Equinoxe Appreciation Thread

Fairly. I'm a recovering mathaholic. I've been dry for 24 years now, but it's still a battle every day not to do division in my head.

I'm sorry; mathematics is so bourgeois.
 
i only replied to this thread once? ... i suck ... long threads scare me though

All these statistics make me hawt.

Many women have suggested that you are. Sir KnighT.

Which astounds me, but nevertheless.... carry on tilting! :D

Perhaps not, but I certainly have the option of going down in a spectacular manner.

You know, I've heard that about you.

I'm a big fan of Miss E

That's all right, I appreciated the one response greatly.

Mathematics is pure, the highest art.

You know what today is? Today is the anniversary of the ascension to the thrones of England and Ireland of William III and Mary II as the result of the so-called 'Glorious Revolution' (neither glorious, nor a revolution). Therefore, today is to be a day of mourning and there shall be no bloodshed on my account. Your insults towards all that is good and holy shall be given leave for the day.

If you were to look closely at my Mule for about 7 hours, the mathematics of the piece would become clear to you.

This is also the anniversary of the desecration of the Tomb of King Tutankhamun, for this reason I shall take no further offense.

No, they wouldn't, I'm not that well-versed in mathematics. One may construct an image mathematically (in fact, earlier today I was reading about optics and linear perspective), but one need not construct an image mathematically.

Pardon? I do believe you are several days ahead of yourself.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /when/2/13 on this server.


I believe it was the 16th.

funny, that is a public server. oh well, they say "on the 13th the tomb was opened" Other sites say they entered the burial chamber on the 17th. others say the 16th.

I cannot verify any of these dates, as different pages have each.

It does seem to be filled with contradictory information, but I imagine a lot of that has to do with "Official" openings and the actual work and things of that nature.

I therefore direct you to the works of Master Escher (of whom I am sure you are aware) who seems to suggest that such works virtually create themselves.

Are we to have a cure as well?
I love a good curse.

I thought you deserved a little appreciation on Valentine's Day.


Before Equinoxe can do it:

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

(Oh, yeah. I stole this from history channel)
 
Equinoxe,

I give you Renoir, and wish you a happy Valentine's day.

Why Renoir? Because for some reason you always make me think of Irene Cahan D'Anvers. No idea why this should be so.

But another piece that I've always liked is Young Girl with Daisies, because of it's internal contrasts between innocence and sexuality.

I hope you enjoy.
