Oh, my "timelies" (even if not typed out loud) would be even more timelied, then.

Timelies, everyone.
All the stressy Thanksgiving stuff is over now. Going to go see Company on Broadway tonight, then back to DC tomorrow. And, I've got a huge backlog of emails from my students to answer today -- starting to make a dent in that.

Hil, where's your tagline from?
Were Pascal and Fibonacci friends?

Nilly, it's a question that one of my 11-year-old students asked in class this summer. I thought it was adorable. (The discussion quickly became a debate about whether Pascal or Fibonacci was cooler, with most of the class saying that a triangle is cooler than a sequence, but one boy insisting that Fibonacci was cooler because anyone Italian is automatically cooler than anyone French.)

Hil, that's absolutely adorable! The whole discussion, not just the original question.
All of you who had stressful holidays, I'm sorry. Is it any consolation that the nearest holiday is almost a month away?

I would love to see a professional production of this. We did this in high school when I was in 10th grade. Our PA department was pretty good compared to other high school productions I have seen since - but still. It was the first show I worked as part of the crew.

This sounds like someone who needs to be shown footage of Catherine Deneuve and Roberto Benigni.

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

Now I'm wondering what The Hunger would have been like with Benigni in Bowie's role....

$3,700 (Australian) pizza: [link]
The 30.5-cm pizza features an organic base spread with a sunblush tomato sauce. Other toppings include Scottish smoked salmon and medallions of venison.
The creation is finished off with edible 24-carat gold shavings.
The money will go to charity.
Now I'm wondering - if you consume gold shavings (like, say, Goldschlager), will your poop be all golden sparkley?

BOISE, Idaho - Two employees of the city's ice skating rink have been fired for making a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis. An anonymous tipster reported seeing the two big ice-resurfacing machines chug through a Burger King drive-through and return to the rink around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 10. The squat, rubber-tired vehicles, which have a top speed of about 5 mph, drove 1 1/2 miles in all.
The Zamboni operators, both temporary city employees whose names and ages were not released by the Parks and Recreation Department, had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World.
"They were fired immediately," said Parks Department Director Jim Hall. "We're pretty sure it was just the one time. When we interviewed them, they didn't seem to be too concerned about it. I don't think they understood the seriousness of it."
