Octopi is not the plural of octopus. Octopus is Greek and octopi is Latin.
Octopuses is the the proper plural form of octopus. |

Two obscure facts:
# is called an octotroph.
n# is the product of all the primes up to n (including n if n is prime).
Example:
10#=2x3x5x7=210 |

But I find complex analysis and the differential forms approach to multivariable calculus particulary beautiful. There is an excellent lecture course by Theodore Shifrin covering multivariable calculus and dif... |

| I was diagnosed with OCD. I believe I still suffer from OCD, but I am certainly in regression. I think I've had OCD since I was 6 years old. I can remember myself thinking that if I don't do something a certain way then something good won't happen. Like, if I don't run up the stairs without breathin... |

If you want to compile it with Python 2, you should do the following: person = raw_input ('Enter your name: ') print 'I hate the name', person This fixed it, thank you. |
