There are a lot of asshole mathematicians out there. That is true. I think its to make up for being 40-year old virgins and no social life. Or something like.

Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

I bet he wanted to teach you all about his natural log, then.

Oh god. Then again this was a rumor I heard, not something I personally knew. A student actually asked him in class one time when asked if there were any questions about a conjecture. He left his job at my high school when the rumors got bad.
But he really loved the number 7!Last edited by doppelgaenger; 11-01-09 at 04:52 PM.

I just read "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. It was better than I expected. I sat in the bookstore reading it and crying.

He wrote a book about it? Sheesh. I didn't know that. I'll have to pick it up. I assume you've actually seen the last lecture, haven't you?

No, not a movie. Literally his last lecture. It's a real tear-jerker, too. Especially the end.

I didn't cry at all watching it. I thought the book was a lot more moving.

Tucker Max
The actual title of the book is I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.
It is an auto-biography of a guy (Tucker Max) who lives his life as if there were no consequences for his actions. He is a self-proclaimed a**hole, it is almost to the point that he celebrates it. The book is set up more like a personal journal. The stories are almost outlandish. It may be the only book I have read non-stop cover to cover.Frasbee caught me advertising in my signature, and this is my slap on the wrist. If I advertise anymore I know I will be banned.

Sounds like a guy I'd get along with. Hmm. Goddamn you people. My reading list is growing by the minute. Where am I going to put all these books?

I would get a small bookshelf, but that's just me.

I have two plus a box filled with unshelved books. I need a third and a fourth.

I have one bookcase, it's built into a wall in my room. Sadly there are very few books on it. A book really has to catch my eye for me to want to read it.
