'Dirty Girls'
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.
I've never been to a Ruby Tuesdays, all I know about them is their ads, which feature hamburgers with shrimp on them. That's not appetizing.
I have completed the task that kept me from calling in sick this morning, yet I feel compelled to stay at work until 4. Stupid compulsion.
Wasn't there an article about people paying more than face value (when shipping is included) for this sort of thing?
Yep, that's why I suggested it.
msbelle, got it.
I like veggie Buffalo wings.
Vegetables don't have wings.
Then again, chicken don't have fingers.
I like veggie Buffalo wings.
I like the Morningstar Farm ones. Weird, yet yum.
Ms. McKellar, now a semiregular on "The West Wing" playing a White House speechwriter, Elsie Snuffin, is probably the only person on prime-time television who moonlights as a cyberspace math tutor.
Her mathematics knowledge extends well beyond calculus. As a math major at the University of California, Los Angeles, she also took more esoteric classes, the ones with names like "complex analysis" and "real analysis," and she pondered making a career move to professional mathematician.
"I love that stuff," Ms. McKellar said last month during a visit to Manhattan after a play-reading in the Hamptons. Her conversation was peppered with terminology like "epsilons" and "limsups" (pronounced "lim soups").
"I love continuous functions and proving if functions are continuous or not," she said.
She may also be the only actress, now or ever, to prove a new mathematical theorem, one that bears her name. Certainly, she is the only theorem prover who appears wearing black lingerie in the July issue of Stuff magazine. Even in that interview, she mentioned math.
Real Analysis is not that esoteric! Dear, lord. However, the rest of the stuff is cool.
Heh. I love unexpected math nerds almost as much as closet rock and roll fans. (Though I already knew Danica had studied it in college.)
Unexpected Math Nerd: Phil Alvin, lead singer of The Blasters. He went back to grad school when the band ended.
Unexpected Rock Fan: June Lockhart, the mom on Lost In Space who had a huge Bowie poster over her bed in 1972.
Didn't Heddey Lamarr (no, not Hedley!) help to invent sonar or some such WWII submarine thingy?
