Tau: In relativistic mechanics, the ratio of rest mass to total mass. tau = sqrt( 1 - (v^2/c^2) ).

tau=zero: Moving at the speed of light. Can't touch that.

Also the title of a Poul Anderson novel.

People are masochistic

It's funny.  Laugh.
I continue to go through life calling 'em as I see 'em, most especially when I have a negative view of persons or events, and sometimes spicing things up with extra-hot sarcasm and worse. (And the occasional joke.)

Yet despite this, I haven't had a new freak in ages. People continue to "friend" me (this entry prompted by the most recent).

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the part of Slashdot which reads me (probably including most of Sol's and Pixie's friends) has a large fraction of masochists.

(I have mod points. Should I test this by going through my "fans" list and modding people down? I suppose that appreciative reactions would confirm the hypothesis. Hmmm....)

Update: Dang, there's another one! I've got the wrong looks, the wrong personality and the wrong demeanor. Where did I go right? (2 points to whoever catches THAT reference)
