We have ourselves a mighty force of superheros who can bring justice and resolution to all of our little issues.
Professor Half-X (always caressing his pet, Peave) sends them out on their rant-appeasing missions. Johnny Spendsalot needs extra change! Spare Change Lad, this is your job! (whooosh!) Woody Harrelson needs a new hemp T-shirt! RastaMan! To the rescue! The statues in central park are missing! Motion Detector Man! Go! (etc)-- globaltourniquet, May 23 2001 Well, I'm sure he prefers Professor > (better connotation...)-- globaltourniquet, May 24 2001 > is the left half of an X. And globaltourniquet gets the groan they deserve-- CoolerKing, May 24 2001 Yes, but V is the top half of X diagramatically, and is also half of X (Roman) numerically, thus completing the "half" concept much more elegantly!-- mwburden, May 24 2001 I just meant he prefers > to < because of the connotation (Professor Greater Than sounds better than Professor Less Than...)
...damn editable message board....
(Peter originally called him Professor <)-- globaltourniquet, May 24 2001 Besides the fact that he/she used the third person plural to indicate unknown gender in the singular, which has been summarily rejected by grammarians in the entire English speaking world.-- globaltourniquet, May 24 2001 globaltourniquet: take the > and run!-- reensure, May 24 2001 Peter had obviously changed it to V before I made my comment. Besides, I rarely do make sense! And I get fed up of writing s/he or he/she. Sod it, in future I'm going to be a male chauvinist pig and call everyone he unless it's obvious. lol-- CoolerKing, May 24 2001 ...ahem...upside down v is <lambda>...
<gamma> looks like a backwards 7
(in upper case greek only, for both of those letters)
...ahem...-- mihali, May 25 2001 ^ pet peaves - I like that.-- thumbwax, May 25 2001 ...nothing to do with XY-Man, I suppose? (yes, and XX-Woman)-- hippo, May 25 2001 hippo stole my joke. *pout..
Well..well, Pi looks like an x turned into a table! Sorry, it's the best I could do on such short notice.-- moPuddin, Jul 31 2005 random, halfbakery
