'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Key Lime Pie seems seasonal to me. At least, there are certainly times of year when restaurants that have served it to me in the past don't have it. I'm willing to believe that season is summer.
I don't think I've ever had strawberry pie. When I'm making strawberries into dessert, it's probably gonna be shortcake. Mmmm, shortcake.
I read in AM New York today that he signed a contract with Sirius.
Favorite summer dessert?
Raspberry sorbet or Dairy Queen Blizzard with M&M's
Beach or pool?
Beach (on an ocean)
Predictions on the overplayed song of summer '05?
I don't listen to current pop music.
What was your worst family summer vacation?
None. They were all good even if I got a little sick.
What was your best family summer vacation?
Scuba diving in Bonaire in the south Caribbean for a week.
Anybody mathy around? I've got a geometry question I really should be able to get and feel like a doofus about.
Among other things, I apparently can't properly solve the equation y*y + y*y = 1. Which is getting me down, man. Maybe I need more sleep.
Basically, how do I find the area of a hexagon with sides of length x?

y = 1/sqrt(2).
I think I remember geometry.
Is that 2x^2=1? So x=SQRT(2)/2?
Favorite summer dessert?
Water ice! Also, waterumelon--coconut rum poured over chunked watermelon.
Beach or pool?
Beach, or if that's not possible, the Quarry!
Predictions on the overplayed song of summer '05?
I don't listen to commercial radio at all and even I've heard that Gwen Stefani song. So I'm going with that.
What was your worst family summer vacation?
Oy. Probably the year my parents, aunt, brother and sister-in-law and 2 kids rented a beach house in NC. It actually was mostly fun and relaxing and I loved being with my nieces but my sister-in-law and dad bickered the whole time.
What was your best family summer vacation?
Actually the year before the bad one we rented the same house and my dad only stayed for part of the time and my best friends from here came down for part of the week. Really helped diffuse the tension and we could just enjoy each other and the lounging.
What is this water ice of which you speak? Is it like a sno cone?
Hexagon with side of length x = 6 equilateral triangles with side of length x, so the area is
6*(x/2*xSQRT(3)/2)/2 = (3√3)*x^2/4
(eta: wait, regular hexagon, right?)
There's a formula for the area of a regular n-gon. I had it memorized at some point, but can't remember it now.
