    I'm nerdy in a classic literature sort of way. I also like math and science. My goal is to be a true Renaissance woman ;)

    What did Odysseus use to clean his palace after killing Penelope's suitors?

    (I only know this because it was a 9th grade quiz question that seemed to come out of the blue, I still remember it)

    Do you mean sulfur? Or the way he made his servants clean everything up and then hung them outside in the courtyard?

    That's literature, now do some math and science. Then it will be official, you will be a Renaissance woman.

    Just work out the chemical composition of the sulfur commonly used for fumigation at the time, and you're set ;)

    That was sulfur dioxide, so SO2, or two oxygen molecules to one sulfur molecule.

    OH come on. I can't be the ONLY person left that doesn't watch GoT? It isn't something I think I'd like but more than that I don't think I want the commitment of a show like that. I've missed just about every popular tv series for that reason!

    I'm a hold out too...
    By in large I think most TV shows today are pretty lame, especially sitcoms... I just think "How I met your mother" or "Everybody loves Raymond", shutter and cringe lol...

    I would give GOT a chance but I barely have time to breathe and sleep these days...

    Although I've gotten pretty heavy into audiobooks, listening to the age of swords right now and dig it...

    How dare you talk about HIMYM that way!

    (in my defense, I hated Ted)

    I love Marshal. He is the image of the person i would like to be. Ted IS dumb

    Curb Your Enthusiasm, Married with Children, Arrested Development, The Golden Girls, All in the Family, The Office, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Roseanne, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Frasier, Parks and Rec

    Some of my favourites for sure!

    Since were talking tv does anyone watch Your the Worst? I think it's great.

    Hemlock Grove anyone??

    New Zealand TV shows - Flight of the Conchords and The Almighty Johnsons (I'm still working on this one).

    And Shameless is pretty awesome.

    For new shows on HBO, I liked Roadies and The Night Of.

    Of course everyone should watch Penny Dreadful! It's awesome and Eva Green :love:

    only Flight of the Concords

    Yusssssssss

    It's either 96 or 40, depending on your interpretation. However, if you decide on the running total interpretation of 40, you can also get 96 if you fill in the missing equations.
