Infinity-boy is the new Angry-guy
Jul. 8th, 2005 07:34 pmSo today WOP was stated in Number Theory.
Tom: That is a veritable shitload.
Me: Is it a certifiable shitload?
Chris: Cancellation is entirely unlike sex.
Some time ago, in response to ∞-boy's initial suggestion that ∞ might be in N, Eric the Pen suggested that perhaps it was inbetween 31 and 32. Today at dinner it was suggested that perhaps nobody had found infinity in N simply because nobody had bothered to look between 31 and 32. But, Lucas objected, 32 is 25, so people look at it all the time. My response: "People look at 32 because it's 25. People look at 31 because it's 25-1. But nobody looks inbetween!" (That might not be quite it; Anton has a more exact version.)
So today Glenn did his zero ring bit, and ∞-boy objected much, for reasons that, quite obviously, didn't make any sense. Thus, he is the new Angry-guy. (Angry-guy was one of the teachers (i.e. one of the PFT guys) the past two years; he didn't say anything during the zero ring lecture, but he did look incredibly angry.)
Yay, today there was much playing of Settlers. Yay Freudian slips: So while we were playing Settlers, Eric[0] was going for longest road, and as we all know, you need wood to build roads. So Eric accidentally said he was going for longest wood.
Dina keeps popping up around the place, it seems.
Mandatory Fun is soon. Oh, Connie and Li-Mei did the skit (with Li-Mei as Cameron and Connie as Arthur) and they got it wrong. The JCs will make a point of being the ones to do it next week.
Yeah, that's all.

[0]From now on, if I say "Eric" with neither specification nor context, I probably mean Eric the Pen. Oh, and there's also a first-year named "Erick", but obviously, if I mean him, I'll just use his name.
