I know, it's bad physics. But what I really don't get about Wile E. is: Considering what he all survives, why can he expect it would kill the roadrunner?

Just as bad as my idea of entangling data bases that are remote to each other for automatic back up and updates.

@fresh_42 : I hope you don't mind I referred your insight to a company that wants to _differentiate_ their products.

In the year 2525 is a unique song I think and "the eighth day" 1980 is similar. I watched the video and Hazal O'Connor looks freaky.
Fluorescent stripes to begin with in a mixed blue and UV and when she goes full machine all the visible light is dialed down. Very effective. I probably thought is was a production trick when I was a teenager.

Sure, whatever this means. I linked some of them on MSE hoping to get more members. However, I fear those links have been lost in the sheer number of posts there.

Temper expectations with compulsion. El Coyote, compelled by canine instincts to hunt and kill, never expects to actually catch, much less destroy, Roadrunner. Thrill of the chase rather than expectation of reward fuels Wile E.

At least one time Wile E catches Roadrunner, holding the feathery carcass in his slavering jaws to no avail. RR's wit, quickness and reason prevail over Wile E's stupid yet clever carnal instincts in an unending sequence of confrontations.

Maybe you made the mistake I made and posted to the Sex Change site.

You should write for pay. Or at least for ( I.M) Pei.

Interesting, albeit not too deep of a result:
Every number$k>3$ that is $1$ less than a perfect square, is composite. And the factoring is easily given:

$n^2-1=(n+1)(n-1)$. So the factors are $\{n-1, n+1\}$.

Edit: So that we have, e.g., $899=30^2-1=(30-1)(30+1)=(29)(31) ; 1763=1764-1= (42-1)(42+1)=(41)*43)$.

That was from the HR manager who reads all CVs except those he does not read. He must have misunderstood Russell somehow.

Do the CVs read themselves? If they read themselves.... Cc ; Bert (Russell) and Kurt (Godel)

Another one: Are you interested in working with the Fauquier School? No, I applied once to the Fuqua school, mispronounced the name and that put an end to the interview.

It's Bert (Russell, CVs that read themselves) and Ernie (Rutherford, CVs that turn from 'read' into 'unread' by contact with $\mathrm{He}^{+2}$). The RuRu-transformation.

After my extremely generous donation of $5 to Wikipedia, I've given myself the right to spew a sarcastic " You're Welcome" when I see someone reading from it in a public place.

I just commented on a FB feed and didn't recognize I was supposed to do it in German. Not the first time I confused the languages.

At a German/Spanish wedding where a lot of guests spoke one or other and English but few spoke all three, one of the ones who did speak all three asked if I wanted a bit more meat with the words "quieres some fleisch?", an even mix of the three.

We were expecting Peter Shor, the one from the Quantum algorithm to visit our school. I just wanted to ask him: "Are you the one that came up with the Quantum algorithm?" Then he
d say yes. "Are you Shor"?

I had a vivid dream where I was offered a procedure where my mind was uploaded into an android. like the 'skin jobs' in Blade Runner. I would be able to feel emotion like a human. I would wake up in this android and live forever. I could travel space and see the cosmos. The drawback was that the procedure would destroy my biological body and riddle it with terminal brain cancer. The biological body would not wake and I would awake in the android from where I left off seconds ago.

There was two cubicles. One was for me and the other was for my new body. The vessel that I laid in looked coffin shaped and I was in complete darkness. They gave me a strong sedative via an intravenous drip and I went to sleep.

I woke up, but felt intense pain in my head. It felt like I was on fire. I started freaking out and the lid of the vessel opened. I looked around and saw my android emerge from it's vessel and look at me. It was me, looking at the the old body.

The transfer was a success and a copy of me was in the android where I left off, but I also awoke in the cancer ridden body.

I think the ultimate meta character in show biz is Jennifer Grey (who rose to superstardom in Ferris Dueller’s Day Off and Dirty Dancing but then got herself a nose-job and immediately sank into obscurity and couldn’t get another major gig), who plays an actor in a sitcom called “It’s Like, you Know…” named Jennifer Grey, who had risen to stardom with a couple of smash hits but then got a nose-job and immediately sank into obscurity and can’t get another major gig.

Arthur Garment: You know, you look different somehow.
Jennifer Grey: Well, you see a movie ten years ago...
Arthur Garment: I saw it just recently.
Jennifer Grey: ...on a small TV screen...
Arthur Garment: This was a revival. Huge movie screen.
Jennifer Grey: ...sitting so far back...
Arthur Garment: Front row. Right up close.
Jennifer Grey: NOSE JOB!

Isn't congressman Chuck Hagel's name somewhat odd? Anyone called Kevin Schopenhauer or Keith Nietschze?*

* Yes, I know , Hegel vs Hagel.
