Kristen, I am still contemplating getting it too. Which color did you go with? I was thinking the auburn, but I don't know.

Okay, WNTW (British) says, "Trousers and jeans should fall to the bottom of the heel."

Really? But then don't you step on them?

Cereal:

Can anyone here outline the proof for why the square root of 8 is irrational? I've written one, I'm just not sure it's right.

Perkins, I went with the taupe because that's the brow tech color I wanted.

I need to find out what willa is wearing tonight. If she brought a dress, she's gonna kill me dead if I try to wear jeans and a sparkly top.

Really? But then don't you step on them?

Not usually. They'd need to be seriously longer than just hitting the bottom of the heel to step on them.

But then don't you step on them?

Heel of the foot, not of the shoe, I think -- so, top of the heel of the shoe, and not, say, somewhere anklewards.

I can't help you with the irrationality proof, although I'm sure that someone somewhere in the back of my brain has seen such before.

I am thinking of getting the smashbox thing, but I can't decide on the color. I have dark brown hair and fair (if a bit yellow) skin. My hair is dyed auburn or red.

I can't decide between Auburn or Brunette

HIVEMIND ALERT!

We have an "admin" section of our company's little newsletter and since my boss left, my headquarters counterpart and I are in charge of it. It's where we announce stuff like new hires, benefits info, etc. Can anyone think of cool names for it? I was hoping for a song title or something slightly snarky and fun. Right now "Paperwork Rules" is the lead contender.

Damn. It's been ages since I've seen a proof like that. IIRC, you start by assuming that the square root of 8 is rational, and then eventually you show that this leads to a contradiction.

It'd be fun to see if I could remember / come up with the proof myself, but I'm a bit busy at the moment.

eta: Assume the square root is rational. So you can express the root as a fraction a/b. a/b can be reduced to lowest terms, so assume that it is.

Then a miracle occurs. I forget what you do next....

Finally, you can show that a/b is not in lowest terms, thus the contradiction completes the proof.

Sophia, pick what goes with your brow color, not your hair color. In my case, my brows match my natural hair color, which is a light brown. So taupe works perfectly.

Thanks Kristen!
