I think he should have fed the iguana. Not that it matters now. But Science and Ethics are not legally divorced. .99999 of a dead iguana is still one dead iguana. So I don’t think it is a mistake to call the owner a killer. **Elendil’s Heir** ’s arguments not withstanding, a dead mathematician is also still a dead mathematician. ---

Well, the iguana’s dead, not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I told him it was a bad idea to put it on a starvation diet. ---

**atimnie** , wasn’t the whole .99999…=1 thing officially confirmed a while ago both on this board and in other places. Why are you bringing it up again? And that thread in Cafe Society where you rewrite the words to songs for no apparent reason? And it was like 3 in the morning your local time when you posted those threads? What’s up with that? ---
