    As soon as they get their half they have to perform a circumcision on Florida but it goes horribly awry and the whole thing has to go

    "Poetry is gay," high fives, laughter, then we go down to the beer hall, pull some straight lines up to a point and drink deeply from our planes.

    A man wearing this hat comes up to you just to say "Poetry is gay" wyd

    Far as I know viruses don't utilize the dodecahedron (icosahedron, yes) but some radiolarians do as in these drawings of Ernst Häckel

    Pretty disappointed we won't even be getting an icosahedral plague and will be getting screwed with this helix instead

    Got the screencaps from They theorize that it's culturally inherited from the way writing is taught but note that this theory doesn't seem to account for everything. Interesting to note the disgust response from one Japanese interviewee.

    It is whispered that mind-body duality is actually a theorem in Euclidean geometry that Descartes rigorously derived from this diagram but nobody has rediscovered the proof.

    Dunno, but there would be less if it were up to Robert Lee Moore (note one testimonial calls him Robert E. Lee Moore, can't find any documentation confirming or disconfirming the E.).

    This is how black combinatorial topologists see themselves, probably some HBD happening here. You will never see Asian combinatorial topologists with a self-image this confident.

    Vast underground railroad type operation being run by mathematics departments across the United States for sheltering the dissident right. Few know this. Fewer still who qualify for our protective services. I hope you know how to integrate sec^3(x) when the time comes, anon.

    Three eminent scholars could write a whole scholarly text celebrating Inequality less than 100 years ago, would be cancelled now. What happened?
