Fair enough…

Must resist urge to turn this into another flirt-fest. I’ll end up with a “reputation” 🙂

Must resist urge to tempt Angua…

After all, it’d be bad if a thread devoted to examining the picures of Dopers in case they know each other and didn’t realise, or are on a wanted list, degenerated into an orgy of mutual aesthetic appreciation.

DOH, now I see what you mean about getting reputations 🙂

🙂 Heck, mutual asthetic appreciation is allowed, especially when at work, on the weekend.

As for repuations, I think[this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202988) says it all 🙂

Oh well, back to writing about best fitting models and other such fun things.

Shade and Angua -

Behave, you two. This is a community board. All that shameless mathematical flirting…what would your mother think???

A reputation - what? why? when? where? is it justified? do you have a link? 🙂

There’s an overlap: stars, best fitting models, good looking women, etc 😉

Sowwy. I’ll behave. Admittedly my mother would just smile 😛

So, what do you do at Cambridge then?

Dammit, **Angua** , here you go again, hogging all the flirting. 😛 And you’re not even single and able to do anything about it! How is this fair? ::sigh::

Just joshing ya, hon. You go, girl!

**Angua** : Do? Or study? Studying is maths, doing is more dancing, programming, flirting with people on message boards.

Galaxies? The big, beautiful things with an irrisistable attraction?

**zimmdogg** : Mathematical flirting? Just don’t mention that and we’ll all be fine. Trust me 🙂

And do you mean “mothers”? Else that’s even more disturbing

Antares: Try being quicker off the mark. And using physics/physical puns. And finding men from the same university as you. Or just very bored 😃

You didn’t see that. These aren’t the typos you’re looking for. How’re you doing? Behind you! Never mind. I give. My bad.

Yup, those, and the ones I deal with are the big monsters that have cannibalised at least a couple of other smaller ones. 🙂

Just checking. Besides, I like to define myself other than being a mathmo 🙂 I need to practice for when I go to new pastures 🙂

Eep! I’ll be good. I wouldn’t want to get sucked up and eaten.

It’s amazing the depth of innuendo in astrophysics, isn’t it? It’s as bad as punting. And no-one’s mentioned hot, flowing, magnetic, glowing, or moons yet!

Eep… Another mathmo. I seem to surround myself with them 🙂

OK next question - College? And if you say “Trinity”, all bets are off. 😃

**zimmdogg** said no flirting 🙂

Yup. I also deal with hot ballistic plasmas flowing out of black holes 🙂
