*laughs at Luke *

*hugs his math*
Thinking up cultures based off of non-Eucledian geometry is awesome.

That sounds like one of those "only on HW" moments.

*grins*

Hugging your math?!?!

Hugging math?

ALL HEADS WILL ROLL!!!!

*cough*

While I'm somewhat curious as to how one goes about hugging an immaterial ... thing ... like "math", I'd like to rise in its defense with the words of Robert A. Heinlein's character Kip, the protagonist of Have Space Suit---Will Travel: "Math is worse than peanuts."

Bahahahaha!!! Keep that up and you'll make me homesick for Cleveland.

*eyebrow raises at the shockedness* Math has several, wonderful uses, my favorite of which would probably be thinking up Sci-Fi cultures.

Math has always (well, maybe not always, but,) struck me with awe, to think of what can be done with it and how...just how complex it is, and yet there's no mistake in it, we just sometimes mess up when we try to use it...I think it's one extremely strong evidence for God...I think it's awesome that you hug math Ira Mordecai...whenever I tried to do that it would always respond with a roundhouse headache.

Math can be very cantankerous indeed (for example: I've never been able to master learning how to discover the episolon and delta in calculus 'tis a hundred percent succesful in spawning headaches inside the cranium), but at other times math can be very accomadating (algebra, for example ).

Wow, to the first part, I have no idea what you just said, but I think I can tell it's hard...

To the second part...yes, I think I would much prefer algebra, that was something I could sort of grasp-but to tell the truth I haven't really done that either...long story, but in short I'm a complete failure at math, and I'm not proud of it. But I'm glad that you like it.

Well, Mark, your answer was certainly different from mine.

Algebra... Don't remind me.. Calculus? I hope I never make its acquaintance...

Well, to each his own I guess.

Yes, I suppose so. ...Wait a minute, what do I get to be good at!? I got left out! Just kidding...

Good thing, I know from experience that there are certain people on the forum that don't like it when that kind of thing is said.

I hate algebra. I would love to create a character in my books called Algebra, and then have him murdered.

I hate maths; I'm ok at what I call 'normal maths', but then get onto algebra and all that, and I'm no good at all.

*is trying to decide if that was a reference to herself or not... *

Yeah, well, I was just kidding, but I really am still trying to figure out what to do other than writing (and I still have to work on writing a lot before I'll be at career level there too). But I know I didn't get "left out". To quote Foghorn Leghorn: "That's a joke, son; gag, that is!"

I'm guessing you were one of the "certain people".

You guess right, Jonathan.

I thought so.

Since there aren't enough on this thread I'm going to add another one or two:

You added six, not one or two.

*chuckles*

Yeah, well, math was never my strong point.

Yes, that 'certain' had an Airi flavor to it, I think.

*Chuckles*

Ya'll are funny.

And I'm guessing that 'certain people' meant Airi, and Za, and maybe Philli.

...and my Twinnie and Zoe.

*grins innocently*

*polishes Twinnie's halo*

I know, just look at it shine.

Shiny! *is mesmerized*

I forgot about that...

Just keep the packrats from stealing it!

*brandishes sword* No packrats will be stealing my twinnie's halo.

Those packrats better watch it...

Yeah...Sui's dangerous when he's got pointy things..and I should know.

*laughs* It looks like my pointy side has a reputation.

Well, just so you know, I'm not a pack rat!

I kinda a---*Closes mouth*

CONGRATS ON 5,000
*Makes lightning strike between Jonathan's feet revealing True Magical Chocolate Pudding*
Jonathan, you are the second person in the world to receive TMCP. Be honoured.

Good job!

Thank you, Danko.

I am honored.

*Stares longingly at the chocolate pudding*

*Sees Elanor staring at pudding Danko throws a knife with a sting on the back holding magical chocolate pudding*

Duly noted.

*is now curious*

*Wisely flees*

*chuckles*

You have a pointy side? *decides to watch it next time she glomps Twinnie*
