Holy jeez their proportions. Are they supposed to be ponies or giraffes?

Supposedly, Lewis Carroll disliked the idea of imaginary numbers and made fun of the mathematical community for supporting them in the Alice books. I'm not sure whether this is true or just a rumor.
I don't think he specifically referenced imaginary numbers in the books, but he was a traditionalist, and saw things like imaginary numbers and non-Euclidean geometry, which were gaining acceptance at the time, as absurd. Hence why the world in his Alice stories is built on twisted and fallacious logic.
Seems kind of daft to me, since negative numbers are no more tangible and even natural numbers are arguably no more than a convenient abstraction anyway. "Imaginary numbers" is kind of a misnomer.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I remembered reading about that in a few places, but my memory was a bit hazy. Derp.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Lewis Carroll is my favorite author of all time, Bangs next, Twain third. Both of the Alice books were the only fantasy or really fiction I allowed myself to read as a kid. As much as I would want to defer to his wisdom regarding imaginary numbers, though, they've had practical uses from what I understand. Fractals, particularly.

Went for a bike ride today trying to find a used bookstore (which I couldn't find because I have no sense of direction, but I got ice cream) and got a sunburn. Flgrhehrh. Damn you sun.

Ah, the sun, our arch-nemesis. Hope it gets better soon.
I *think* so, we too much one year when my brother and I went camping. I need to stop trusting the weather around here. It seems to change by hour around here lately.
In other news: Because I feel like indulging my stupid side and make myself feel better as both a person and writing, watching a goofy made for TV movie about cyberbullying. :D It's so deliciously bad, especially as someone who's dealt with dicks on the internet.

Heh I left fuckyou.gif on his myspace, he's probably eating a bowl of benzos right now *flexes*
I think cyberbullying is only really a serious problem for younger kids (middleschool on down) and honestly I don't think you should be using the interwebz unsupervised til you're in high school anyway.
(I’m the only employee still working a cash register late one night. I’ve got a long line, and the next customer keeps glaring at me.)
Me: “Hello, miss, sorry about the wait. Did you find everything all right?”
Customer: “I’m so sick of you people.”
Me: “Of who?”
Customer: “First, that awful girl stacking the shelves with the pink hair, and now you with that… thing on your face! Why are you brats so desperate for attention?”
(Two years ago, I lost my right eye in an accident. I wear an eyepatch now.)
Me: “Ma’am, that’s not a fashion statement, I really need—”
Customer: “Don’t lie to me!”
(Without warning, she lunges across the counter and grabs the patch, snapping the cord and pulling it off. She laughs with triumph for about a second before she sees my empty eye socket.)
Customer:*screams and runs out of the store, leaving her items but taking the eyepatch*
(That customer never came back. Fortunately, I have a lot of spare eyepatches, but I had to finish the rest of my shift that night with a paper bandage over the socket.)
(I am a customer at a bookstore. I am browsing a few shelves when another customer comes up to me.)
Customer: “Excuse me!”
(I think I’m blocking her way, so I move two feet over.)
Me: “Sorry, ma’am.”
Customer: “Why the f*** are you walking away from me, you f***ing little c***! I’ll have you fired for this!”
Me: “I’m sorry, I think you’re conf—”
Customer: “You little w****! You think you can sell my daughter these trashy novels, and expect to get away with it? She told me all about the saleslady who told her ‘Oh, you don’t want the Twilight series, Harry Potter is much better!’ Well, I’m telling you right now, my daughter DOES want the Twilight series. So, you better exchange the books right now, you b****!”
Me: “Ma’am, there’s been a mistake. I don’t work here.”
Customer: “DON’T YOU LIE TO ME, YOU LITTLE S***!”
(The woman whaps me over the head with a hardcover book. This one is the fifth Harry Potter and therefore the thickest. I stumble backwards, and fall on my butt. At this point, an actual employee has noticed the situation, and has called for mall security. He runs over to try to break it up.)
Employee: “Ma’am, you can’t hit other customers!”
Customer: “That’s not a customer, and don’t you lie to me! I know it’s another one of your second rate employees, trying to get out of exchanging my books!”
(The customer proceeds to kick me as I’m still on the ground. When the employee tries to stop her, she hits him across the face with the book as well. He doesn’t fall over; instead, he grabs her arm and gets the book from her. She continues to try attacking, so he puts her in a headlock to immobilize her.)
Customer: “YOU’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF LITTLE F***ERS WHO DON’T WANT TO RETURN MY BOOK! WELL, I’M GETTING ALL YOU A**HOLES FIRED!”
(After screaming more profanities, security finally shows up. She is escorted out in handcuffs and is currently serving jail time for assault and battery. I ended up with a concussion, but got a five-hundred dollar gift card to the store as compensation. I also got a date with the employee who came to my rescue!)
I like Not Always Right. Whenever I feel damaged and abnormal, I can just go there and bask in the knowledge that no, I'm actually pretty darn competent.
The film is depicting cyberbullying down to a 17 year old. Here's my problem with how's it's being shown: The main character's mom is over protective (which the narrative is showing as being the right thing) and she doesn't do logical things like not add people as friends on her online profile who are dicks to her in real life and when her skeezy little brother posts a (hilarious) dirty status update when he hacks her account she cries about it and does not delete the status and tell people that someone hacked her account. gjgjhjh
Not, as far as real cyberbullying goes I think it's a big issue for middle school kids because they might not know what to handle it. That and when you get floods and floods of harassment (like death threats flooding your email, people post pics of your home) that you can't control by just blocking the person.

There's also the factor that you can't block users on every kind of forum.
The worst that can happen if it's one of the board staff bullying you.(had that happen on another board, reported it to an Admin) If it's an Admin, and it's a privately-made board(as in not a provider like Proboards or something), you're pretty much screwed there.

You can just leave the forum?..
No, you report them for harassment instead. Stop the bully, don't let them get other people. Also, they're the ones that need to leave, not the victims.
I find that an honestly horrid solution(unless there is no way to stop the bully, but it should never come to that.)

So. I'm in a college program for the next week
And my room is 413
I'm quite pleased with this.

It's a number used to represent something as if it did exist.
It's fairly simply IMO
Seems kind of daft to me, since negative numbers are no more tangible and even natural numbers are arguably no more than a convenient abstraction anyway. "Imaginary numbers" is kind of a misnomer.
Lewis Carroll's books are awesome, though.
...wow, this was almost an Anonus post.
At least you got ice cream!

I dunno. I think I learned some decent "life lessons" on the internet.
But again, they would've been lost on me at a younger age.
