I suggest moving General Discussions to "Off Topic Chit-Chat."

Apparently "What is 5 + 3" is too simple. I suggest that new members be forced to provide a counterexample to the Riemann hypothesis.

The Spam Who Came To Dinner No synopsis necessary.

You mean you never studied the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process when you took Linear Algebra? I saw this film when it first came out (being a mathematician, I was naturally interested). I was surprised (and a bit disappointed) that the audience was predominantly white. I would have assumed that a film with such strong black women would have attracted a more diverse crowd ... but maybe the showing I attended was a fluke. If you are interested in a similar theme, I'd recommend the documentary Top Secret Rosies, about women mathematicians working for the war effort during the 1940s.

Try going back one page.

The post is still here:

In an interview, Ken Norton said "Susan George seduces me. At first it's really hip, but after you get seduced 12 hours a day two days straight, it's kinda hard to like it." Yes, I'm sure it was hard.

There is no switch. That's the problem.

The ending is pretty funny. I also liked the scene of Hope (disguised as a foreign woman) dancing with Moss. Moss hurls every insult at him/her he can think of, and Hope responds with gibberish like "farfer farfer piffik."

Hmm... in my settings, the "member title" is just above the birthday field. Yours is missing. Maybe things changed when the boards were updated last. I also have enabled my status updates (just below birthday field). Not sure if that makes a difference, but you can try that to see if the field appears. Anyone else have any ideas?

Account settings/edit profile/member title. If yours says "Advanced Member" there (or is blank), type in a new quote and save it.

By the way, my crack about "advanced member" status was intended for the spammers. Since all these threads got merged, I can understand the confusion about whom/what I was referring to.

Go into "account settings." You will see a tab that says "other settings," under which you will see "edit profile." That should get you in.

Down to 132 pages now ... and the viewing window has returned to normal. Not sure what that was all about. The other forums were not affected.

189 pages of spam today ... those damn Russians. Somewhere in this mess is the spam thread, but i wasn't going to go looking for it. Oh ... and this thread (and others) have somehow been "enlarged" in my viewing screen.

Boy, it doesn't take long to achieve "advanced member" status around here.

Now this could get interesting. I've heard of quoting things out of context, but out of other threads? This opens up some wonderful possibilities for misunderstandings. Thanks. And I know you are just bored tonight.

Try posting a nude photo of Barbara Stanwyck. That might get someone's attention.

I'm sure that when Mason read this scene in the script, his first thought was "hey, this is a movie I really want to make."

IMDb claims this is a remake of the 1925 film The Pony Express. Trust me, it's not.

Trust me, when she's blown up, she looks pretty good.

His best work was as Lieutenant Dick Chasen (I kid you not) in The Indestructible Man. Here, he tries to arrest The Inflatable Woman.
