Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not sure if it's a translation issue or what. Parts i and iii both ask about finding the angle between two lines that, as far as I can tell, don't intersect.

That's my reading too. Maybe they missed a subscript in the first question? Though I think they still wouldn't intersect.

What does "foot of perpendicular" mean?

It's a common substitute for eye of newt, when the latter is unavailable.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aww. The poster mocks their pain! It's like an ad for Animal Planet I once saw: "Starfish have no brains. And they don't even know it."

i. Might mean the planes ABD and AA1D

ii. it's a right angle if what I think about prisms is true and my trig is right

I don't know what they're getting at with iii. There must be some convention that defines the planes these lines are in, but since AD is an edge of the prism I can't imagine what it would be.

Skipping to post that according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 26, 2005 9:57:12 pm PDT Isaac is two years old today. I can't believe how quickly he did that, too.

Happy birthday, Isaac! Happy day for your mom and your big sister and all your family, as well!
