You know Don, the only reason I remembered that is one of the many math classes I took was taught by the perfect stereotype geeky grad student, who explained about the transmission wires one day and said we could impress all our friends on road trips. Needless to say, were it not for the anonimity of the internet, I would probably keep those sorts of words under wraps.

In math the teacher always talked about two trians departing at different time, different places and at different speeds. Anybody heard how they are doing and did they ever met, It didn't make the news.
