Observation: Hmm. Pizza Pies are very round but you don't have to be aware of PI to slice it. Why use decimal system when Sumerian and Babylonian mathematics was based on a sexegesimal, or base 60, numeric system, which could be counted physically using the twelve knuckles on one hand the five fingers on the other hand. It's very easy to do in trading and in the middle east they still use it. |

I was busy that day at work and went out that night, and then all weekend after, so I didn't have a chance to mention that last Friday was the 50th anniversary of the beginning of my existence. No, not my birthday, that other all-important event that comes before birth. About nine months before. You may now all tell me "TMI!"

Yeah, why not stick it here since I found this thread :) I knew there is a "FORUMS" button on the control panel of SETI but I have never really "Noticed" it. Bored, having some fever etc. and cannot sleep at all yet... Pressing random buttons on computer :D Been using SETI since 1999 so I guess, it could be a time to make a first post... Hi all! |

Apple appoints Cookie Monster as its spokesman Technically incorrect: To make you still pay attention to the iPhone 6S, Apple releases an ad featuring some people's favorite muppet performing his muppetry. The blue Sesame Street Muppet has been persuaded -- one can only imagine the edifying incentives --to front an ad for the iPhone 6S. |

This is not overtly political. It is a more cultural thing. It also helps to know the source material behind the lampooning. Tokyo-Newspaper-Fuses-Attack-on-Titan-and-Donald-Trump |

Makes a new meaning to 'crack head'.... Ebola Meth? Police Joke Nets at Least 1 Drug Arrest The joke has shown up on some police department Facebook pages: Anyone in possession of methamphetamine or other illegal drugs should stop by the police station for testing because the drugs might somehow contain Ebola. |
