Well, as we all know, it's a long week. And, since we just can't wait around for Anything Can Happen Thursdays, we've deemed every Tuesday, Super Nerdy Tuesday. Super Nerdy Tuesday will comprise of some amount of time spent being nerdy. I know, I know. You're thinking "how could we possibly be any nerdier?" Well, it's happening so pack your invisibility cloak, buckle up your utility belt, strap on your proton pack, and fire up the X-wing.
On the agenda tonight: Firefly and a reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I smell steak!
Yesterday, the gorgeous ladies Yoda and Sonic were joined by their friend Captain Malcolm Reynolds in a trip to the Farmer's Market. There was much rejoicing over the bounteous supply of wholesome and healthy fruits and vegetables out for sale. Yoda walked away with a massive head of garlic, three ears of yellow corn, a quart of carrots, and a bundle of red potatoes. The potatoes were had with a bit of haggling, 40 potatoes were not needed for the meals ahead, just a few, namely 12. Sonic walked away with a bunch of delicious raspberries and three ears of corn, while the Captain gathered a couple of heavenly smelling peaches and fresh green beans. The rest of the day consisted of seeing a very large mural at a church and a double surprise party for the Captain and another friend.
This morning dawned slightly cloudy and mostly innocent. After a day of trying to be productive and work on their comps, Yoda and Sonic decided to make a dinner of beef, corn, carrots and potatoes and prepare stew for the morrow. The adventure begins...
After running to the store, acquiring a chuck roast, borrowing a crockpot, skyping with one long-distance boyfriend, and cleaning some much needed dishes, Yoda and Sonic started with cleaning the vegetables. Once the potatoes and carrots were nicely garlic-salted and in the toaster oven, and the corn was boiling in the hot pot, the ladies approached the more daunting task of how to cook the roast. Yoda, in capital rouge cook style, has an electric fryer-skillet thing which was expected to take care of the job. However, Yoda and Sonic were not quite aware of how much smoke is created from cooking roast that way. In hopes of not letting the smoke detector enjoy being obnoxious, Yoda, in her infinite wisdom, unplugged the skillet and stuck the skillet out the third story window before taking the lid off to ventilate the smoke.
After sticking the skillet out the window twice, Yoda decided it was not worth the anxiety and transfered the roast into her glass bread pan and had the roast join the potatoes and carrots in the toaster oven. It was about this time that a young boy walking up the stairs outside Yoda's room voiced the surprised title of this piece. "I smell steak!" he shouted. A bit later another girl lauded the cooking efforts, "It smells awesome in here! What is it?!" Yoda and Sonic may never cook a roast in a toaster oven again, but the subsequent four course meal (timing is a bit difficult in situations like these) was delectable.
The ladies now just hope they leave learning to make stew in a toaster oven for another day.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
Yes.
As evidenced by the Ents in The Lord of the Rings, trees are not always the nicest of living creatures.
Religion and Math: The Original Worldview
I'm tired of people asking! I'm tired of people's split, twisted, and fractured worldviews!
What does Math and Religion have in common? What can you do with both of those majors? That must be quite a split, doesn't it make your head hurt? Wow, those are at opposite sides of the spectrums!
I have one thing to say to you all: No, the combination of Math and Religion was the original worldview! Boo-yah! In the ancient days, humans wanted to find a way to explain the world around them and so started math and religion. The learned people were the religious people. Math was started by the religious people trying to understand the world. Religion was started by the mathematical people trying to find a cause for the world.
But wait! There's more!
Studying math and religion today gives a total spectrum view on logic, scientific thought, mechanics, politics, rhetoric, literature, art, and history! What could be better for a liberal-arts minded country where everyone should be a cookie-cutter well-rounded individual? Nothing! I am in the right! Math and Religion are going to reunite someday and take over the world like they conquered the world the first time! And I shall be at the front of such a conquest in pursuit of all those who have questioned the very basic foundations on which their civilized thought patterns and societal structure has been formed. I shall stand at attention in the line of historic mathematician-religious philosophers that have changed the way the world thinks and describes itself and I shall fear no human. You shall all know my name and my cause. I am here to bring an end to the ignorant, fractured view of Religion and Math!
Wake up Earth! The circle of Life is being reconnected!

Our Friend Socrates
Many of you know our friend Socrates. He lives in the hearts and minds of the masses as the first and greatest thinker of the classical world. There is nothing quite like knowing Socrates will be with you wherever you choose to wander across the great vista of knowledge. He unlocked issues of justice, freedom, peace and the human soul. He has given comfort to millions with his questions of such brilliance, such relevance, as his "
