Hurray for common childhood woes! XD Although, aside from a shared interest in science fiction, I don't have much in common with Fry. I was more of a "Lisa Simpson" type (she was my role model when I was in elementary school... which explains a lot in retrospect). I was that overachieving student that so many kids seem to loathe, and I always worried that my siblings hated me for it as well, but if it was a point of conflict I never heard them mention it; they seemed to despise my nerdish nature more. I think I just embarrassed them. And that is why LotF is my favorite episode: because when I first saw it, it gave me hope. We get along nicely for the most part now, so all's well that ends well. and, yes, I apologize for being a newbie (noob) , but that is what I am. I would like to point out that I can't find anything remotely "noobish" about your post and that you probably don't need to apologize.

I'm taking notes. My brother was always competing with me to be the better one, pretty much because he wanted to be the eldest. He couldn't be that, so he became the tallest instead. Everything I did, he had to do better because, at some level, he must have thought this would make him the eldest. Kids... anyway when I got into computers, he got into them more. When I buy a car, he buys a better car. He got his driving license first, went snowboarding when I merely expressed an interest in it, joined the terries when I expressed an interest in maybe joining the RAF... Then when I got a swedish wife, he went to Paraguay... Being the eldest with a competitive younger brother. Blech.

It wasn't so much that I thought it was a number as it was me not paying attention.

B (Hex) = 11 (Dec) [*Sigh*] Allow me to say this a plainly as possible: "B" is a letter, not a number; a letter.Yes, it is used in Hexidecimal notation to represent a number. Why? - Because our decimal numeration system does not have a one symbol for "11," and:
- Standard human beings do not have sixteen fingers!

Originally posted by Bendersfan1221: NOOOOOO!!! Math is evil. Must rid world of math.... Yes and no. Math for math's sake is evil there I agree. Math for other (usually distructive) purposes is usefull. That said, I will speak no more of this math. I demand a return to something resembling relevence!
