If The Simpsons had been around when I was in high school, my math teacher Mr. Nelson might have given us problems like this.

Where are the answers?

The first equation doesn't mean much to me. The second I might be able to solve with a calculator, but I'm not gonna sit here and multiply out those numbers....

I doubt even the second equation could be verified easily with a standard calculator. To the twelfth power, those are numbers with 50 or so digits.

True, but some calculators do scientific notation. You could at least verify that it was approximately correct or not. You could also possibly factor out some numbers to reduce it.

The first one looks sort of like quantum gravity and the third one like cosmology. No idea what M(H0) means -- the other side of that equation is pi times (roughly the square of the electron charge in Planck units) to the eighth power times the Planck mass. So, um, beats me...

I love the waning donut on the blackboard

I have a sticky note on my desk that says "email Bill about Monday," and I swear I am going to do it tomorrow.

Mmmmmm, waning donut...

I'd give you the message here BUT I AM VERY SECRETIVE ON LJ. Is it convenient to meet us at our office?

Your answer to that question will effect, in real time, my official email tomorrow morning.

Can it be you have never had the pleasure of Achewood?!??!?

Simplicity itself. At your office it is.

Even now I am employing needle and thread to stitch my sides back together!
