Often?

Ohhhh wooooah lonesome meeeeeee....

Yo - two words: Mathematica Quicktime Export, ok 3 words.

Seriously, the fuckin Bull Shit if you're a math-multi-media-geek-tryin-to-finish-your-thesis-and-make-it-look-cool-so-noone-asks-you-shit-cause-you-don't-know-dick.

I got B.Sc. in math, so everyone I know thinks I know math. But you obviously know much more than I ever did. It's upsetting.

Math limerick:
A Mathematician named Hall
Had an octohedronal ball.
The square of its weight
plus his pecker, times eight
is his phone number. Give him a call.

Most uncomfortable sexplace: airplane lavatory.

Al, you are the coolest person ever.

(read aloud)
Did you hear that some US troops were inspecting a school in Iraq for chem weapons and the like. Yea, they found rullers, calculators, protractors, pencils, all kinds of shit! Pres. Bush said this is huge because they've finally found Iraq's weapons of math instruction.

Haa haa, Fuckin A I'm lame!

I have a math degree... and when I was in college, there were no good looking women in the math classes. None. And no cool chicks either. Except for this one girl who drank a Sharps in class everyday. I think she just liked opening it and having all the other math nerds look at her. She wasn't good looking but I still chubbed up sometimes because she was the ONLY thing to look at (except when I drew nipples on a sine wave). We also used to put formulae into our graphing calculators to see who could make a graph that looked like a vagina. I usually won.

And the Trogdor comes in the....nniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!!!

Alright, I see what you're saying. What you call pseudoscience (I presume you mean astrology primarily, perhaps the Kabalah, and other occult thought-systems) is most definately bad science, in the sense that you can't really apply say, the Scientific Method to it. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing; in fact I think astrology is a system based on intuitive or subjective observation versus objective or impersonal observation. A repetition of the same experiment astrologically would tend to produce different results for any person conducting it and even different results based on the time and/or place that same person followed the same set of steps. But that's part of it's value, it serves the same purpose as religion often does; giving personal meaning to an impersonal world.

I'm actually thinking about doing an anthropological
analysis of the Tarot, but it's difficult to determine an approach (emic or etic) so it'll take me awhile to get to it, but I have a theory that it'd make for a really interesting Master's Thesis, if I were to go back to school at some point.

I'm not sure I understand the difference between non-Euclidian and Euclidian, as I was told, they're essentially contradictory, but the person who told me about it was a philospher, not a mathematician, so her understanding of it probably wasn't the same as you'd have. Her argument was largely existential: in standard geometry we're taught that parallel lines never intersect and alot of life is built around such precepts so along comes non-Euclidian geometry which says that they may in fact meet, and what impact does that have on the nature of reality.

I'm curious how quantum laws change depending on scale, is it in a sense, the matter of perception? The only example I can think of would be the 'flatness' of the Earth, and how humans at one time thought it flat until they gained enough perspective to see that it is fact round, and then not just round but spherical.

Right, so thanks for the response at any rate, it was more allong the well-reasoned lines I was hoping to hear. I'm always looking for intelligent input, because I've had some very strange experiences with occult knowledge which really turned my head around from what I was always taught in science-based university courses which is frustrating on some levels. It just seems that certain oughtn't be able to exist because they don't appear to have a rational explanation. Yet they do exist. In some way.

how do you expect to burninate the _anything_ without a lighter? at any rate, you still get coolness points for the trogdor doodle.

also. sushi = t3h r0xx0r.

Wow. You've totally got me wanting to go back to school. Math is deck. I just wish I'd had girls like you in my classes.

Smart and beautiful AND tough? You rock.

Thanks for the reply about the corset. I thought it would probably be lost in that sea of comments you got about your photo set! I was really hoping you had found it online somewhere and ta da lucky me you did!!! *is giddy*

Stop studying, you're already smart enough!

be careful with that complex analysis . . . it can leave a residue.
