Scott and GameRanger II

[Grifter]

Loud, I first learned them (and the names of the proofs) in High School. ?They were also repeated in logic and philosophy classes (Western Michigan University and University of Michigan). ?BTW, my wife teaches the proper names in her Geometry class still (she doesn't test on it, but uses the terms). ?What is the educational system coming to these days. ?Tell me you still call it Avagadro's number... and they tell you who he was.... or that you learned all about the Pathagoreans (sp?) as a cult... ?at least tell me you all learned how to make a 3 rail bank shot from watching Donald Duck in Math Magic Land. ?For the love of God, what do they teach anymore?!

The reason we learned them is... since you know you can use other proofs inside a big proof... once you get down to the little things, you could use shorthand and just say "modus tolens" instead of writing it all out (since modus tolens was already proven). ?

In the Logic class, we did have to memorize them.

BTW, since the point was missed, it's not that I thought Bondo wouldn't recognize the names... it was the arguments themselves that I didn't think he'd recognize.

How's 8/48 hours of sleep feeling? ;-)

Asterax... you say that like you'd expect more then 4 hours a night??

Ah, you guys actually sleep more then 4 hours a night...  now I understand why people may think I don't do anything but RS or here... they actually spend their valuable time sleeping... silly me.  

Honestly... if I get more then 5 hours, I can't function.  4.5 a night does me great. In bed by 1am, at work by 6am.  About once every two weeks.. get a nice 10 hour power sleep to recharge the batteries... and it's all good.

i still call it avagrados number(actually most of the time i say 6.022X10^23)
Avogadro was a scientistin the ?16 to 17th century famous for avagrados law, in other words, equal volums of gasses under equal perssure and pressure will contain an equal number of molicules(yes, i did that from memory, feel free to make any comments about my non existant life)
yes, i knew the pathogreans were a cult, and if memory serves, they were obsessed with the golden mean and it's relationship to the world they lived in
wasn't the parthenon built to to that ratio?
and yes, thet movie is where i first saw the 3 rail bank shot, still cant make that shot ?for shit in real life though...

oh, let's see if i remember the logical falacies<sp>
argumentum ad hominem
post hoc ergo propter hoc
non sequiter
beg the question
circular reasioning
over simplificatation
false dillemma
false analogy
equivocation
hasty generalization
circular reasoning

let's see how many of these have been used in the past 2 days, another thing i learned from that movie is that, there is a number that high

For the love of God, what do they teach anymore?!

In HS I remember one English class where the highlights were Monty Python and Simpsons episodes, but that's about it.

[Bondo]

We watched Holy Grail in conjunction with Cantebury Tales and watched a Star Trek episode to learn building arguements.
