Sweer monkey on a stick, that's tosh.

I'm trying to work out if you're actually serious about that or not (given it's a false implication).

Now, now. It must be a true fact. ;) According to QI they don't change to match their surrounds, it's an exhibitor of mood more than anything else.

Welcome to 'I don't know enough about maths'. Population? 'You!'. Try Googling 'undecidability'.

*splutter*Bromwich Integral*burp* Don't worry your pretty little head about it, Anabelle (see my 'Scrubs' reference :p), it's the proper way to invert a Laplace transform, none of your 'look it up in the textbook' tomfoolery :p

Engineers, people who pretend to be mathematicians and who look up the general solution to a PDE rather than derive it. *cough*Laplace transforms*cough*

Damn, I didn't realise she had cancer. I've seen her on QI a number of times, and she was very sharp witted. Too young to be taken by cancer. :(

There was an article in New Scientist about 2 months ago which talked about a study done on over 1000 women who claimed to have been attacked (claimed, since some couldn't remember). They took blood tests from those women within 12 hours of the claimed assault, and it turned out that only 3% had...

I'm no expert, but surely the fact it's got 'amphetamine' in it's name tells you it's a stimulant, exactly the opposite you'd use to knock someone out (/waits for someone with superior chemistry knowledge to correct him). There seem to be a few urban myths swirling around this thread. Just...

Behold, Arcade Fire gothed up once for Halloween : For some reason, he sent it to me on MSN once :p

no one working for a degree from the University of Life then :p

Yay for elitist wonks!

1) You assume I haven't studied it (that BA on my CV isn't for nothing you know ;)) 2) You assume that Dr, Prof, FRS, DSc etc in the title of thousands of people in the country's names are for nothing 3) You assume thousands of textbooks written in the last 200 years are wrong 4) You...

I defined it about 10 posts ago. The quantity infinity is defined as the quantity which is larger than any Real. If I was talking to you, I'd say 'Read my lips very slowly', but I'm not, so just read my post very slowly : Maths is a framework of logic. Taking one result, and using logic you...

Prove 2=3 without dividing by zero or using modular arithmetic. I suppose it comes down to the fact you've admitted not knowing jack about maths and logic. As such you argue from a position of zero worth. Clearly I cannot convince you because you're suffering from 'See No Evil Hear No Evil...

1/3 = 0.3r Times both sides by 3 3* (1/3) = 3 * 0.3r 1 = 0.9r Holy biscuits Batman, not only have you manipulated an infinite number of decimal places, you've shown 0.9r = 1!! So you're admitting ignorance in the material you argue about, but not willing to admit there's the...

You're confusing a number with infinitely many decimal places with a number whose value is infinite. 0.9r is clearly less than say 1.5, but more than 0. Since it is sandwiched between 0 and 1.5 it's got to be finite in it's size. True, it's number of decimal places isn't, but then neither is...
