    Greetings
In summary, the conversation revolved around a new member joining the forum and expressing excitement to be a part of such a supportive community. The conversation later shifted to discussing favorite fish and a potential PF Sisterhood, with Evo being the ring leader and mentioning some new members who have joined. The purpose and qualifications for the Sisterhood were briefly discussed but not fully revealed. The conversation ended with a recommendation for a music album.

I've decided to register after a few visits to this wonderful site. I recently have returned to school (took me 10 years to figure out what I wanted to do:redface:) for undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering and/or Applied Mathematics.

The members of this forum seem to be extremely helpful, and I hope to contribute as I learn. I am very excited to have found such a wonderful community with whom I can share my passion(s)!:biggrin:

What an interesting question!

For my money, I don't know that it gets any better than a good seared ahi (sesame crust) on top of some mixed greens - white rice one the side. :smile:

Ooh that does sound good. Doesn't get you out of the PF fish whacking initiation though. :biggrin:

Hmm I believe the question was never answered. So let's say the favorite fish is probably the Tylochromis lateralis

Much less painful than the Ahi tuna, I'd imagine. Excellent name as well! :approve:

I believe this procedure is exclusive to the PF Sisterhood, if my research is correct. I wasn't sure what was going on until I viewed AverageJoe's thread and found some subtle clues.

How do you know we actually have a PF Sisterhood? :biggrin:

The above post inspired me to do a site search of this forum, with the term 'Sisterhood', using google. Although most of the posts mentioning the Sisterhood were fairly old, I did not see any information about it no longer being around, only that it was https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=122526". I would guess that Evo is/was a member?
I am the ring leader.

New sisters added since your well researched thread are Lisab, GeorginaS, Drizzle, mcknia, ~christina~ & physicsgirlPHD, that I can remember off hand, although the shoe sizes of some have not yet been verified (exceptions have been made), the original sisters all wore a size 8 shoe except Tsu.

Interesting!

Is shoe size the primary qualifying characteristic for admission? What is the Sisterhood's purpose?

Maybe I am stepping into classified information. I am half-expecting to receive the "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" line. :smile:

At any rate, thanks for the warm welcome! :smile:
