As an example... if I ask a math teacher, "Is 5 squared equal to 11?", he's not offended... but by all rights he should be, for several reasons

1. it's blantently false
2. it was uttered to someone that knows it is false
3. if it was asked by the math teacher to other math teachers, it would be almost laughable
4. it demonstrates that the person asking it is ignorant about basic mathematics
5. the math teacher's entire career is based on knowing the right answer to the question

... and yet the math teacher is NOT offended by the question. Why??

I use a variety of sites online.

On one of them, I recently tried a bit of an expiriment.

I've always hidden my friends list, on my page. Therefore, no one has ever actually known how many friends I have.

But, for one week, I set my friends list and friend count back to display.

Normally, I get approximately 100 to 150 pages of messages per day. But in the week that I put my friends on display, I received approximately 180 to 230 pages.

I don't think it's a coincidence; I think the two correspond. But I'm curious: Why would being able to see how many friends I have, make someone more eager to get to know me?

Shouldn't they be more concerned with ME, than with my friends?

This problem is kinda difficult, I haven't got a proof so far:

Let P be a polynomial of degree n, with real coefficients, such that P(x) is in [-1, 1] for every x in [-1, 1]. Show that P'(x) is in [-n^2 , n^2] for every x in [-1, 1].

I think the solution has something to do with Chebyshev's polynomials.

I don't know all that much about him. But I hear he breaks into your house and does whatever he wants. I am not very strong and I don't think my servants are very strong. At least not Anthony. I am afraid of a man climbing down into my fireplace and yelling something wierd like Ho Ho Ho.

when they hear news about (the supposedly Christian) George Bush's military buildup/spending, his creation of Iraq's Civil War, and his intentions to start a war with Iran?

Where are all the religious leaders who supported him? Do they not stand for peace with Jesus?

I'd have to have 1-Sonny or Jason, and then 2-Carly . Without Sonny/Jason/Carly, GH is dead. They'd have to bring back the Manny Ruiz storyline or the Cassadines.

There are so many oppourtunities these days to pick an "us" and a "them": libs, cons, Reps, Dems, gays, women who want abortions, illegals, Christians, neocons, Muslims...etc., etc.. I know being in (or against) one or more of these groups can help give us a sense of identity, belonging and serving a greater purpose, but are we really getting any closer to "defeating" any of these groups or are we just finding other people to blame for our problems? What would we do without "them"? I beleive it was Jung who said "What we resist persists.". Do you think the wars on poverty, drugs and terror have made those social woes better, worse or kept them the same? Or do those wars serve to absolutely ensure that those problems always remain with us?

I like unique names that come from old books but sound like they could still work today. (Some of them remind me a lot of really popular names -- for example, the popular name Aidan comes from the same Old English book that my first three boys' names do -- but these ones are not as overused.) Here are some of my favorites. Please tell me what you think:

Boys:
Caedmon -- the first English poet
Caelin (CAL-in) -- Anglo-Saxon name
Alban -- Anglo-Saxon name
Hadrian -- Roman emperor; built a wall in England
Ashley -- from Gone With the Wind
Lysander -- from Shakespeare
Troilus -- from Shakespeare and Chaucer
Gareth -- knight in Arthurian legends
Gawain (GOW-in) --knight in Middle English poem

Girls:
Una -- heroine in Spenser's Faerie Queen (means "one truth")
Moira -- Wendy's middle name in Peter Pan
Bonnie -- Scottish word for "pretty"
Isolde -- lady in Arthurian legends
Lily -- from famous poem by Goethe
Lucy -- used in many Wordsworth poems
Ophelia -- heroine from Hamlet

If there is such a person as a Catholic Witch, how do they fit the Catholic religion into Witchcraft? How do they follow the rules of the Catholic church? How do they deal with knowing that the pope doesn't agree with witchcraft?

i heard this song on the radio the other night. I liked it, but forget what the name was, and even most of the lyrics. It went like " Everybody.......................... Dont really want to fall in (love?) or something along those lines. Like i said it was a rock-like song. It was not Danko Jones or Greenday. Apparently i do not know the lyrics good enough because it did not show up on google. Also, there was a part in middle of the song where there were no instrumentals, only vocals. Any help whatsoever would be great. Thanx
