Sorry, Trudes. I walked away for a bit.

Um, no. I'm on a reinstalled system after my hard drive seized up. I don't have a message program installed yet. Can you send me an email?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

A bit. This isn't about Egyptian methods of calculating them, is it?

ALL numbers are complex to me.

No! This is about polar forms, or how to express 3-4i as |z|(cos theta + i sin theta). I'm okay with the z (it's 5), but I'm a little unsure about theta. From my notes, apparently it's inverse tangent(-4/3), but then I should check to make sure the angle measurement I come up with is in the right quadrant, and that's where I get a little uncertain.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

They are rerunning the whole thing on Sundance this weekend in a marathon.

That's great. I missed the first three episodes. How many episodes of the show is there?

Behold... 3. Become mesmerised in its intricacies! You are powerless to resist its seductive fascination as it saps your will and makes you its willing slave!

Don't you mean (3 + 0i), nudge nudge, wink wink?
