I've been to a LOT of football games and events with 80,000+ people in my life and never once saw anything on fire (except one guy who forgot to take out the charcoal in his grill and it burned up), anyone shot, beaten to death, smashing windows, destroying someone else's private property, etc.

or not.

We don't come here to read the news. We can do that elsewhere. We come here to hear what other nerds think about the news.

Here on Slashdot, someone could post a comment about the size of Kim Kardashian's butt.

Someone would post that "I am mathematician specialized in female topology" . . .

And the next would post, "I am the Dean at the Harvard School of Buttology".

That's the fun thing about Slashdot . . . it costs nothing . . . and it is worth everything that you pay for it!

Almost exactly correct but the phrasing would be... "AS A MATHEMATICIAN" or probably more likely "AS AN ENGINEERing student"
