneous differential equations subject to boundary conditions - is not named after Dave Green but after British mathematician George Green. Dave Green's function is too awesome to be formulated by mathematicians, however there is a theory that when applied to the entire universe it would return the value 42. The proof of this can fit in any finite margin.
- Dave Green is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics.
