My mom used to say, "it takes so little to amuse the simple-minded." She was talking about me, of course.

I know you mean that sarcastically. Did you ever read 'Waiting for Godot'?

Or see the play? The most boring thing I could imagine until you think about it...Hmmmm.

Or existentialism? What exactly is a 90 degree corner? Math majors, like myself, ponder silly things like that all the time. Of course you know that 1 + 1 does not equal 2 because of limit theorems. I got hooked the day we defined infinity.

BTW, I like your emoticon humor.:)

Ratboy said essentially the same thing while we were strumming the corrugations on a downspout today...
