Man, I suppose I need to start watching Numbers...what, was Richard Schiff busy?(Love him. Whitford, too) Because I love Brainy Jewish Guys. A lot.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've tried watching Numb3rs. I got a little too eyerolly at the magical mystical mathematics, though. I really wanted to like that show.

Delurking in Bitches to say Yay! for Teppy's dad-o'-steel.
Oh, and to say y'all are strange with your rounding ways of subtracting--it would never have occurred to me to do it that way! I just figure "52-37: Take the one from the 5, 12-7=5, 4 (from taking the 1 from the 5)-3=1, so 15." For multiplying, I can only do 2-digits times 2-digits; any more, and I need a piece of paper. "36 x 24: 4 times 6 is 24, put down the 4 and carry the 2, 3 times 4 is 12 plus the 2 = 144; 2 times 36 is 72, add a 0 at the end since it's the 2nd digit over = 720 plus 144 = 864."

I have always added and subtracted using my fingers. I learned in 6th grade that this was a bad thing, so now I can do it without actually moving my fingers.

It really would have never occured to me to do arithmetic in my head by using the pencil and paper algorithm. That's really interesting.

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
