Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I got my first real lesson on non-Euclidean geometry today.

Dude. Freaky, man. So, like, parallel lines can meet if that's the most convenient system for us? Whoa.

Yes, that is totally related to the seeing-the-same-color question. You all see it, right?

...right?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So is this pretty to everyone?

Because I like it.

Also, I'd like a lipstick in this shade.

Actually, yeah. Oh, and I was watching something on rational numbers and Eygptian math. I want to send you a copy so you can explain it to me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aw... random Cass. So cute.

As it happens, it is exactly related becasue they do this color stuff using a geometric representation of color perception in a Euclidean or NonEuclidean multidimensional scaling solution. That's how they solved the problem. But then I fell asleep.

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

Are you sure you didn't fall asleep first, and dream the whole thing?

Are you sure you are reading the board and not just dreaming the whole thing.

Freaky. I thought I was just making a metaphorical connection about subjective perception.

But then I fell asleep.

I can see that that might be a problem.

Okay, folks, quick poll time! Should I do my next paper on Alan Turing, Charles Babbage, or, um, other Great Figure of the last three centuries?

I'm pretty sure I only exist as a character in someone else's dream.

Also, 'elses' is a weird word.

eta: also, "else's"

Babbage is the guy with the Difference Engine, right? That sounds cool.
