L. Marcus Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 And we have now moved -- a couple of km down the road. The landlord (the municipally-owned public housing corp.) is taking six months to fix our apartment up. Meanwhile, we now have a riverside view from a big balcony facing south. Summer breakfasts will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Mad professors are pretty interesting, as a rule. In a viewed-from-a-safe-distance sort of way, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Mad math professors are just dull and boring -- I prefer physicists, or geneticists. Big booms and enhanced henchmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well, it's the mathematicians who transform everything to Hilbert space, isolate the essential singularity, and reduce all reality to a graph of minimal complexity with aperiodic boundary conditions.

Cancer Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I am pretty sure the people upstairs don't do that. (The Math Department is the next floor up from us.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Perhaps "second-tier" is a better term than "defective". They can still do things to you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
