They may be going to install surveillance equipment, LeN, but I wouldn't turn them down until I found out what class of rental you'll get.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
sigh.
T-Day was good. Today we rented a cargo van, went to IKEA and braved the crazy crowds to get a new entertainment center and a mirror. 5 hours total and now we are awaiting food to be delivered. I am HUNGERED!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That was brave of you, msbelle! yay for new furniture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They would take my car for 1-2 weeks and give me an Enterprise rental car for unlimited mileage.
Maybe they wanna test a car that's been living in the real world for a while.

November 25,2005 | LONDON -- The image that allegedly showed Kate Moss preparing a line of cocaine, once seen only as a grainy tabloid photo, is now on show as a painting at a London exhibit.
British artist Stella Vine, who created this and other paintings of Moss, said Friday she usually bases her work on press photos.
Hopefully they'll release a poster of this, so all of us can appreciate the art....

IKEA!
Wish I could have gone there. I may have to go to Target tonight, just to compensate.

From a popular curriculum package used by many fundemantalist Christian homeschoolers:
Mathematics is the language God used in His creation of the universe, and thus it is logical, orderly, beautiful, and very practical in science and in daily life.
No subject matter better reflects the glory of God than mathematics. To study mathematics is to study God's thoughts after Him, for He is the great Engineer and Architect of the universe.
Unlike the "modern math" theorists, who believe that mathematics is a creation of man and thus arbitrary and relative, we believe that the laws of mathematics are a creation of God and thus absolute. All of the laws of mathematics are God's laws. Our knowledge of God's absolute mathematical laws may be incomplete or at times in error, but that merely shows human frailty, not relativity in mathematics. Man's task is to search out and make use of the laws of the universe, both scientific and mathematical.
A Beka Book provides attractive, legible, workable traditional mathematics texts that are not burdened with modern theories such as set theory. These books have been field-tested, revised, and used successfully for many years in Christian schools. They are classics with up-to-date appeal. Besides training students in the basic skills that they will need all their lives, the A Beka Book traditional mathematics books teach students to believe in the absolutes of the universe, to work diligently to get right answers, and to see the facts of mathematics as part of the truth and order that God has built into the real universe.
So, set theory is evil. OK.

So what do they think about non-Euclidean geometry?

There's no reference to Euclidean or non-Euclidian geometry in the linked article. But considering how they hate anything to do with relativsm, I'd say that they would hate non-Euclidian geometry.
I think this applies:
Another example of where A Beka's likely objections to set theory lie is in a particular part of advanced set theory known as the Axiom of Choice. What the Axiom of Choice is, in a sense, is it is an explicit acknowledgement that the particular system you use to work with a set is one's choice, and you're essentially choosing specific members of that set to work with.
