Mooooooooom I think they're talking math again.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Practical value? Did you miss the part where I said History of Math? Practical, shyeah! I do homework on things that were proved impossible 500 years ago!
BWAH! This one is getting passed on to DH.

I shouldn't mention how often I like to consider different approaches for trisecting the angle, huh?

No, no! Not really! This is history, see? The people who wrote this stuff? All dead!

You're a rebel, and you'll never ever be any good.

So remember how the whole breaking-stuff-that-used-to-work in my apartment started with my computer freezing up? It just happened again. The computer freezing. It wouldn't even turn itself off by the button, I had to manually unplug it from the electricity.
I'm afraid to go home to see what else was broken through that, just for completion sake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My Apple Cube is set up in my bedroom now. It spends most of its time sleeping. But sometimes it will just wake up in the middle of the night for no reason, flooding the room with light. Once it woke up at 3:00 a.m. and started playing the Lord of the Rings DVD that was in it....

I hope it's not any sort of omen or anything, Nilly.
The Saints are losing in Tiger Stadium. Woe.
I am not trying to do anything impossible right now. It's not like I never-ever do what I should.

tommy, are you saying that your Apple and my computer are somehow responsible for the balance of the universe? Because that would give a lot more meaning to the truth in "everything is my fault".

YYyyyes! I rock! I found a polynomial of degree >0 in Z4 that has an inverse!
Okay, it's really not that exciting. I just needed to apply FOIL backwards. But I didn't think I could do it, because... I already lost everyone except t, tommyrot, and Nilly, didn't I? Anyway, polynomial which multiplied by another polynomial equals 1.

I think that's the only possible explanation....
