    I love science and math. In particular math. If I hadn't been such a fuck up in school I would have been good at it I found out later in life. Lots of math and formulas in construction.

    I find comfort in numbers for some reason.

    Never had an issue with science and faith.

    Math doesn't lie. If you and math are having a disagreement, then you should stfu and listen to the math.

    Trust math, not people.

    When I was a youngster I wanted to be a structural engineer and build suspension bridges. The I learned maff was involved. Maff is hard so I went in a different direction. Now I am poor and block Creep on the free ways with my shitty, 12 year old SUV.

    Get off my bridge!!!!!!!!!!
    When I was about 10 walking across this bridge I missed and old gentlemen jumping off on the Marin County side by about 1 min. His sweater and cane were siting right there on the pedestrian walk way. Pretty fucked up.

    You can’t get laid by math.

    Wife runs a structural engineering firm. She had to slog through years of calculus at Cal for her degree. She says she rarely has to use calculus; most of her work is plain old algebra. Whenever she does need to use any calculus she just looks up the formulas and plugs shit in, since she doesn't remember too much about advanced maff that she almost never uses.

    One of her junior engineers left the firm ten years ago to go to South Africa and build bridges for their 2010 World Cup infrastructure build. Saved her the task of finding a way to get rid of him gently, as he was a well-meaning kid but just wasn't particularly suited to the job.

    Me thinks a lot of the hard maff and other academis in those engineering programs is just a way to weed out the dumb dumbs like myself. Alas, the world needs history major ditch diggers too.

    Sounds like he was nothing special.

    Now this I do disagree with. Putting the coffin in the Capital Rotunda doesn't sit right with me at all. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/billy-graham-to-lie-in-honor-in-capitol-rotunda/ar-BBJt9zY?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=HPCDHP

    How many other dudes have had a personal audience with 11 American presidents?

    Agree or disagree with his message, that's a pretty massive legacy at the presidential level.
