People have said that to me, but I dislike being categorized that way. I just really love math, and think it can be really fun if you get into it.

I'm a math graduate student, so some semesters I have to TA for courses to get supported. This semester I'm TAing for precalculus. In the past I've TA'd for first semester calculus and multivaria...

Wow. He was mean. I don't think I've ever laughed at one of my students in front of them.

Doesn't everyone?

I think seeing that would be more disturbing to me than touching any inanimate object you could name.

It depends. How much do you care about actually passing these courses? Because if you care at all then it's probably a really bad idea to do that. I know I would never take any final (even a mat...

Wait a minute. You get grossed out handling raw chicken, yet you want to see a picture of a woman being eaten by a snake?!?

You said yourself that you shouldn't read this thread if you don't want the ending to be spoiled.

He dies 120 years after the end of ROTK on his 210th birthday.

The Silmarillion was awesome. I really need to reread it sometime.

You might want to try making something like a stew. That should be fairly easy. If you weren't so averse to touching raw meat I'd suggest you try to make spaghetti and meatballs since that's fair...

L's definitely do help make a name sound more feminine. In fact, my favorite girl's name has an l in it. But "Lindsay" (as well as the other names I mentioned) sounds more tomboyish than feminine...

Wait a minute. Who are you calling a meanie?

You guys are taking up all the good ones! Well, some of these might sound repetitive, but here it is: I wanna be: a drummer a violinist a better singer a swing dancer a snowboarder a wo...

To me "Lindsay" sounds very neutral, and I don't like girl's names to sound neutral. To be honest, there are very few girl's names that I actually like, and almost all of those that I do like end ...

I know. I don't know what my dad would've said if I had asked to go to a rock concert when I was younger. (Actually, I think I have a pretty good idea of what he'd say...)

Really? It sounds a little unusual to me because I'm so used to Lindsay being a girl's name, but, frankly, I think it sounds better as a guy's name.

Personally, no. (Actually, I think I've only met two people with that name, and one of them spells it Lyndsi.) But a quick search on the internet turned up <a href="http://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/Peopl...

Yup. A lot of those English/Irish names that end in y are unisex. Shirley, Courtney, Lindsay, Terry, etc...

Hahaha. I love my last name. It's so fun to try and get people who've heard it pronounced to spell it properly, or people who've seen it spelled to pronounce it properly. It seems like no one ca...

Did anyone else notice that this site also has information on frequency of first names? Apparently, my first name, Daniel, is the 12th most popular male first name in the United States; frequency ...

Should I admit that I think I had a crush on a girl when I was like 4? Her name was Christina Carney and she was maybe a year older than me. They moved out of our congregation to New Hampshire wh...

You trying to say you can't dance to anything but rap?

That show was awesome. I was a little freaked out by how closely the pilot matched what happened a year later though...

Wait a minute. Wouldn't that make you less special?
