"Does peanut butter have eggs in it?" -Maria, 10/25/2004
The movie Murder By Numbers is an exceptionally bad one. I do not at all endorse seeing it. On my walk home from the (In)Discrete Maths review session, I could not help but think how much cooler it would have been if it had been about Maths that kill you. This was before The Ring, so they could totally have done a 'you see this combinatorial proof, you have the sum from i equals zero to n of n choose i hours to live' sort of thing. Of course, it came long after Pi, so I'd have to go along a different track than that, but hopefully be just as cool. Or maybe it'd even work as a mathematical slasher flick. There's so much you could do with this!
Come to think of it, movies about maths are always pretty creepy. Donald Duck in Math Land, anyone? *shudder* I can't even think of billiards without being reminded of that movie. And then Pi. And, from what I hear, A Beautiful Mind.
Ah, well. As a friend of mine once said, "Mathematics created a lovely evening." And now I'm going to spend it studying.
