ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 22nd May 2001 
So far off on a tangent, she doesn't even hit the circle...

What's the time, Mr. Wolf?

Hello there! Welcome to the slightly twisted brain-wrongs of a one-woman mind-mental1.

Recommended album of the moment...

OK - not an album per se, but the James Taylor Quartet, who I've seen live, and I have to say, are bleep ing excellent - they give good live music, and James Taylor; the man with the Hammond Organ... so with an Austin Powers-style voice - Yeah Baby! Shagadelic!mod

...and track...

Well, not a track as such... I'm not Dave Gorman - but these guys areweird Confused? Well, click here for an explanation of sorts...

... oh - and do you like to dance? Cosmic!

Minor details about my past and present

For the past three years I have had the pleasure of living in one of the most expensive capital cities on Earth, that being London. Being a student, and hence suffering from terminal debt, it makes life that much more interesting.

I'm not just any student though, I am the most hated of all the types of students-the medical kind.doctor

I just hope you can see through this short white coated exterior and don't hold that against me.

Why the tangent?

Well, that is just a habit of mine to enter a conversation and rapidly move off-topic for some strange yet well-founded (at the time, and of course, for reasons that I don't even know myself) reason. Just to give you a taster, for instance, the topic may be on, say, cartoons2, and somehow I'll say something about how orange is a nice warm colour, and also a fruit high in vitamin C.

How come a circle is involved? Well, it was a remark made by someone who knew a lot more maths than me. Which admittedly isn't hard. The reasoning is this - if the conversation is a circle, and going off at a tangent is going off-topic, then I'm in my own private party some way off the paper.

42: Myth of

Well, I just had to, y'know? After much mathematical wrangling, I still couldn't work it out...so thanks to Rupert the Observer and Argon0 for doing the hard work for me! Much appreciated smiley

1x7x3x(9+7)/8=42

Or:

17x3-9x(-7+8)=42

On the subject of 42, here's something I thought up whilst walking to the bus-stop one day.

Various Titles Which are Far Too Long To Put After My Name...

Well - I'm off for a 'rehearsal' that my supervisor has arranged, because he's a nice person like that. Others, unfortunately, are not so lucky, as their supervisors are nasty people.

Meh, gah, and the rest.
