I did figure out that they had something do to with Haman, so that's a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get to help build the sukkah in the Fall, though (but I didn't sleep in it; it was cold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior1027 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I'm dating an awesome/amazing girl! P.S. Awesome idea for a thread. I think sometimes us Phatmassers have a bad habit of having to post every piece of bad news we can find.

Archaeology cat Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Just got back from Mass. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it today, as I'd missed it this morning, but Kieran and I were able to go to the 16.30 Mass instead. Kieran also took a good, long nap today. He needed it, and so did I! Edited March 10, 2009 by Archaeology cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I totally had this math problem where I was able to do this awesome thing where I factored 64 out of 64cosx^2+64sinx^2 under the radical and the whole thing went to eight and then I divided everything by two. It was pretty cool. Mostly because my friend was totally going about it the wrong way and said I couldn't use a quadratic formula because that would yield two solutions.
