Arguments under the mistletoe
My Christmas was lovely except I got in a bit of a fistfight.
My Christmas was lovely except I got in a bit of a fistfight.
I was telling some guy that Gödel's theory of the incompleteness of first-order mathematics was not the upheaval of modern logic that commentators say and he was getting all worked up about it and countered with how Turing's halting problem was just a ‘neat trick’ and had nothing to do with the development of computing and, I admit, I lost my temper and said something rude about Hegelian dialectics and he hit me in the face.
My very best wishes for all of us. Have a lovely New Year's.

Hey cheers!
Meva: Cut lip actually but thank you ever so much and no, YOU are the best. I love comments like that!
Bonnie: Which guy? The second son of the Earl of Grantchester having inherited his fortune is seeking a wife with which to share his life in his country house. I don't know. Don't make me invent stuff when I haven't had my opium.
Charlotte: You just keep learning more and more about me.
M: Indeed, look out. And don't bring up Max Planck or I just go feral!

I promise never to bring up Max Planck, unless I get drunk and name my next child Max and it turns out through a wildly improbable coincidence that my last name is actually Planck, because in those circumstances I would have no choice.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Oh no! It's a wordplay-off. Nobody would dare go head-to-head with you, INC, in such a contest!
And particularly not when you're contributing only an hour and a half into 2007! I trust we're all adult enough not to have spent today “bringing up Max Planck” after our excesses last night.
Happy New Year to you.
