Yeah, I grasp it now, but until I started at uni, I was taught three things: 1) Don't pick your nose where people can see you, 2) always vote the straight SDLP ticket, and 3) the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

I was so impressed with what the teaching assistant demonstrated that I asked her out on the spot, hoping she had some other mysteries to unlock for me.
