    I liked math till the day the problem and the solution looked the same a la(1+a=1+a).And isn't calculus that gunk on teeth that needs to be scraped off?

    I treat calculus as a neccessary evil though(something like a root canal)
    I promise to post no more dental analogies!

    • NCAA playoffs

      The first round of the Womens NCAA volleyball playoffs is this weekend. I'd like to watch but getting to Maples Pavilion on a Friday night is murder with traffic. BART doesn't go all the way to Palo Alto and ECR traffic is ridiculous if you want to drive. Having a huge shopping mall next door doesn't help either. When I used to referee there I'd leave two hours early to get there on time.

      Anyone know who's playing next weekend (at Stanford)?

                        Stanford plays Cal this weekend. Ok great I'm thinking, either Maples Pavillion or Berkeley RSF both are close. No, They are playing in AUSTIN! AUSTIN, TEXAS! Two west coast teams gotta play in Texas. It figures...

                          Oh I see. My Spanish is very rusty. In that case, I am getting infirmo sick, although I'm on my way to getting loco. ;)

                                Rugby is English, not Scottish (though they did take to it like a rat to haggis)
                                and you forgot to mention caber tossing, Highland dancing (what other nation makes their wee girls dance on swords), Shinty (hockey on steroids) and of course dog trials.
