          **912**   The sum of a square and a cube   = 20[sup]2[/sup] + 8[sup]3[/sup]   = 400 + 512 and **BigDaiv** I mentioned the #41 posting to a moderator and it didn’t seem to phase him at all. He said it doesn’t violate SDMB rules even though it is 1) off-topic 2) inane and 3) out of sequence. Well, according to that “logic”, maybe I could go into a Roe vs Wade thread and post the 1:30 pm traffic report on March 23, 1952 for downtown Wichita. Basically that does NOT violate the rules because it is not offensive, insulting or illegal. **Wanna bet I get in trouble for what I just posted? HARUMPHHHH !!!** ---
