I can only wonder if you have any poetry in your souls.Yes, it helps to know that Grothendieck was a big-deal mathematician ("considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th century").But what, did you think that "No Country For Old Men" was going to be about geriatrics without passports?When people quote Hartley's "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there", do you go looking for "Yesterday" in an atlas?Closer to home, after I read Yegge's Execution In The Kingdom Of Nouns I tried to book a vacation there, but the travel agent made fun of me. parent jholman 9 years ago
Yes, it helps to know that Grothendieck was a big-deal mathematician ("considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th century").
But what, did you think that "No Country For Old Men" was going to be about geriatrics without passports?
When people quote Hartley's "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there", do you go looking for "Yesterday" in an atlas?
Closer to home, after I read Yegge's Execution In The Kingdom Of Nouns I tried to book a vacation there, but the travel agent made fun of me.
