Every Halloween we have a costume contest and a pumpkin carving competition.  Prof. Carroll always wins the pumpkin carving, but we will get him next year moo-ha-ha-ha.

 

 

The entrants in the non-physics theme category were Tinkerbell, Jessica Tucker, Prof. Koehn and Prof. Thomsen.

 

 

The winner was Jeff dressed as Dr. Thomsen.

 

You can see why he won; the resemblance is uncanny.

 

 

Prof. Koehn and Jessica Tucker, you decide who is who.

 

The entrants in the physics theme category were i-hat, Research Physics Barbie, human force diagram, the Koehn-Tucker conundrum, relative axes and Dr. Thomsen.

 

 

The winner was the human force diagram, but only second and third place received prizes.

 

Dr. CarrollŐs pumpkin was very scary.  It was a falling pumpkin complete with a force diagram and the solution, which was graphed on the back.
