Age warp

Today's xkcd is about Mathnet.

Hey, I thought Randall was much younger than me. How does he know Mathnet?

Oh, right, I watched it in college. Because that's the kind of nerd I am.

I watched it in high school. It's actually a bit weird to think of people watching it as kids.

Ever watch Numb3rs? It's Mathnet for adults!

Why would I want to watch something for adults? :-)

I watched it in either junior high or high school. To this day, "Fibonacci" makes me think "1, 1, 2, 3, 5, Eureka!"

Squawk! :-)

I'm apparently young enough not to have heard of it. I did use the Fibonacci code as a mnemonic for a security password at a job once, though, so hopefully that balances out my nerd cred a bit.

Hey, maybe that means I'm young too, since I hadn't heard of it either! That'd be cool.

The Kate Monday vs. Pat Tuesday debate rages on.

I'm a fan of Beverly Leech, so I always preferred Kate Monday. But having grown up in NYC, I enjoyed seeing the show move there even though they replaced Kate with Pat. Decisions...

Too bad Randall wasn't in a position to watch the Walter Lewin 8.01/8.02 help videos on MIT cable. Could have gotten some good strips out of those :).
