what was the episode where Alton shoved in the wood skewer (or bamboo or whatever) to keep the water in the smooth glass container from superheating while it was in the microwave?

My memory, she is no more. That and she totally hates it when I anthropomorphize her.

I need Kenshin and Yoda to have deep, meaningful conversations. and then I should spend a couple brain cycles to compare/contrast their conversation styles with reverse polish notation.

wanna hear something stupid? My first state-wide math competition (7th or 8th grade, i forget) – Ashley Reiter’s got a great calculator (I forget if we sat together at lunch or what) and she explains to me, for the first time in my life, reverse polish notation. I feel in love with it immediately. It made infinitely more sense to me. A few years later I think it was Matt Welsh who first explained stacks to me. I need to send him an email – he taught me enough AIX over email so I got and kept my first sysadmin job (RS/6000′s) @ ncsu.
