I think Denise and the horse deserve a bump.

If one has to die, which is worse, to be bitten to death, or hung like a mule?

Bitten to death- 65%
Hung like a mule- 35%

"Pulling a cart with a stallion seems insane.

That all depends, I suppose, on where (and how hard) you tried to attach the cart to the stallion's ....

[ambrose]

bump.

[JackDanielsOldNo7]

I do not know. I did not post it. Funny story though.

[Boomer Geezer]

It's all Bush's fault.

When did Rumsfeld know about this?

When did Hackworth release this information and where are the pictures?

Hillary know about this weeks ago!!

The funniest thing I've seen in a long time was checking in yesterday to see a thread titled:

"Freeper BolganPolska Has Died. (Again)"

By the time I clicked on it, it had already been pulled.

An autopsy would determine whether the direct cause of death was a severed jugular vein or damaged spine...

Considering what comes after horse foreplay, I'd say dying was the preferable choice.

Once again, reality mirrors "South Park!"

You just can't make this stuff up.

[Darksheare]

Nopers.
Horrible, no-one could possibly make this up.
*ugh*
And no, before anyone asks, I cannot control animals or command them.
So it is definately NOT my fault.

If Bozosky the polish clown had been conservative in his approach to the management of a sexually frustrated horse he would probably be alive today. OK? There (he said, thinking all the while of the dinner table scene in "Young Frankenstein", when Gene Wilder mashed his food with his hands, after being reminded by Terri Garr that he had "not even touched his food)

Ain't no big deal in Montana. It happens. Move on.

Ah DUDE... I did not need to see that...

On to more edifying (not to mention stupifying) topics: what are your thoughts on how error will scale upon integration? Say I've got "a" % error in y as a function of x; what happens to the error of the integration of y with respect to x, as a function of "a"?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Lettuce see...

If the error is constant (a fixed proportion) then it ought to follow through the integration like a fixed value:

So the integral of af(x) would 1/2af(x)^2 ...

But, if the function included the "a", you'd have more trouble:

integral of f(ax) wouldn't be 1/2f(ax)^2 ...

[maxwell]

Well so for z number of points, error in int(y) will go as sqrt[ sum(i=1..z)[(a_i)^2 * (dy_i/dx)^2] ], or something like that... Where a_i is the error in y of the ith point, and z points are integrated over...
