I am ever so thankful that both my boys enjoy doing math.  I am also ever so thankful that they are good at it so I dont have to help them with their homework.

If you want to have grandchildren you should try get them different interests.
Fuck you.

Pretty rich, given you're still working on the "getting children" part  :lol:

As an aside, I happen to know at least one girl whose primary requirement for "the father of her children" is that he's smart, and she defines smart as "good at math".  Admittedly, she's a bit quirky.

Basic maths is so straightforward, the application of a few simple rules.............it is baffling why people seem to find it so difficult.

I for one am insane so my mind doesn't work logically.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think it would be better if I didn't have children.  At least that's what people tell me.

You guys crack me up with your "there's only one way to speak English" nonsense. So it's maths in Britain, and math in the US (and Canada for that matter) ... is it not understandable that it's the same thing? :bleeding:

I personally love that there are so many different ways to say the same thing in English, it's the joy of having an imprecise language that absorbs all language systems it comes in contact with. Resistance is futile.
What he said.  As Richard Feynman noted, the purpose of language is communication.  Those who try to make it a political statement are doomed to frustration.
It's not political, it just grates on the ears, nay, grates on the soul to hear such a horrific concoction.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yes.  Much like the pain of reading someone who types lazily, without checking for spelling or grammar mistakes.

Speaking of avatars, is yours the Rock Em Sock Em Robots?  I know it's been years but I've never been sure.
