Math isn't that hard, or so they say.  Here's a test of how easy math is for you.  If I said, X = 20-3^2*2 what is the answer?  The correct answer is to do exponentiation first, multiplication/division second, and then addition/subtraction last.  So X = 20 - 9 *2 = 20 - 18 = 2.  If you don't believe it, type the formula into excel and see what answer it spits out.  Trust me, it's two.

Ok, now let's talk about weird math.  If I said something is infinite, there's not a bigger number or set now is there?  Well, the answer to that isn't simple either.  Take the positive integers, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.  Obviously that set contains an infinite number of numbers.  Now take all of the numbers between and including 0 to 1.  That's an infinite number too.  Is one of them bigger?  The answer is, believe it or not, drum roll please, YES.  The way to prove it is to do a one to one comparison.  Take 0 and 1 as they are.  Then invert 2 to 1/2, 3 to 1/3, 4 to 1/4.  If you fill in the inverted numbers between 0 and 1, you'll realize that the inversion of the positive integers doesn't fill up all of that space.  So the numbers between zero to one are a bigger infinity.  There turns out to be orders of infinity.  So if you really hate someone tell them that you hate them to the infinity of the infinite order (3 is considered tops right now, but it may be due to our limited 3D view of things).  They won't be able to top that number.

If that blows your mind, think about the square route of negative one.  It's often called "i" or "j".  The number really doesn't have any meaning other than solving X^2 + 1 = 0.  The strange thing is mathematicians use these numbers especially when periodic data is employed or when a problem can be transformed into complex space, solved, and then transformed back.  So even a number that can't possibly exist can be used to solve complex equations. 

Any thought that mathematics is logical now seems a little warped, doesn't it?

During my travels, I've encountered four immutable laws that resemble titles on the Big Bang Theory.  Those four laws are:

Fleming's Axiom --- There will be a Waffle House at every major southeastern interstate exit in the US.  If there isn't a Waffle house; it's not a major exit.  In the North this Axiom transforms into, every major northern interstate exit will have the menu option of Waffles.

"Honey, I'm hungry."  A wife states to her husband as their driving on the interstate.

"There's an exit coming up ahead?"

"Do they have waffles?"

"No."

"Keep driving until we reach civilization."

Alexander's Axiom --- Every plant has their own Lenny. 

Lenny is the guy that does strange things that everyone else talks about.  Take for example the story of the man who masturbated on a scoffing machine, detached his scrotum, and stapled it back with a staple gun.  Yep, that was that plant's Lenny.

Currier's Corollary --- Product development is a lot like evolution.

At first a new product has no form, but there is much excitement of what it will be, and the margins look great.  Then if things turn our right, the product will take shape, swim, get legs, and eventually walk out onto the beach.  When Mr. Currier was asked where he would be in this process, he stated he would be at the beach.

Kaufman's Corollary --- Every good meeting generates its own list.

"Are we having a meeting today?"

"Yes, I brought coffee and donuts, " says the moderator.

"What are we going to talk about?"

"I thought we would brainstorm about life."

"But donuts are fattening and the coffee isn't decaffeinated.  I'm afraid I can't make this meeting."

The same conversation with a good meeting.

"Are we having a meeting today?"

"Yes, I bought decaf and regular coffee along with bagels, low fat cream cheese, cream cheese, and fruit.  We're going to go over my agenda and cover each topic and assign action points."

"That sounds delicious, and you sound prepared.  Yes, I will go to your meeting."

I'm sure you've all heard that the pen is mightier than the sword, but what are we doing with the pen?  We're writing down WORDS on either paper or on a computer file.  Now watch this.  If you rearrange the word SWORD you get WORDS.  Is this a coincidence?  I think not.  Take another example.  The word TEAM.  If you have a good TEAM, that's great, but if you don't, the word TEAM can transform into MEAT.  Did the ancient language linguists do this on purpose.  I'm betting that they are laughing their asses off right now.
