I was just lucky enough to stumble across your profile for reasons that escape me at the moment, and I happened to see your birthday shortly before it actually happened.
By the way, that Weil conjectures stuff quite frankly terrifies me. And I took advanced calculus in college! Sure, I've forgotten most of it, but still! |

Anyway, congratulations on the thesis, Zeke, and happy birthday (and Merry Christmas, while I'm at it). |
As a special Christmas bonus, I'm going to annoy you with a piece of minutae. When I read "ditto," my mind immediately went to the Pokerap:
"Ditto, Cloyster, Caterpie, Sandshrew..." Yikes, am I a geek. |

I'm pretty sure the last one we talked about was in springtime. If so, this is indeed a different one.

"Springtime, the only pretty ringtime,
Birds sing, 'Hey, ding,' a ding a ding a Sweet lovers love the spring." ("I told you not to, silly boy.") Or something like that. ;) |

On a totally and utterly random tack, I think my dislike of the works of Phillip K. Dick is now officially irredeemable - I finished Do Androids? a few days ago and didn't like it at all. It doesn't amaze me that Blade Runner should have come out of it, though it is by far the better of the two, because as with most of Dick's work I like some of the ideas, I just can't stand the way they're presented. So there it is, the one tarnish on my gleaming armour of scientifiction nerdosity that will never go away. |

... That is to say, "Happy Birthday, Zeke!" Why start a new thread when we can reuse the old one? Like those fruitcakes people keep passing along.... |
Happy Birthday, Z. :D
|
Happy Fruitcake, Zeke.
Er... Happy Birthday, Zekecake. Dammit... Happy Zekeday, Colin. ... You get the idea. |
