Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

Then Évariste Galois, Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi or William Kingdon Clifford won't supply any comfort either.

It would appear, that being a genius in maths, is bad for your health.
Slava bogu my 7th grade teacher told me I had cheated on the exam.

I've a backhoe
to dig through these mathematical ditches

Why are you telling me to use a shovel
like everyone else

eff you
maths
and the camel you rode in on

My clothes were bought during my college days (10-15 years ago), I have kept them until now. I know not so many people would do that. some were bought 2-3 years ago. I don't go out around much so I rarely put them on.

My clothes are cheap cosplay-like looking. A nurse told me my hair was beautiful and that I looked like a model. I was like: "If she only knew, cheap clothes are doing their job." Lesson of the story: Looks can be deceiving. Not that I intend to deceive, but I'm poor and cheap cosplay-looking clothes is all I can afford. Which in turn makes me wonder: Why are Americans so big? Their shirt Small size is too big for me. And they call it small. EDIT: I don't get it.

That way can help us start things all over again in a completely different way.

A new Random Thoughts? Still lost. But I'll still perform the dance of 'starting all over again'.

Dance of joy: Starting all over again

@A.Gene, so many members here.

I have my dad's jacket, that he wore when he was 16, in my closet.
It is 72 years old.

I tried it on one day, and the zipper broke.

I'm reading a book by Stephen King called Mr. Mercedes. I've gotten about 250 pages into it and not one supernatural thing has happened. It seems to be a straightforward murder mystery, and damned if it isn't one of the best things he's ever written. He should just drop the horror and write like this from now on.

I'm reading a book, written about 100 years ago. (1931)
I think it might be called a "biographical" book, as the author interviewed a somewhat old woman (74), and transcribed her words, via an interpreter.

This book is not as good as "The Martian", as the language in this book is somewhat old.
But it is not nearly as bad as the book "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", which I finished 3 days ago, as it is full of terms and phrases which only a 1st term biology student can comprehend.

Maybe you should look at the size of the small portions of food in the fast food places in the U.S for an answer. Small portions today are around twice as large as they were some 30 years ago. Tho I don't know if this is a cause, an effect or maybe a bit of each.

I thought the Green Manalishi was a vegetarian plate but it seems like it is a song by Judas Priest.

Well, how about " Only the good die young "?

About a hundred years ago, I read a book called, "The Most Beautiful Endless Forms of the Martian," authored by a 74 year old, somewhat womanish, Martian-English interpreter, transcribed via transcription. This book was not as good as "Mr. Mercedes."

Now I need to buy a new fan.

Isn't that a billy_joule tune?

You mean Billy Joel? But I think the saying precedes the song.

 

[1oldman2]

Since this is a random sort of thread I'll ask if there are any fans of Stephen Goulds writing in the house?

 

[1oldman2]

True, it was kind of a nod to Billy_Joules clever use of a user name

Ah, I was not on the ball to catch it. I as being a square.

I guess it is not so hip to be square. And there is nothing hip about a fracture (I keep hearing about hip fractures). Imagine people getting fractures just to look hip.

Being 57 years old I knock wood every time some mentions hip fractures

[WWGD]

Sort of. But none has had hip problems. Maybe @1oldman2 should listen to it more often?

It's more like " lurkin' for a livin' "

That's what she (and, sadly, the judge) said (all-purpose reply).

West coast problem?

Broken fan problem.

Yet another different way of pronouncing Renaissance. Five last count.

I have heard the expression " foisting his own petard" in different ways. Pretty confusing. Maybe a disgusting sexual meaning and another one about showing off.

I was always under the impression it was "hoisted by his own petard" have I been wrong all along?

 

[WWGD]

Not sure. Maybe I am the one who's wrong --serves me right for foisting/(being hoisted) by my own petard. Though I still have no idea what the expression means EDIT: It seems you're right @1oldman2 , a search for my expression did not get any hits.

Either way considering the "petard" it's funny

No kidding, that can of beans I just had me hoisting plenty of petards. They won't let me eat at the diner any more.
