What worries me is that this is the only thing from him that's made me chuckle in a very long time.

I'm inclined to re-read his essay on Anne Rice's porn novels (hehe, "nom de filthybook") and claim the above isn't true, but I know it doesn't count.

Yay! Found a website to keep me busy for a while: http://www.guntalk.tv/site.php

Not much new stuff, but it's always good to review the basics. Plus, Tom's a nice guy!

Man, Yahtzee has really become something of a big name now hasn't he? He stuff still makes me smile overall. Aoife and I always watch the latest Zero Punctuation together.

If a proof of the riemann hypothesis can be verified quickly, can the complete set of proofs be computed in polynomial time?

No, and not only because there are infinitely many proofs.

So, not only am i a third-class physicist, but now officially a first class electrical engineer! 8)

I now have to temper that joy with the realisation that I've just graduated into only the second recession in my lifetime. :oops: see you down the dole office (hopefully not IV though)

I was thinking something more along the lines of:

"Four years of college and all I got was this lousy degree."

or

"Recessions are like recess but with less kick ball."

I should probably get someone with wit to write the witty t-shirt...
