I vote that nobody does this again.I have to respectively disagree. I think that private information should remain private, and private jokes between friends should remain private, but private insults and taunts are fair game in my book.
No one should feel protected by privacy if they email the equivalent of a rasberry.
Same goes for any communication with another. A profession of love is private, a gross insult is not.

Scientists go through great trouble, sometimes working decades to prove one little point. I think it is a disservice to such seekers of truth to say that nothing is ever proven. You chided me for playing with symantics, but now you are playing with symantics.
There was a fairly lengthy period between the general acceptance of the heliocentric solar system and Newton's equations for gravity. During these centuries, the only advantage of heliocentrism was that it simplified calculations -- and that only after Kepler.
There are always periods in science when paradigms are accepted without the seal of formal proof.

My calculator blows up at about 69!I don't do much math at the moment, but I always thought it was unfortunate that calculators didn't have a birthday problem button. I suppose it's easy enough to program though.

Thanks for your concern. I still get around. And you don't need to be quick or fast to type at a keyboard anyway. ;)

Thank y'all so much for the birthday solution! I previously thought it was a stunning coincidence that my two brothers' birthdays were the same as my best friend and her husband's.

Indeed, he's a darling. Come on, do you really think men would post pictures of their kittens on their FR pages? ;-) You mean you never looked at my profile?

Dang, your cat has big ears. Do you think she gets Radio Free China on those antennae? ;-)

You may have the only kitten ever named for a
SnigletTM. Maybe you should name your next cat "Sniglet."

Maybe Schroedinger should have named his cat Singlet.

I think "Spork" predates Sniglets. I was introduced to the Spork (a combination spoon and fork -- my father called them "abominations") in first grade back in '71, and IIRC, sniglets didn't come into being until "Real People" in the late 70s.

To: VadeRetro
That's it! I knew it was some show I was watching during that time period.

Science is able to give some pretty strong proofs...Perhaps an example would be helpful.
