Back to Naming Things After me
 
David, you had your chance, but you opted for "Mat."

However, I'll offer a second chance. For the right amount-- and I won't tell you what the right amount is--you can name me after you. I'll change my name legally to David Sklansky. However, you only get one bid. What's your offer?

Re: Back to Naming Things After me.? for john.
 
[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] i am wondering if you ever became interested in the greeks and special ratios (1.612, fibonacci series etc.) in your readings; and wonder if you think the dimensions of the parthenon make it inherently "special" ?

I think the Parthenon would be special even without the correspondence. BTW, I went to a "Classical" high school; first year courses were Algebra, English, Ancient History, and Latin. That's it.

Aren't stuff like the ratio and the Fibonacci series nature's way and humankind's way of fitting things into the most workable form?
