I got my textbooks for Fall in the mail yesterday and I read the first chapter in each of them just to be a little ahead of the game when I start my face to face classes in August. One of the textbooks is on philosophy and it was covering the Pythagoreans. If there is a movie out about them someone please pass the word on to me.

How great would a movie about people that turn every single facet of human life into numbers and equations be? I think it'd make a great psychological thriller. These people used math as their religion, literally. They worshiped by working with numbers. In my opinion they were so smart that they went insane. They killed one of their own for revealing that the Pythagorean theorem didn't work on isosceles right triangles, they drowned him in a river.

Also I started reading my survey of biotechnology book and it makes me pretty upset. That class is going to stress me out since I am morally opposed to most of what biotechnology is doing and their methods of getting there. greaaaat.
