To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Ah, math and boobies. You really can find it all here.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'm wondering how it ended up in this thread...

I guess I never did maths advanced enough to find out about blue-footed numbers.

Because we have brainy boobies that can kill you?

They must be evil twins. (unlike The Evil Twins named Mary-Kate & Ashley)

Not so obscure that it wasn't referenced on this board, this very day.

eta²: There are infinitely many integers > 0, but there are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. So the number of real numbers is a higher order infinity (or something) than the number of integers.

Yes, there are more real numbers than integers, but that argument doesn't really work. There's also infinitely many rational numbers between 0 and 1, but in fact there are an equal number of integers and rational numbers.

Also? What would transcendental or surreal boobies be like? Discrete/continuous/differentiable/analytic boobies?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Do you want me to explain why there are more real numbers than integers? 'Cause I'll do it, don't think I won't.

A boobie is a boobie is a boobie. Unless it's blue-footed and then it's a bird.

Well, you know, once the boobies invade, you can never go back. Take Janet Jackson, for example...
