I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Hmm. Hil, that's what I got. But the website I was looking at said what -t said. So now I'm confused. Because 1/sqrt(2) and sqrt(2)/2...

Oh my god, just hit me on the head and put me out of my misery. There is NO REASON I couldn't have gotten that. None. But I kept looking at sqrt(2)/2 on the screen and back at 1/sqrt(2) on my paper and not getting it. Clearly this is not my day.

Yes, regular hexagon. Thank you, -t. I'm gonna see if that helps me. I may be back.

Because of the redundancy.

It kind of bothers me to, though I think that it's more of an oxymoron.

sounds tasty though. Now I am craving sorbet.

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.

IIRC, it's analogous to the formula for the area of a circle, something like ap/2, where a = distance from the center of the n-gon to a side along a perpendicular bisector of that side and p =perimeter=nx. You can derive a general formula for a, also.

Let's see...

Favorite summer dessert: homemade vanilla ice cream--a family 4th of July specialty once upon a time.

beach or pool: To be honest, I don't frequent either one, but the beach gets the edge because it's fun all year 'round and you can hear the ocean.

worst family vacation: I don't recall any bad ones, but I can recall some bad FV moments, like the time I got carsick and threw up on my brother's pillow.

best family vacation: The time we drove up Hwy 1 all the way to Eureka and stayed in this cute cabin and went picking blackberries almost every day.

Poop! I waited too long to get my US OPen Tix, and can only get day Passes for the MOnday of Labor Day weekend and night passes the other days. Off to ebay and craigslist.

It's either lemon or cherry (although when I was a kid the Wassam's drugstore had all different flavors of delicious icey stuff they called water ice...my favorite flavor was Blue).

I've seen it more flavors than that--depends a bit on where you're buying it. I've always liked watermelon flavor.

Ah crap. Jack 102.7 was my new favorite radio station this week. Until I found out it's a franchise and all contrived.

So you know how I said hexagon? Now pretend I said octagon.

...cause I'm just that dumb today.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Now pretend I said octagon.

That's a horse of a different, er, shape.
