        Closer to the zero you are from 0 to 1 the more circular orbit you have around something. Earth's orbit around the sun is almost circle.

        You just made me do math. And now my requisite nap has turned into a hibernation. See you all in September.

        In that case feed yourself enough calories. Bear during hibernation still uses about 400 cal/day with 1 breath per min w/ 8 to 10 beats/min.

        I was on the baseball team called the Eccentrics. We made it to the semi-major league.

        Jesus once said "Heaven is like 3x^2 + 8x - 9“, his disciples looked puzzled, then Peter said: "Don't worry, it's just one of his parabolas"

        Well, given all you hear from his podium is "I, I, I" - I figured we know he's irrational.
