A little anecdote, just because I've been thinking about it.

I am currently employed by a private company that works towards fostering and creating advancement in adolescent education.

Basically, i'm a grader and tutor at a learning center, LOL.

Anywho, I had to work yesterday on New Years Eve. For some businesses that doesn't seem out of the norm(like retail,food,etc.). But when you're talking about an education business like a learning center, you would think with Holidays they would be closed. I mean, you wouldn't think kids would actually be there on New Years Eve. But damn, they were there. I guess the big thing is that they had homework over christmas they had finished and needed us to grade it. There was a shit ton of it too. But compounding the fact they had dropped off homework, many of them stayed and worked on other work for a few hours.

I applaud the kids for their work ethic, though as a younger kid i could never commit myself to doing that. The silver lining to working yesterday is that i get paid and we got dinner at the workplace afterwards. So, not too bad on my part.

No, not all of the kids were asian:shifty:.

Pi is the most "random" number we know, and a perfect circle is unknown in nature (assuming the human brain that thought of it ain't part of nature).

lim f(n) to infinity (1+1/n)^n

you can't naturally explain that!

I could explain it by my calculator is solar powered and it's night time right now.

Suffice to say that the concept of "e+1" is found randomly in nature.

Ya know what bugs me? The media announces that Jackson signs with the Cubs like a week and a half ago (or whatever it is) and then when it's all signed and dotted on a contract, the news outlets report that Jackson signs witht he Cubs. They get two news spots that are basically identical seperated by a couple of weeks. ESPN does this too at times on the bottomline and that bugs me as I get really excited to see MLB coming up on it to only find out they are re-hasing in essence "old news"
