Rationalization 213, Tuesdays, 8:00 to 10:00
Today's lesson, Rationalizing For Others, Examples
Yesterday, the meanderings on this board touched briefly on Newtonian Physics. I considered offering an example, but a delicate concern for propriety caused me to desist. After thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that my view of decorum might be deemed archaic.
Furthermore, I haven't heard such theorems in many years and fear they may be lost in the dim mists of time. It's true they may still be learned (notice, I didn't say "taught") in math class, a milieu I no longer inhabit, but, in the absence of proof, I dare not risk their loss. I only know two of these theorems (although I suspect there are more), and I've successfully proven both.
Here's one:
"The angle of dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat."
If that's a violation of the terms of use, Matt, I won't resist arrest. It was written with humor aforethought.

Postscript: If my writing is so poor that I need to add those silly little smiley faces or the g-things ... not g-strings, g-things ... like (g) or (G) or (ggg) ... I'd better stop posting messages immediately. FLG
