His reading of the lines is up on Youtube as one of the worst things ever. And his volatile relationship with Tatum made the news several times. But Paper Moon is good as is Nickelodeon. And he was in A Bridge Too Far and did a good job in that. His relationship with Farrah Fawcett was also one of things that people will remember about him rather than his acting work.

Pariah Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Lady P introduced me to What's Up, Doc?, the screwball comedy in which he started with Barbara Streisand (with Madeline Khan as her foil). It's one of my favorite comedies, and he's the perfect straight man for all the shenanigans that happen around him. This exchange from the end of the film is classic: Judy: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Howard: "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Cygnia Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 https://www.clevescene.com/news/a-cleveland-musical-mystery-who-sang-this-80s-song-43318763 Quote "Got no oil in my burning lamp / fire's out, logs are damp / What's this man to do while you're away." That's how the song begins, but not much else is known: There's a lead singer, back-up singers, a three-piece blues band and a harmonica player. And that's about it. It was recorded on November 1, 1982 off of Cleveland's 105.7 FM, which at the time was playing adult contemporary under the Majic Radio moniker from its offices on West 9th St. But what band is it? That's a question that has stumped listeners who've discovered the mystery blues song after it was posted on YouTube by the user who taped the song off the radio, who had the same question. (And others on Reddit, where it was recently posted as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Pythagorean Theorem Found On Clay Tablet 1,000 Years Older Than Pythagoras Quote Study math for long enough and you will likely have cursed Pythagoras's name, or said "praise be to Pythagoras" if you're a bit of a fan of triangles. But while Pythagoras was an important historical figure in the development of mathematics, he did not figure out the equation most associated with him (a2 + b2 = c2). In fact, there is an ancient Babylonian tablet (by the catchy name of IM 67118) that uses the Pythagorean theorem to solve the length of a diagonal inside a rectangle. The tablet, likely used for teaching, dates from 1770 BCE – centuries before Pythagoras was born in around 570 BCE. Another tablet from around 1800–1600 BCE has a square with labeled triangles inside. Translating the markings from base 60 – the counting system used by ancient Babylonians – showed that these ancient mathematicians were aware of the Pythagorean theorem (not called that, of course) as well as other advanced mathematical concepts. "The conclusion is inescapable. The Babylonians knew the relation between the length of the diagonal of a square and its side: d=square root of 2," mathematician Bruce Ratner writes in a paper on the topic. "This was probably the first number known to be irrational. However, this in turn means that they were familiar with the Pythagorean Theorem – or, at the very least, with its special case for the diagonal of a square (d2 = a2 + a2 = 2a2) – more than a thousand years before the great sage for whom it was named." So why did this get attributed to Pythagoras? No original writing from Pythagoras survives. What we know of him was passed on by others, in particular the Pythagoreans – members of a school he set up in what is now modern-day southern Italy. The school, named the Semicircle of Pythagoras, was secretive, but knowledge learned there or discovered was passed on, and often attributed to the man himself. tkdguy and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
