It has to be a man-made excavation. With corners. Essentially, it's something the volume of which one could figure out with high school geometry.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Wolfram cheated with the thesaurus.
Hey! It's not cheating if you cite - it's RESEARCH.

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

Perhaps some content would help. Brahmagupta's 7th-century astronomical work contains a chapter on arithmetic, one section of which concerns what he calls "excavation" -- he gives rules as to how to find, essentially, the volume of these... excavations. And I want to say, "the section on excavations, which essentially concerns the three-dimensional geometry of... holes in the ground" only without the "holes in the ground" part.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If I put a bottle of Liqueuer in the freezer and then take it out for an extended period (about 28 hours), so it gets back up to room temperature, is that a bad thing?

You're not drinking it quickly enough, apparently. Otherwise, no.

I like big holes in the ground. It's funny.
