I just finished a glass of cranapple juice and now am feeling a bit peckish.
Damned if I know; drinking blended juices like Sunny D or V-8 has never made me especially hungry. Anyone else?
Anyone know why I feel hungry after drinking blended juices?
We had a long thread to discussWhat’s for Dinner, but it faded away months ago.
Why are we talking about food in this thread? Didn’t we have another thread for that?
I thought we were talking about fractions and enlightenment; though I admit I don’t really understand the connection.
Now, that’s a coincidence… that’s literally my favorite dish.
For my birthday a few weeks back I had cheese tortellini with pesto - yum!
Well, I think it’s obvious we’re not going to talk about movies again any time soon. So please, tell us what you had for your birthday… three weeks ago.
If anyone still cares, this is the fourth film version. The first was a silent movie in 1922, then a sound version in 1936, the a big-budget color version in 1959.
But that has nothing to do with either food or math, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
Did anyone see the latest remake of Blawnox Against the World? I thought it was pretty good, although Orson Bean makes any movie at least watchable.
Are Mr. Bean and Orson Bean related? There was a good movie with Orson Bean in it, can’t think of rhe title
I think Orson Bean is my favorite actor; he’s been in so many Oscar-winning movies, too many to count.
Speaking of Newton, I think that I will always see Newton as Orson Bean when he played him in the biopic. Bean had an amazing presence.
So wierd that this thread seems to be devolving into a bunch of unrelated non sequiturs, but I remember having them as a kid. it has been a long time since I’ve had a fig Newton though.
Fig Newtons were not named after the renowned physicist, but after Newton, Massachusetts, near the home of Kennedy Biscuit Works (forerunner to Nabisco).
I could not disagree more.
Isaac Newton would be so ashamed. Imagine having your name linked to an abomination fruit. You can talk about “everday science” all you want but this is disgusting.
It’s not just fig - Nabisco makes ‘em with apple-cinnamon, raspberries, and strawberry fillings. Ol’ Isaac would be proud…if you could make him quit obsessing about the dimensions of Solomon’s Temple long enough to tell him.
Wrong, wrong, wrong! Leibniz invented calculus! Newton invented cookies! Although it remains a mystery where he got figs in 17th century England.
Apropos of nothing, I was recently reading *Of Tasty Treats and Higher Mathematics *by Prof. Thaddeus Phartuccio, and came across a reference to Leibniz’s ginger cookies, which were apparently quite popular among the University of Stuttgart’s mathematics faculty. By contrast, Isaac Newton, who as everyone knows invented calculus, was a health nut, never baked and ate nothing sweeter than dried raisins.
I actually think that’s Tim Burton’s best work, despite all the flaws.
