Math

[rayheinrich]

Rowens, math is bad magic.  You shouldn't let it's evil keep you awake.  I have a math allergy that makes numbers sound like static.  . People like us should keep a safe distance from numbers related computing type situations.  

But crundle, why are you only reading two poems a day?  If you are really so determined to read all of them, I recommend a much higher rate of consumption.  How many poems per day can a person read without going a bit mad?

It's like what Meat Loaf sang, Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost. Or Neil Young: Red means run, son. Numbers add up to nothing.

People who proclaim they are bad at "math" are like Christians who say they don't believe in "evolution":
Neither one has any idea what they are referring to and hence no clue as to their actual capabilities. In reality they are
bragging, taking glee in demeaning an activity that requires thinking, and claiming inability just to get out of doing
something they think might require effort. (Not that I don't employ this age-old technique -- just not in this area.)

Median number of wheels = 8.

It all depends on the type of poem, the initial mental state of the reader, and what all of us ate for breakfast (gestalt kind of thing?).

Don't mistake crumble for his/her/its hypothetically absurd protagonist; in actuality her/his/its read-rate approaches 12
(from the underside?).
