Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The imaginary part (the -4, i.e. the coefficient of i) appears on the y axis, so you're lower rather than upper.

Of course! Of course you are! What the fuck is wrong with me? No, I'm serious. For some reason I was putting it upper left, which is entirely the freaking opposite of what I want!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And what did you think constitutes my target audience?

hottie actuaries?

It's true, my sex organ weighs 8 pounds and you can't fit your hand around it.

Yes, but it's all floppy and wiggly and where's the fun in that?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No, no, the axes are... not quite arbitrary, but it feels that way when learning which way around they go. It's easy to transpose them.

It was a number slut.

I, alas, am all too chaste as of late.

You've already confessed you're powerless before the complexities of numbers. I was going to say their ins and outs, but I wouldn't want to be misconstrued. Nope. Not me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"Four years after the frightening experience of Sept. 11, Americans have every right to expect a more effective response in a time of emergency," the president said. When the government fails to meet such an obligation, Bush said, "I as president am responsible for the problem, and for the solution."

Translation: "Shit! Backpedal, backpedal!"
