I still plan to write some more frequent substantive entries here (while perhaps managing to make then a mite shorter and less aimlessly meandering).

In the meantime, here is a classic meme that turned out too well not to share:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Nearest book on my shelf here 'Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics.'

"I have traversed this bottomless night, which extinguished all light and joy in my life...I entreat you, leave the science of parallels alone."


A rather poetic quote from Wolfgang Bolyai to his son Johann which is a warning, from father to son and from one mathematician to another, that more or less means "Beware the parallel postulate, my son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" :-T
