Sometimes the simplest solutions are right in front of you

See, studying pure math isn't as hard as people think it is. When you come up against a question you can't solve, just make up the answer.

Basically, some guy invented a number (which he calls 'nullity') to represent what happens when you divide by zero.

First, if you're going to invent a number at least give it a cool name.

Second, I'm no math genius, but I fail to see how this is beneficial. He hasn't solved anything that I can see. All he's done is given a centuries-old problem a new name.

Of course, I haven't looked at the research, so I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

But this guy has inspired me to invent my own number: Giggity!

From now on, this number represents all numbers, to an infinite level of precision. That's right, all numbers from +infinity to -infinity are represented in this single, handy, easy-to-use number. Don't know the answer to a problem? It doesn't matter anymore. Just use Giggity and you'll be fine. Since it represents all numbers, you can't be wrong!

How long will your trip to Spain take? Giggity hours.

How far is it from Moscow to Anchorage? Giggity kilometers.

6+4? Giggity.

Speed of light? Giggity m/s^2.

In a first year physics lab I managed to prove that gravity pushed things up at 14 m/s^2 (seriously). My lab instructor wouldn't believe my math, and there was no way my math could have been wrong (I got a D- for crying out loud, how could I have been wrong?). Had I used Giggity he would have had to believe me.

Giggity!

Incubus: Light Grenades

I just finished listening to the new Incubus album Light Grenades, and was thinking of giving an opinion on each track. Then I had a brainstorm that all the former Purple Raiders can relate to:

Oh veg chart, how I've missed you. :)

As for the album, I was a little underwhelmed, but that's normal for me with Incubus albums. In a month I'll be listening to it non stop.
