Kudos to the person who recognises this face.
Everyone has heard of her.
Double kudos if you don't have to look it up.

Mata Hari.  I recognize the head gear.

Good stuff Brian!

I found her story interesting...

And all this time, I thought this was the original mata hari from Lancelot Link

I just read a full blown ε-δ proof of the following proposition in my real analysis book: if a function f is differentiable at a point a, then f is continuous at a.  I must say that it was pretty awesome to see how a variant of the triangle inequality established a key relationship between the  forward  and backward statements of the proof, which resulted in a beautiful flow of logical reasoning that eventually produced the desired conclusion.

P.S. I must thank Daniel Solow, Gary Chartrand, and Richard Hammack for their books on proofs, as these tools have helped me appreciate the beauty of mathematics.  Live long and prosper.

You people that sleep on your side, where do you put your facing down arm?
I would buy a bed and mattress that had a hole to put your facing down arm in with a little rest underneath.
I'd also buy a bed and mattress that had a hole to put your face in when sleeping on your stomach.
That's all the holes I need, Ignoramus, you dirty minded person. :-)

I have a Sleep Number bed, which conforms nicely to the pressure points. I usually lay on my left side (to avoid reflux problems) with the arm in front of me, just under the edge of the pillow.

I have a 10cm hard mattress on a wooden slat bed.
I don't find beds that sink in comfortable.
Same with pillows and lounge chairs.

In Australia, swagmen were using swags, which is just a bedroll full of personal belongings, way before the 60's.

you mean the 1860's  

And they were tying up kangeroos, or was it down, for some reason. I expect it was rapey.

So definitely rapey then.

Those Property Brothers sure have some sweet faces, bodies, and asses.

I've never seen the original Blade Runner and now there's a sequel about which everyone is raving.

I hear that the original was called Blade Slider. It was a two-parter.

Nah the original was called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

This isn't a joke.
