I think I've found the primitive 8th roots of unity
Didn't they find that in The Fifth Element or something?
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're thinking of Serenity.

Of course. You can't find the primitive 8th roots of unity without love, right?

You can't stop the primitive 8th roots of unity.

I've fallen so hard for Kitchen Confidential. They'd really better not cancel it.

And Arrested Development had a line this week that totally made up for last week's off-ness.

Well, first just the 8th roots of unity -- I think I can handle finding the primitive ones. Basically, I need someone to verify for me that (-1/sqrt(2)-i/sqrt(2))^8 equals 1. Then I'll be all happy. Well, all happy except for the final question, which requires reading and actually understanding the bit about finite subgroups and inifinite groups.

What would you people do for humor without me? Where would you get your mathematical straight lines?

Oh, that too. But I was thinking of Hey, that's the name of the show!
