    Pete, never loan money to a smoker.

    that’s just ridiculous pete, dont listen to that. tho your co-worker borrowing money from is… eh.. kinda tacky. he does need to realize that if he’s a smoker and he’s gonna borrow money he’s gonna have to say the money is for nicorette gum or that he recently quit or severely cut down., etc. still kinda tacky

    *rob*

  2. *rob*, I usually get a venti iced cafe mocha twice a summer in lieu of regular iced coffee, which I never get at Starbucks anyway since I see no reason to overpay for what, to me, is coffee that is too strong and too bitter.

  3. lechacal,

    Fibonacci is one of many “larger schemes”
    check out

    Mandelbrot
    Godel
    Mobius

    there is a long list of
    mathematical discoveries which
    seem to uncover the complexity of
    what is truly going on around us.

    when one begins to notice that there is a higher order
    to what was once perceived as random or chaotic,
    it begs the question of what begat this design in particular.
    True, we as humans are bounded by the limitations of
    our own brains,
    but it would at least begin to start the question in many people that; if we know that there is more going on around us and more is being revealed by the deepest of probes into mathematics is it possible to jump out of our little brains and see above the fence to something more?

    …if the alternative to believing in a higer order is nothingness,
    what happens when we begin to understand that even nothingness is defined by something?
