Hate to change the subject and return to the topic when we've divided fonzie by infinity and gotten zero flying pigs, but I think it's an aspie interest when it never occurs to you that the person you're talking to isn't the least bit interested.

So if you multiply a flying pig by infinity then divide by zero you get The Fonz? That explains a lot.

Dividing a real number by zero equals infinity.


Sorry if this was a joke and I didn't get it, but is that true? Can't decide whether or not it's a joke.
Although if 5/0=infinity then infinity times zero equals 5, so I'm guessing it's a joke.

Well the result is not infinity its more like "Dividing by zero creates a result impossible for the human mind to comprehend. It can only be meaningfully expressed as an infinitely long recursive equation". Or something like that.. fuzzy memory.

Oh, okay then.

Back to the topic, sometimes I start researching something on the internet until I'm "done" with it (as far as my curiosity's concerned). Like the other day I started to read all the articles on Wikipedia about humor. Is that an aspie thing? Collecting info?

Chuck Norris CAN divide by zero.



Oh, and the secret number to the universe is actually 36.50. The government of Sweden put in the other numbers to throw us all off.
