WOW! I had read the story, but never seen a picture of the little boy - that is just ridiculous!

Three summers ago I spent all my free time playing chess and reading chess books - it was pretty awesome :smile: and I got to be a decent player, but I haven't played since then. I used to play at www.redhotpawn.com

Awesome thread haha - I'll admit it, there have been a few times that I've shed a tear due to the beauty of math.

Thanks for all the suggestions! It has been very dry and cold here in Denver, though we finally got some snow today. I will check out the anti static spray (the anti-static Jackets are cool, but I don't think I could pull off the look). The ideas about touching metal objects sound good and I...

First of all, I know nothing about physics, so if I use the wrong term, or something don't get me too hard of a time :smile: But this problem has been really bugging me these past few weeks. For some reason, my jacket seems to give me a huge amount of static electricity. Almost every time I...

I think you have a pretty decent shot at getting a job with a B.S. in Math with a Statistics concentration. I just graduated in May with a Math degree and Stats minor and started my career (actuary) in July, and I know plenty of math majors that found jobs pretty quickly: a friend of mine works...

I have a Wiiiiiiii Used to own a PS2 - sold it. Also had a PS1 and SNES back in the day. My sister had an N64 which was fun stuff. Retro games can be a ton of fun. A few months ago I was craving some old school Nintendo games - and was strongly considering buying an SNES or N64, but I got...

That is a good point actually - I have heard some similar things about watches on amazon. As do you :smile:

hahaha... ahh I love tribdog.

I have heard good things about John Allan's Ocean Shampoo. Just got myself a bottle - it seems nice, not sure if it's anything special. However, I should note that I have a buzz cut, so my opinion on shampoo probably isn't worth much :smile: I use Dove soap - bars, and recently started trying...

YES! I bought myself the same watch a month ago - LOVE IT! $120 though, no no no, go to amazon: got mine for $75 :smile: My favorite part about the watch is that it makes absolutely no noise.

I thought that Tina Fey really was Palin from the screen captures - wasn't until I watched the video that I noticed it was her.

I went to the joint AMS/MAA math meeting this past January in San Diego - it was a blast! It is the only meeting I have ever gone to, but it was a great experience. Also, it was all paid for too (including a trip to the San Diego zoo :biggrin:). My favorite talk was from a guy named Robert...

When I was at Target a few weeks ago, I considered trying that stuff out, but ended up going with the classic Listerine - I'm glad I did :smile: edit... wow, the bad part is that the article was published in early March 2008, and it seems like nothing has gone on since then...

Some of their articles are decent, and some of them aren't. In general, there are usually better sources.
