Nothing too profound

flexagonHee hee. Dinner with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis was fun, not least because it's been a while since I've had a longish conversation with someone on the other side of the subway train tracks as we both waited to go home. (Annoying to others? Oh, slightly, I'm sure, but I've been around people making much more noise in T stops with no cross-track convo required. Every now and then it must be my turn). Then I went to the gym and got reasonably pumped up, considering the time of day... even busted a move from blue's description of her crazy workout. :)
And I also broke my nail and put a scratch down my face with it. Smooth move. I look like I was in a catfight.
The sourdough starter in my oven may be close to ready. It's 4.5 days old now, and that aroma just might be the "good sour smell" the cookbook's talking about. I remain a bit afraid of it. Every day it looks different. Is there something vaguely repellent about all very small simple life forms in the aggregate? I can almost hear their yeasty little voices singing the rat song from Coraline.
We are small but we are many
We are many we are small
We were here before you rose
We will be here when you fall.
Oddly, I'm interviewing someone at Politic Frog today... someone who won't even be in my group. I am supposed to find brainteasers for him and see if he can reason things out. I'm gonna ask about the singleton pattern (a puzzle if you don't know the answer) and about the 1000 lockers in the elementary school if I don't get any better ideas before 2:30 today.

Date: 2005-01-28 05:01 am (UTC)Q: Why are manhole covers round?
The answer is basically if they were square, they'd have a chance of falling in diagonally. The larger round manhole lid cannot fall into the smaller manhole hole.
