Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters arise and answer the call From: Mr Red Date: 15 Feb 01 - 06:34 PM near redditch UK (more red than itch) there used to be a road sign to "Pink Green Only". It still says "Pink Green". Why? to distiguish it from the all those blue pinks I guess. Redditch is not my favourite town. Even the Festival has moved to the charming nearby Alcester (june 22/23/24) www.alcesterfolkfestival.co.uk |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters arise and answer the call From: Hawker Date: 15 Feb 01 - 06:51 PM Hey, I actually have a photograph of a sky that is sky blue pink - it is a sunset and all who see it say: 'OOooh Look! Sky blue pink!!!!' In Exeter, Devon, UK there is a road called Little Cross Hill...... I just wondered why the hill was cross? Lucy |

But then again, If you have 1 and multiply it by 0, shouldn't you still have your original 1? " First, remember there is a difference between figures and numbers. It's sort of the difference between letters and words. Figures are only the written elements with wich we build representations of numbers, which refer to quantities. With that in mind: Zero is not a number (not a quantity); it is the absence of a quantity. Multiplication is sort of the equivalent of an adjective-noun combination. Thus, if you multiply zero times one, you are creating the absence of one. Or, you could say that you have one empty quantity. Either way, it's nuthin'. Sorry to spoil the happy nature of this thread by actually giving an answer. Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters arise and answer the call From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 16 Feb 01 - 11:11 AM No, Dave, I like yer reasoning but I still hold with the maths-is-a-government-conspiracy theory. They're hoping that if you're too busy wrecking your head with numbers, you're too busy to revolt. Mind you, it leads back to the same old question - how can a government have all those brilliant X-File type conspiracies and yet be so inept at running the country? (Arrrgh! No! They're coming through the door!! Help! I didn't mean to say inept, I meant to say -AAARGHHHH- - -) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters arise and answer the call From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 16 Feb 01 - 11:27 AM I've always wondered: if they didn't want anyone to investigate the X-files why did they keep them? And having kept them, why let that nosy Mulder read them. Why not transfer him to the Anchorage office? RtS |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters arise and answer the call From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 16 Feb 01 - 11:38 AM Well said, RtS. Perhaps for the same reason they kept the Ark of the Covenant when Indiana Jones found it. They just put it in a big box saying "do not open" and shoved it into a giant warehouse. Why? Perhaps that's their inept factor creeping in, or perhaps they want them to be found (she said darkly). Maybe that's part of the conspiracy too. Maybe we're meant to think there are X-Files... oh bollix, my head's all messed up now. There's no way I'll be able to start the revolution now. |
