....did you write this?!
I thought it was only me with way too much time on my hands.....

I write entries on anything vaguely mathsy 
Not too much time, just a passion for the subject
Fairy snuff....

I once got my cube root of pi confused with my quadrilateral equations - bloody painful, let me tell you!
Chaffed for weeks and my logarithmic patterns have never quite been the same

*winces*
Ouch
Did they operate?
Fairy snuff....
Livzy Posted Nov 23, 2000
Couldn't!
The damage was far too close to my hypotenuse to risk permanent disability.

Joe aka Arnia, Muse, Keeper, MathEd, Guru and Zen Cook (business is booming) Posted Nov 23, 2000
They generally use a tangent if they want to avoid the hypotenuse. Didn't you ask?
Fairy snuff....

As soon as they started messing about with my linear bisection and obtuse angles - I panicked!
Then they started trying to plot my mid-point on the "y" axis!
Terrifying!!!

I've heard terrible tales about how they bodge the parametrication of people's curves and they end up with discontinuities and twists through the imaginary operator.
Worse than that...

I know a guy whose internal angles were actually bisected! All he went in for was to have his similtaneous equations checked, his algorithms calculated and his co-efficients recalibrated!
Comes out half the man he was with his radius fractioned and his square rooted!
Worse than that...

You can get tablets for fractioned radii these days; its not so painful...
Worse than that...

I heard that one hospital went and converted this poor guy's trig into an identity. All he had wanted was a factorisation!
But what about..
Livzy Posted Nov 27, 2000
...a re-triangulated cosign?
Makes yer eyes water, and no mistake!
But what about..

He couldn't reciprocate his functions for a month.
