Not if you have watched NCIS, and Tony ragging McGee(Probably a little obscure.)

Probably confused why is he wearing an MIT shirt with a CIT mascoteven if I'm standing right beside it wearing an alumni sweatshirt.
Thanks! I will see this, seems interesting!Welcome to the group! As far as wasting time at a college, have you tried looking at the M.I.T Open Courseware? You can view videos of all the lectures at the Mas. Inst. of Tech., you know, the one up there in 'Bean Town". Check it out online https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm
Happy Trails,

3.1415926 to be more exact! (Yeah, I'm a nerd! How else do you explain this whole robot thing?) Beaver call?I'm a beaver.
You're a beaver.
We are beavers all!

IMHO "Digression" is good for the soul, nyuk nyuk!*flaps his tail*
We weren't really all that big in the popular sports - but our players played hard and we'd go cheer 'em on.
If you don't mind, I'll digress a bit further.
I sometimes miss the academic atmosphere. I did teach a bit after retiring, so I think of that instead when I am missing school.
See, I am a "Doctor of Philosophy" already - in Applied Mathematics. But, that's nothing... All sorts of people share the same title and honorary.
There's the illusive title of "Philosopher of Mathematics", which is a fascinating field. I don't know if I'm smart enough and it's purely ego-driven.
Right now, I'd not be a 'notable' person on Wikipedia. I want my name on lists like this one:
Dr. Hook sang a song about wanting to be on the cover of the Rolling Stone. I want my name on an obscure list of notable people. A list pretty much nobody will ever read.
But, that list includes people like Russell - of Principia Mathematica fame, where he and Whitehead took almost 400 pages to prove that 1 + 1 = 2. In the end, there's no real proof that it does equal two - except that it equals two because we all agree that it does. They conclude that it's largely logicism all the way down.
Though dated, Principia is still worth reading. If I were to strive for the degree and recognition, I'd probably do it in the field of infinities and number sets. I'd like to point to the absurdities, contradictions in logic, and how it's all really arbitrary. I marvel at how we all just agree to some absurd conclusions, accepting them as truth despite critical thinking.
Anyhow, I'm not sure if I'm smart enough and I'm really trying to retire. I just suck at retiring because I keep obligating my time to other people.
I was impressed with the math involved in the "Bletchley Park" project during WW2!*flaps his tail*

okay, that makes sense. the loud sound of slapping his/her tail on the water!*flaps his tail*
All in the day of a fisherman just to Pee you off!I'm pretty sure the beaver is just a dick.

Yeah, I also read about that. It was a very sad ending for someone who contributed so very much to the effort!!Mr. Alan Turing's post-war experiences.
