He means Flowery wallpaper sings off-key showtunes while tickling the rafters with tendrils of sugar plums whenever the clock strikes a bargain with a darong after midnight. Let me just socks and shoes and then we can VROOOOOOOOM!

*pushes a button under his desk* SECURITY!!!!!

*Your finger squishes into some old gum someone left there instead. Eww Gross. X_x*

No. Just..... no.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

I vote Yes, too. You're outvoted two to one, Rishums. YOU LOSE.

Are you sure he was saying 'yes' in response to your post? Perhaps he wasn't. In any case, I couldn't care less if I've been 'outvoted' because I'm not taking anyone's votes into account. Besides, I NEVER LOSE. NEVER. Oh, and NEVER call me 'Rishums'. Got it?

Enough. My ship sails in the morning. I wonder what's for Dinner.

But seriously though that's enough

So this is the 52nd post on this topic, which is actually very impressive, considering the fact, that it's about a newbie introducing himself to the forum, and yet, despite only being that, it's gotten to the point of being 3 pages long! This surprises, and impresses me quite a bit all at once, at the exact same time.

P'shaw. Arikyrenne's newbie topic got 31 pages. Yeah, it did.

Woah! that's so crazy! Especially for a newbie topic.

I forget what they were exactly, but that thread had more tangents than a trigonometry book.

Needed more SINE and COSINE, amirite?

Did someone say.... SOCATOA!?

>.>

What does SOCATOA!? mean?

As far as I know, it's an acronym for what Psx posted: "Some Old Horses Can Always Hear Their Owner Approach", both of which help in remembering formulas for how to calculate angles and such for right triangles.

Sin(X) = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos(X) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tan(X) = Opposite/Adjacent, where X is an angle of the triangle, and Opposite and Adjacent refer to the legs of the triangle in relation to where they are with respect to X. *hopes she got that right, as it's been quite a while since I've used that*

(Though I actually learned the phrase as "Some Old Horse Caught Another Horse Taking Oats Away"^^; )

Edit: Wait, I just realized that the "SOCATOA" doesn't have enough letters to be an acronym for Psx's phrase (it would have to be "SOHCAHTOA"), so hmmm...
Edit 2: Quick Google search shows that it still helps with remembering the trig functions I mentioned above, though, so I guess it's pretty much the same, just without the H's

Ah yes, I remember that SOHCAHTOA * back in the day when I was in upper high school. I just used my good ol' calculator to work that * out.

Do not attempt to dodge the censor. Any word that is caught by the censor is unacceptable. Self-censoring must involve replacing more than half of the letters with letters or symbols that do not resemble the letter being censored. - quoted from the Mobius Forum Rules thread

Oh so it's that kind of stuff huh, which I'm guessing is about finding out the degrees to shapes and stuff related to that then.

It was always "Ocscar Had A Heap Of Apples" for me. That's not even getting into the inverses.

It was always "Ocscar Had A Heap Of Apples" for me.

What does that refer to?

Looks like SOHCAHTOA without the S, C, or T.

Yep.

"Oscar had" = o/h = sine
"a heap" = a/h = cosine
"of apples" = o/a = tangent

I'm very curious as to whether or not this is going to lead to alot more math talk or not.

Are you serious?

Why so serious?
