Good one, ace. :)

Okay, you got the value of "c" right, but you neglected to note that the value of "e" is 2.71828182... and so forth. Now excuse me while I go out and nail some babes.

As nice as it is to know that the budget deficit is going down, that's still a horrifying number. Should we really congratulate our government because in a single year they are only over-spending by THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE BILLION DOLLARS?

Call me when we actually balance that thing.

"e." That's hardcore geekery.

Do the "babes" you plan on "nailing" take the form of complex linnear matrices, by any chance?

"Now go back to making Venn diagrams with circles labled "Me" and "Possibilities of Getting Laid," and note that the areas contain no points of overlap."

haha, Ace finds the funny, yet again.

Actually, sitting around looking at a small bit of my company's biz in a day, $331 billion does not seem like a lot of money.

I mean, what kind of overage is that compared to tax receipts? If the amount taken in by taxes is $331 billion, then a $331 billion deficit is troubling. If $331 trillion is the taxman's take, then $331 billion is piffle.

As well, the article mentions comparing the deficit (and the debt, which is the accumulated value of all the deficits... the nation's credit card balance, as it were, except that the U.S. gets the best interest rates you can imagine) to the GDP, but they don't actually tell you what that is. I've seen these stats before, mainly in reference to the EU's deficit spending, but I can't say what the debt is off the top of my head.

Ace, by the sounds of it, word nerds and D&D guys are getting all the p***y .

If your answers for the cop don't work and you find yourself in court, there's only one word you need to know: "tubolcaine."

Ace,

You are correct, sir.

Knowledge of Venn Diagrams, and the like, will not get you any.

Sigh.

MeTooThen,

Why doncha go with a Spiral of Archimedes? Totally gets the chicks wet.

So far this year, federal gov't receipts have totaled $1,746,266 million (i.e. 1.7 trillion) through July.

Federal gov't outlays have totaled $2,048,851 million (i.e. 2 trillion).

Always wanted to have pillow talk with a woman who will say "momentum eigenfunction" to me and mean it.

Sorry, Geoff, I'm already married.

At least Ace didn't bring up i because then we'd be into complex numbers.

"Sorry, Geoff, I'm already married."

As am I, and quite happily so, but fantasy will persist . . .

Sean M. Thank you, I never thought I would find the proper spelling of that mystic word. Now I have to go get my paddle and robes.
