Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

Am I the only one other than NC, who actually likes math?

I like some math, depends on what I'm solving for. Most of the time (High School not college) Physics was fun, but in Calculus it was frustrating. I prefer Science, some Physics, Astronomy, English and the Arts.

I should do as Sun suggests and complain to the source, but I get a feeling that they've committed to this shiny new format and aren't going to change it, no matter what the old time subscribers want.

I had to chuckle when I read this line because it made me think of exactly how things are going with Stargate SG1 - ironic isn't it. (Change for the sake of change is never a good thing IMO and that is TV Guide and Stragate to a T).

ooops Sally beat me to it - but I had the same thought and we all know what they say about minds that think alike . . .

lol, I do too

Yay, a couple more true believers! All together now - Math is good, the Ori are evil.

I'm sure Sam would jump in on that with you.

Found a nice read just then, Imperfections, by Moonshayde. It's a Sam/Daniel friendship/pre-ship (take your pick), 'While attending a function with former colleagues, Sam is forced to face some of the doubts that have been weighing down on her subconscious.'

Oh, and a little Sam/Teal'c drabble by the same Author Of Fire

HEY! Don't knock my chosen field! Say it out loud now, the Ori are evil, Math is good!

Not knocking your chosen field, just a teeny, tiny portion of it. Just be glad that I can balance my checkbook.

Actually, the Ori are hollow and math is evil.

[SunKrux]

aah, her true nature comes out at last

shhhhh, you promised not to tell.

[SunKrux]

Not giggling at you my dear... "giggles" is somebody's GW name...

Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up. I was beginning to think you were out to get me.

[SunKrux]

Without question, Smeagol.

We lovessssssss OOOOoooobersssss we do.

[SunKrux]

Ahh, grasshopper, infinity is only a concept, and not to be comprehended in mere numerical terms. Just think of it as Oma-speak and realize that you'll never really understand it, you just have to accept that it's there.

*goes to her warm and happy place

Make it stop. Make it stop. Math hurtssss us. It burnsssss us it doesssss.

[SunKrux]

Good point, but shall we discuss Gabriel's Horn, a figure which appears to be infinite, has an infinite surface area, but has a finite volume? As I tell my students, strange things happen at infinity.

This conversation reminds me of a quote from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass", when the White Queen tells Alice she needs to practice believing impossible things. "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

*runs away screaming....

AAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHH

Make it stop...please.

[SunKrux]

(stuffs Lys into box with infinity)

We likessssss you, we do.

[Tracy Jane]

We lovessssssss OOOOoooobersssss we do.

Doesn't everyone.

Hallowed are the....errr....Ooober.

[SunKrux]

Never! I will not conform. Math is the devil... The devil...

(That's right, I'm totally bad at math and I'm blaming the subject, itself, for my own ineptitudes. )

Give me words any day!

We lovessssssss you to.
