I'm sure I could have found it sooner, but a way to get to many people who think in the realm of physics other than youtube is a nice change.
I'll be glad to have discussions about mathematics in other sections of these forums.

This just goes to show that one shouldn't answer a question without first asking why the asker wants to know.

You should have answered "goldfish".

Okay, hold on a min!

Psst, Evo, we need a lifter or something, unless you know one of the sisters who can do it?!
