It's amazing how regularly they pick authors I've never read anything by, and I end up looking like I've never picked up a book.

Because frankly, I will never be reading Euclid, and I'd be happy for a brief synopsis on triangles or something.<br /><br /> Then I might ask if he'd read the Upanishads (not that I have, but it would be a good distraction). :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-82765567334693466582010-08-21T06:36:40.569-07:002010-08-21T06:36:40.569-07:00Kathy,
