Flying to Boise for pretty much a 24 hour stay. First time in Idaho, wonder how many potatoes i can eat in that time
 
It always annoyed me that when Paul Simon sings about 50 ways to leave your lover, he actually only happens to mention, like, five ways in the end and then he just repeats it. What about the other 45, dude?

No problem Foro! Shall I pass on your phone number so they can get in touch with you directly to find out exactly what you want from them?

You can direct them here as well. Have been in touch with a German metal band before when I started analyzing their lyrics/song titles on their forum.

By the way, first ask for the autograph, then the questions and demands. ;)

None of those suitable then?

My favourite Paul Simon lyric is "he ducked back down the alley with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl" - anyone up for a new thread along the lines of "lyrics we thought must be misheard but turned out to be genuine"?
:lol:
 
I'm using an ancient calculator at work. One of those where you type 100/3*3 and receive 99,9999999 if you know what I mean.

It occurred to me that with their smartphones, kids today probably aren't using those anymore. So they will never learn about the joy you get out of typing BOOBIES into a calculator. They won't understand the joy of typing any word into a calculator.

What a loss of culture.
 
I don't think smartphones are generally allowed for calculations at school, not for me at least. You can do so much more with a proper calculator, including staring at boobs.
 
That's cruel. Using school equipment to construct even the vaguest sexual innuendo in the honest belief that your teacher had never seen that one before is an essential part of puberty.
 
There is a healthy market for proper calculators. Texas Instruments is still selling them. I don't remember elementary school, in highschool appear on a math or physics exam without a calc and you'd be tossed out. In college, we could use cheatsheet books for anything. I remember there was every single formula needed for physics exam there. It's not about learning them letter for letter, it's about knowing what to use and when.
 
Every calculator I ever owned was Texas Instruments, come to think of it. Was there ever any other relevant manufacturer?
 
You're supposed to do every calculation without help here. Wasn't just my time, it's still the case.

What kind of school are you in? How can you do logarithms if you don't have either a logarithmic book or a calculator?
