Griping about that would be like getting upset that the ownership interest is called fee simple absolute. After all, there is no such thing as ABSOLUTE ownership, right?

And land ownership is rarely simple.

As a hopefully future fellow doctor who followed a lock game with a -$6,000 game, I can certainly affirm that one can never be too presumptuous about a person's intellectual/trivial skill based off of one game, sad (or should I be happy?) as I am to see myself fall (rise?) to third in rank.

Yes (no?)

On the pi question, I was actually looking forward to saying that pi is a transcendental number. We've known it is irrational for a while, but the idea of a transcendental number fascinates me. if you can remember the proof that pi is not algebraic, I commend you, for I could never quite grasp it.

I can't remember it off the top of my head, but I did write a paper on it once. Proving that e is transcendental is slightly easier. Not that I can remember that proof, either, although I do remember the proof that it is irrational.[/quote}

Nice! Were you a math major?

Trying to catch up and played this one off the Archive (hence, no visuals).
It was quite awhile ago so maybe no one will remember (or care?), but just have to ask...

VICE PRESIDENTS $200
Recent holder of the office seen here

Did they really just show a picture of an office?

If so, I'm mighty impressed with Stephanie's get of Dick Cheney!

(And, if not, what up with that grammar? - Or is this, as they say, the "new normal"? )

To quote another famous Canadian: "The trouble with normal is it always gets worse."

Given that the name of the category was "Vice Presidents," does it not make sense that "the office" refers to "the office of the Vice-President"? I suppose Alex's inflection would help, but the wording makes perfect sense to me in context.
