I'd like to let everyone note at this point that even though the article maybe just meant for a joke, the formulas given aren't incorrect. For example, (a serious version) A166079

Regarding the comics "A friend in need is a friend indeed" in https://driven2services.com/staging/mh/index.php?posts/37357/: Russian people would also bend the thumb to indicate number four. But Russians fold fingers rather than extend them while counting (wiki). Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I would hold the hand with the palm facing me, not the board. I'll ask my friends how they would do it.

When manually enumerating, I place my palm facing me, and extend fingers, beginning with the index, then middle, ring, pinky and finally thumb. I notice some here who begin with the thumb though. I think to myself that they are strange, but do not chastise them for being "wrong." :D

Meh!? :eek:

The toes are lower down, so you starts with them, non? Toes for units, fingers for tens, and something else for hundreds...

When I am in the mood to try and impress my friends/family, I treat each finger as a binary digit where extended is 1, and count from 0 to 1023 on ten fingers. There is always much ooing and ahhing and raucous applause! (Bow)

Well, it makes more sense than 2/3rds of a pie radians.

Well, the books are at room temperature, and the brain is at body temperature, so the second law of thermodynamics dictates that the books suck the life out of your brain.

Also, the skull is not a permeable membrane...this is so we don't look like pufferfish, and thus are not hunted by sushi chefs, thereby increasing the chance that our species' DNA will continue to propagate.

The admin team has decided that we will switch to a once a year awards structure instead of the previous twice a year structure.
Then why on Earth have I been cranking out jokes lately?

Anyway, here is a reflection on friendzone and reflexivity.

Girl: You are so caring, smart and funny. I wish I could find a guy just like you.
Guy (thinking): Are you kidding me? I am a guy just like me.

It's all part of my plan, Evgeny. I wanted you to use all of your good jokes so I can spend the second half of this year with my own and take the title from you in December. What's the point of owning a website if you can't use it to give yourself awards and adoration? ;)
