Easter egg for kid in poverty

Making George Washington Carver really proud. Look him up. He was a genius.

Same in my case (like 3, 4 times all in all), but these guys can really forget that cos I'll only marry the announcement speaker lady of Ostbahnhof if she turn into a hot bloke, or Perla if I turn into a hot bloke, or Zerö's single peanut, or... (not much time today, make up the rest of my list on your own) ... ;)

^*blush*

You don't want me, though. As far as I can tell, the more or less unanimous assessment has been that I only look good on paper. :o

New question of the day (I really enjoyed the peanut one, however):

Have any amusing phobias? Bonus points for anything really humiliating.

I am afraid of sharks. I live rather far inland now, but when I was a coastal child, my school showed us a beach safety film which apparently had not been previewed for content....it included autopsy photos of shark victims. The humiliating bit is that I am uncomfortable walking on the 6-inch-thick glass ceilings of shark tanks at big aquaria, and I don't even like to be in dark, freshwater, landlocked lakes, where there is zero possibility of marine predators. I prefer clear, flowing streams, where I can look for leeches and planarians without fear of being nibbled overzealously.

oi oioi.

i'm phobic about being stuck in a drain and/or being flushed away with the water. accidently stepping on the shower drain makes me run around the house with my head full of shampoo. same in swimming pools, i am not getting near those drain holes.. if i get into the pool at all.

oh, and flying bugs that can sting freak me out.

Ha, and I'm theoretician and very, very fond of everything and everyone only looking good on paper ;)
(And anyway the person who made this assessment most probably is a liar and should be integrated out of all your equations!)


Mmh, amusing phobias :confused:
Mmh, the unamusing ones are in the phobia thread already.
Well, then maybe the phobia of not getting married by Perla when and if I'll become a hot bloke on day.

I'm afraid of blackboard chalk

i'm freaked out by things with nooks and crannies. tufted leather sofas, for example. and last night i was sitting in a bubble bath and i tossed in a fizzy bath bomb and watched it as it fizzled away.... only to notice that the water pits and corrodes the bath bomb in a very disturbing nook-and-cranny way.

now i might not be able to use bath bombs anymore.

Q for Friday:

¿ Which mathematical function describes you best ?
(Some examples, i.e. the first 8 that entered my mind, given, but if yours isn't here, maybe it's there)

sine and cosine


straight line


delta function


exponential and logarithmic function


Heaviside step-function


tangent function


hyperbolic spiral


modulus






Me: logarithmic, mostly, sometimes spiraling hyperbolically onto something

i have no idea

maths is the only sausage i don't speak :(

^You don't need to! (....it's the Devil's sausage some people say :D)
Just have a look which form(s) you can relate with! :)
