Sean Chisham's Tubenet,


You're my buddy. Thank you for taking away my nonschool, nonband, nonpractice time away from me. Oh, and sleep.


Sincerely,

Charlie Goodman

' seen this one a few times before...' always reminds me of a "Bavarian" Sally Fields (without the kooky p*l*t*cs)

She's also missing the flight inducing nuns habit - which I always visualize when I see her.

By the way in writing p*l*t*cs, are you avoiding something?

[Brassdad]

Yeah, I see the Sally Fields resemblance. P*l*t*cs, however, never entered my mind. All I saw was beer and boobs, so SUE ME!

Doc

Shouldn't that be B**Bs ?

What about Boo Bees?

.

I stand corrected.

In evaluating the expression B**Bs: Just as any non-zero number raised to the "zero-th" power is one, so any (presumably non-zero) number (represented here as B) raised to the "Bs-th" power is Bs (more commonly capitalised, and hereinafter referred to, as BS).

The concatenated-multiplicative expression P*l*t*cs has a less-straightforward result, partly due to some ambiguity as to what the four variables refer to (though one might reasonably guess that l refers to "length", t to "time", and cs either to "computer science" or a "crock of something") ...

What about Boo Bees?

I don't think bees scare that easily.

Not a ghost of a chance!

I don't think bees scare that easily

Why do you think they call them yellow jackets?

I thought the yellow was for visibility (so they wouldn't have to deal with bumblebees pulling out in front of them and causing accidents )
