021 - on the apocalypse and broccoli

The number 666, also known as the beast number, oddly enough has some minor significance in mathematics, though I do not see the reason why. Any number which has 666 digits is also called an apocalyptic number. How this is particularly significant, I fail to see, however, it seems to be of interest to younger students. Perhaps they have too much

You lost me at "The number..."

I fail to see anything particularly intimidating about this post.

huh? Sorry dude, force of habit. Once I hear talk about numbers I think I instinctively start to tune out...

[intoinfinity]

The talk of numbers was limited in nature.

[kyubi_rock]

Ah dude, you sound like my high school Algebra teacher... Maybe there wasn't a WHOLE lotta numbers, but all those big words too? You some kinda teacher? Or maybe just one of those snobby types... You'd probably get along really well with Sasuke...

Perhaps you would profit from reading a dictionary. I occasionally TA for mathematics courses at the university.

[kyubi_rock]

I do read the dictionary. When I want to fall asleep. I usually have some trouble getting past aardvark though.

[intoinfinity]

Perhaps you need one with more pictures than words.

[kyubi_rock]

Do they make those? Dude, hook me up!

[intoinfinity]

They are usually found in the children's sections of the bookstore as well as the library. You might find them helpful.

[kyubi_rock]

The children's... hey! Are you making fun of me? T'ch...

[intoinfinity]

I do not make fun of people. I am being perfectly serious.

[kyubi_rock]

. . .you're weird. But I guess I'll let it slide... See if there's any good bookstores around here...

[intoinfinity]

As you wish.
