Ask me anything.

[Jamastiene]

I just finished writing 2 math project research papers. I've just taken enough medicine to kill a moose. Never fear though. It's my usualy dose for a math related headache. Before I become incoherent and falling down drunken and tipsy (hopefully :evilgrin:), would anyone like to ask me any questions?

[Crazy Dave]

1. I'll wait till your fully under the influence

Then ask you something :evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

3. I like your style.

I'm not much without being under the influence anyhow. Once I'm tipsy, I can see myself streaking and possibly dancing on a couple of Lounge tables all at the same time. Pah-tay. :evilgrin:

[Crazy Dave]

8. Pah-tay Har-tay!!!

[Jamastiene]

27. I feel some craziness coming on.

:woohoo:

:evilgrin:

[petronius]

2. Will you please post a succinct proof of the Riemann Hypothesis?

In English, please...

[Jamastiene]

4. I drink. I fall down drunk. I get back up and

drink, drink, drink some more. That proves that my hypothesis is true. Damn, I love getting fucked up. How's that? :hi: :evilgrin:

[taterguy]

5. How many miles have you rode your bicycle this month?

[Jamastiene]

9. Teeheehee. Zero and here is why.

Years ago my stepdad took the front wheel off my bike to build a homemade hand plow. As far as I know, the plow still sits in the shed waiting for next spring's garden and my bike looks pitiful. I wouldn't dare try to ride it in that shape nor in this shape (me about now).

[billyskank]

6. Hey Jama

No questions. Just a :hug:

[Jamastiene]

10. billllleeeeeeeeeee...

Howdy. :hug: Good to see you while we can party instead of wracking our brains. You wouldn't believe the beehive question I was assigned in calculus. I have the answer now, but I don't think anyone wants to get into it. I spent days on it and still couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Finally, the teacher himself told me it was simple. I avoided the urge to give him a noogie and he told me. I was supposed to do one thing different to get the answer. It was amazing.

[Mike03]

7. Fascinated by the Math Papers

What are the applications of the math you are studying? Is it calculus, or related to physics by any chance?

And congratulations on your papers, by the way.

[Jamastiene]

12. It is for a calculus class, but the teacher was very lenient.

As long as we wrote about math or a mathematician in general, we were ok. I chose to write about one about Ratios and Proportions and one about Pythagoras (about him more than his math finds.) Did you know he once wrote a musical scale according to how the vertebrae in the human back vibrate and used his music to heal people? He also talked to animals and refused to eat beans. He was an interesting character. For the ratios and proportions, I used transformers, a roof, and a cement mixing job as examples.

[Mike03]

15. I must be lame, because that stuff fascinates me

But it occurred to me, you might not want to talk about math. Maybe I should take the Howard Stern approach and ask you some dirty questions. Is that the kind of questions you mean?

[Jamastiene]

17. Ask whatever you like.

I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. Btw, you are not lame for asking about the math. :hi:

[Mike03]

22. Are you Optimistic or Pessimistic about

the future of the human race?

What would you like to be doing or studying in ten years?

[Jamastiene]

24. Optimistic, for sure.

Now, the time table may be a bit long and drawn out because we have to first find somewhere to stuff the stuffy types who like Chimpy. I vote putting bars on a few of those caves we hear tell about in Afghanistan and locking them all in there until they evolve to our way of thinking. :evilgrin:

In the meantime, in ten years, I hope to have won the lottery and either have my dream home built or be in the active process of building it. To me, dreaming about will be way more fun than the headache of the actual process, and living in it will be a treat. If I have my d'rathers, I'll build a nice storm/bomb shelter with an adjoining root cellar with plenty of good canned food and potatoes and onions and other root veggies. During that time, I hope to finally get to just study music, which is what I really wanted to do to begin with. I really love music and playing my guitar. I love writing songs, so a one room studio of sorts would have to be in the equation somewhere in my dream home. That's what I really wanna do more than anything in this whole wide world.

[Mike03]

28. That's Beautiful

I hope things turn out that way. Just last week my family chipped in on an early birthday present for me, a Les Paul Gibson, my first really nice guitar. No matter how bad things may get, we'll just keep playing "three chords and the truth."

I like your view of the future.

[Jamastiene]

30. Oh, you got a classic great rock guitar.

I don't have any that nice, but I do have 2 guitars that are just my babies. One is a royal metallic blue Charvel (Japanese made) from the actual 80's and the other is a Charvette, same deal. What was so cool about it was that they quit making the Charvels for a number of years and the Charvettes are rare now. They aren't worth a lot of money, but they are worth a lot to me. One day, I hope to get a custom Jackson. I would like cat faces in place of dots on the neck. I was thinking onyx would be great, but there has to be some reason they don't use that very often for the dots.

You and I could start a band and hang out and record in my little shelter/home recording studio. Better yet, let's just pick a place and make a little community for DU musicians and artists to hang out and make it a beautiful little world. I love to dream.

[Mike03]

34. I love to dream too

Keep dreaming. It makes me really happy to meet others who still dream. You take care!

Incidentally, I was more comfortable playing my $250 electric than this Les Paul, which is so strange to me and I'm afraid to touch. And they got me this huge Vox amp, which is ridiculous since I live in this very conservative neighborhood, and it's going to be so loud that I probably won't be able to play it anymore. They meant well, and I don't want to hurt their feelings, but this is overkill. I just love to play the guitar for myself.

[bigwillq]

11. Who will win the World Series?

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

14. Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know this one.

Whichever teams wins 4 games will win it. And it doesn't even matter in which order that team wins the 4 games either. Either way, the one who wins 4 games gets to douse themselves in champaigne and pah-tay. :hi:

[bigwillq]

16. Which team?

:shrug:

You're not that slick! :)

[Jamastiene]

18. Not that slick yet, anyway.

:evilgrin: Later, who knows?

Well, it's like this: I only ever bet on sports once in my life. It was against the Cardinals. It was only 5 bucks, but I still remember it. So this time, I'll say the Cardinals will win, but I won't bet on it. Of course, I'm not sure about that as I haven't had much time to watch my favorite sport this summer. :shrug:

[Crazy Dave]

13. Are you almost there? I got a question....

...in the movie "Good Will Hunting" who did you like better, Will Hunting or the guy Robin Williams called a "mathematical dick"?

[Jamastiene]

20. It's been so long since I saw that movie, that I can't say

with certainty. Was Will Hunting male or female? I tend to like females even more in cold weather. I needs me a snuggle bunny. It's cold tonight. :evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

19. What,is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[Jamastiene]

21. Kinda hard to build up any decent velocity

if yer unladen, isn't it? Now, a laden swallow just might be more of a gulp, so I'd guess lots of velocity with that one. :evilgrin:

[idgiehkt]

42. If you had a choice

between pumpkin pie and carrot cake, which would you choose, and why?

edit: oops, this is totally in the wrong place, maybe you'll see it someday...I'm too lazy to post it again, lol

[Jamastiene]

46. Probably the carrot cake, beause

they usually have nuts in them, don't they? Of course, I'd be happy to have either right about now. I'm hungry again already.

[bigwillq]

23. Do you like milk?

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

25. I love milk.

I especially love chocolate milk. I like chocolate milk made with Hershey's syrup and chocolate milk made with Ovaltine. I have been known to drink an entire pint of milk while walking to class. I go directly to the machine, get milk, open it, and head straight to class. Before I get to the other building, I have finished the milk and can throw the bottle away and go to class. It's almost like one fluid motion. I could probably chug milk. Most people don't have contests like those though.

[bigwillq]

29. Do you curse?

:shrug:

[many a good man]

32. Can you make a quadratic equation of your milk drinking

while walking to class?

[Jamastiene]

36. No, that is something I cannot do.

:spray: Too bad, because I'd love to be able to do my homework in my head and just download the answers to the teacher for grading.

[Jamastiene]

26. And I'd like to ask a question myself.

How did my cats know I was finished with my batch of homework for today? The minute I moved the files to my jump drive, my cats all got up and came to peer into my room. Now, they are running around like nuts. I love it. My cats know my rhythms or can read my mind one. I'm not sure which.

[BarenakedLady]

31. What did I miss today

here in the Lounge. Anything exciting?

[Jamastiene]

33. There is always something exciting happening in the Lounge.

Just what happened today, I'm not sure.

[bigwillq]

35. Do you have an I-Pod?

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

37. No, but I sure wish I did.

Sometimes, I just wish I could go to a completely digital format with the music I like to listen to to avoid having to lug CDs and cassettes and even some old vinyl around just to listen to music. That sounds like a great idea for my when I win the lottery list.

[NNadir]

38. How do you feel about people minimizing Legrange multipliers?

[Jamastiene]

40. Well, it's certainly better than people

maximize country dividers like Chimpy, don'cha think? :evilgrin:

[Mike03]

39. What Are You Drinking, Anyway?

If nobody else has already asked that.

And do you drink more like Hemingway (high tolerance)
or F. Scott Fitzgerald (low tolerance)

[Jamastiene]

41. I drink like a fish.

Although I haven't had a drink in a couple of years, to be honest. I just say drunk when I really mean blitzed because of the meds. I am drinking Dr Pepper as usual tonight. And you?

[Mike03]

43. Nothing very exciting

Two Heineken (sp?) and I will probably take a Benadryl before I go to sleep. I hate writing about my medical problems but since you asked, I am trying to restore my sleep/wake schedule. I just am not able to sleep much anymore, and unless I fix it, I'm worried that I won't be a very happy person.

[Jamastiene]

47. I get very grumpy when I am hungry or

sleepy. If I am both, I am impossible to be around at all. I don't know why that is, but my grandmother always said that was the secret to dealing with me. Keep me fed and give me plenty of sleep and I'm a perfect angel or so she thought. :evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

44. How old are you?

:shrug:

:evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

48. I'm

36 years young. I say young, because I am still a great dreamer at heart and I hope I always will be.

[bigwillq]

49. That is young!

You're as young as you feel. That's what I say.

:hi:

Goodnight! I am leaving work. Take care. :hi:

[Jamastiene]

51. You too.

Keep warm as well. I don't even know if it is cold where you are, but it is only 43 degrees here and I can feel it.

[calico1]

45. Why do I always wake up before my alarm

clock goes off, but dont't wake up if I forget to set it?

[Jamastiene]

50. With most alarm clocks, there is a small click

just before the alarm goes off. Often, I hear that click before mine goes off. Sometimes, a 60 second countdown will be present in some alarm clocks as well. That may be what really wakes you up. Other than that, it could be a subliminal thing. You know deep down you remembered to set it, so you wake up. If you forgot to set it, chances are you were tired and needed more sleep anyhow. Or at least, that's my reasoning here.
