Is That You In Your Avatar? Part 3! — Page 69

taz, it's 8000. Everyone knows that.

Good Lord - Moms and Math. The two biggest banes of my existence. All in one thread.

Yeah... we need to think of a new issue to discuss.

Or at least something else besides moms and math.

Hm.

Yeah, I got nothing.

:-P


I swear I just sounded like my critical writing teacher there.

He'd go "Yeah... so... you guys... have you guys...seen that episode of Seinfeld...where Jerry and Elaine go the hospital...to see their friend's baby...but the baby's really ugly? .... Yeah... that's a good one...."

It's when a show makes back it's investment. Which requires math to figure out. Since that's to complex, we just like to choose a random # of perfs as a barometer. Like Rath said, 8000.

---

And exactly how many shows have reached 8,000?

Don't answer that question, I looked at the longest running show list yesterday.

Pity, ABS. I have a feeling I'll be that way with my dad soon enough. My mom's ok though.

I think I had a 2.85 GPA in high school.

I haven't talked to my mom since, like 7:30 this morning.


And I hated it when they made me measure stuff in the set shop at the theatre I worked at over the summer. They'd be like "Here, measure these pieces of wood so they're 15 feet and 1/3 inches long" or something like that and I'd always mess it up and someone else would have to re-measure. Which begged the question: why do you let me measure something when you know damn well I'm incapable of not getting it right?

Alas, I luckily was taken in by the costume department.

[/end of pointless story]


... Anyways, I got to head on out.


take care, leiblings!

I have no problem measuring. (Rath, don't go there) And as I indicated before, I'm a whiz at figuring out percentages when there's a sale. But as for the rest of it, fuggedaboutit.

I made that? Just by making up numbers? Thanks, chicolini! Now tell me the purpose of learning about imaginary numbers, and my day will be full.

My mom always starts our phone conversations when she calls with "Are you home?" No, mom, my robot doppelganger is taking all my calls today!

I do!

And I know how to play bridge. I'm an old soul.

I've been gone for a couple of days...I hope everyone is well.

P.S. Spring Break homework is the devil.

---

There are some applications for imaginary numbers in the strength of electromagnetic fields, but it's really just to weed out the numbers in math class. Those teachers don't like crowds.

My mom is crazy too, though, so it's not like I'm some mamma-loving math nut.

---

Ah yes, a tribute to our avatarian mothers!

---

The cat lady! Whose real name is Eleanor Abernathy. I mention my knowledge of that fact only to further frighten Rath. The bid's two diamonds to you, dear!

And chicolini, I always say there's quite enough numbers in this world that we don't need to go about inventing new ones! Although I'm kind of glad zero was invented. I read a really cool book about the concept of zero and its history a few years ago. They included an equation in which you could, by dividing by zero, prove that Winston Churchill was a carrot.

She could be Agnes Skinner's sister.

She just might be.

I wonder who I should ask?
