The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that build off of each other by adding them together. Starting with 0 and 1, the sequence continues 1 (0+1),2 (1+1), 3 (2+1), 5 (3+2), 8, 13, 21, 44, 65, etc.

Fibonacci did not invent the sequence, but learned it from Arab scholars and introduced/popularized it in Europe.

Donald Duck's costumed hero alter ego, Paperinik, was created in Italy in the late 1960s by editor Elisa Penna, writer Guido Martina, and artist Giovan Battista Carpi. It was partly a parody of Italy's iconic costumed anti-hero, Diabolik.

yay!

Attempting to devise a real life use for the Fibonacci sequence has thus far completely stymied me.

I shall however redouble my efforts. This puzzle must be solved!

Math is hard.

Sally Brown would agree.

members of the Barbie Liberation Front would but talking Barbies (one of their sayings was, "Math is hard!") and talking GI Joes, open them up and swap voice chips, so GI Joe would have Barbie's voices/sayings and vice versa.

They would then bring them back to the stores and mix them in with the regular stock, so that unsuspecting customers would (re)buy them.

Bought a nice pair of sandals at a yard sale yesterday. Also picked up three pairs of shoes from the repair shop. Later I have to polish my workboots, because they're looking a little beat.

I still think that the spouse actually owns more pairs of shoes than I do.

I really need to take my car in to get repair done, but have not found the time so far.

Fresh Cucumber "Pickle" Salad

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Ingredients:

5-6 small pickling cucumbers, or 1 large regular Cucumber, peeled if the skin is waxed. Ends trimmed off and sliced thin or thick as you prefer. Halve or quarter the slices if you prefer a more "relish-y" texture to your salad.

1 T. White Sugar

1 t. Salt

Scant 1/4 C. of Red or White Onion, chopped medium-fine

1/4 C. White Vinegar

1/8 C. Olive or other Vegetable Oil

1 T. Cold Water

Generous 2 T. Fresh Dill, chopped

1/4 t. ground Black Pepper

Generous Pinch of ground Cumin seed

1/2 t. Caraway Seeds

Generous Pinch of Celery Salt (optional)

Dash of Angostura Bitters (optional)


Directions:

1) Place the sliced cucumber in a large bowl and sprinkle the slices with the sugar and salt. Stir gently to coat them as evenly as possible with the sugar and salt. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

2) Add the chopped onion, plus all liquid ingredients (except the Angostura), stir gently again.

3) Add all remaining ingredients, stir gently again. Refrigerate, covered, for 1/2 hour.

4) Taste and correct seasonings as you like. (Some people find the brine a bit strong and like to dilute it with a bit more water. Some people like more salt, some more sugar. Pepper fans like to add more black pepper, or a bit of cayenne or even a shake of hot red pepper flakes. Experiment ! )

Chill again and serve. Makes about four servings. Keeps 4-6 days in the fridge.</span></span>

THE BEACH WATER HURTS MY ANKLES WHEN IT'S COLD!

(a lot)

Choir humor can be summed up simply:
Tenor makes smartass remark.
Bass laughs.
Soprano complains that they're being childish.
Alto ignores everyone.

I prefer the look of Suse to Ubuntu but Suse seems to be a resource hog which is odd. However the real problem is the RPM which takes forever to resolve dependencies during patches. Synaptic and its Debian packages wins.

There's an ice cream shortage in New Brunswick.

Humidity sucks.

^You should try the SC variety sometime if you think it's bad where you are!

*choke*

I'll gladly check out the SC humidity in February! I imagine it's all great weather and bikini clad babes around that time!

Er, not exactly.

Trying to keep them all for yourself, I bet!

It MUST be Irving's fault!

I went to the foot doc today and got prescribed anti-inflammatory meds and a mini-brace.

On the plus side, he agreed with me that the nurse practitioner the HMO insisted I go to first was... er, not the sharpest tool in the shed. (She diagnosed a problem I clearly didn't have, then wrote me a prescription for some stuff my previous GP had told me to not take, based on my medical history. Pphht. I don't think all nurses are idiots, BTW. Just this one.)

On the minus side, I'm so spaced out from the meds right now that I can barely sit upright in my chair. Oy.

A turd in the hand is worth two in the tush.

There actually is a person who goes by the nickname Pupi .

For a while I consulted over in England, and I loved picking up English idioms. One of my favorite is the phrase "I can't be arsed" basically meaning, "I can't be bothered". Though I'd love to incorporate that into my vernacular, I don't have enough panache to actually use the pronunciation "arse" so the few times I've tried to Americanize it and say, "I can't be assed," people always misunderstand and say, "You can't be asked to do what?"
