Done!, one Semester

[omorka]

Where the holy flying fuck has this school year gone? Anyway, for two weeks I shall be nocturnal again, and my kids are once again free folk, not numbers. (Debate called me at 1:45 to find out his exam grade; he just about took my ear off whooping when I told him - and it wasn't even really that good.)

Links you need to see: the Christian Science Fair and what happens when crochet and mathematics intersect.

Sounds like bassfingers, memeslayer, and quantumduck are all on their way or close to it . . . good journey, y'all.

That first link is so sad. Any normally intelligent -- and properly educated -- high-school student ought to be able to point out the fallacious "research" in most of those exhibits. I can't call them "ezperiments" because they aren't.

[starcat-jewel.livejournal.com]

Nor are they experiments. Oy, what's with my spelling today?

[kansas-dave.livejournal.com]

It's a spoof.

Sorry, this is not a spoof

[wyldraven.livejournal.com]

If only it were. But these people are dead serious.

[kansas-dave.livejournal.com]

It is definately satire, though extremely deadpan. Take a longer look through there web site and this will be clear.

For example...

I bow to your greater research.

Thanks for the info.

[kansas-dave.livejournal.com]

Ack. Their web site.

[omorka.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah . . . I thought that was pretty obvious, myself. (I wouldn't have paired it with the fibercraft Lorenz manifold if I'd thought it were serious.)

[starcat-jewel.livejournal.com]

*whew!* That's good to know. It's a damnably realistic spoof, though; that's exactly the same kind of garbage I hear for real all the time.

[kansas-dave.livejournal.com]

Ack!! Definitely.

I'm entering my dotage, and losing my ability to spell...
