Intersection!

We're having a party, I guess you could call it, to watch the Maryland vs. Duke game on February 11th. The game's at 1:00 so this won't be a late thing. If you're reading this (no text-to-speech fans welcome) and will be a reasonable distance from our place that weekend, I would highly recommend coming. I can't promise to try to keep my misspoken play-by-plays to a tolerable minimum, but I'll try to try.

Illness

So it seems like I am sick. Actually, it's seemed that way for over a week now. I think I'm getting to the end of it, but it's hard to tell. This started last Saturday after I got my ass handed to me by a black belt. And by ass I mean nose. And by handed to me I mean kicked hard enough to make it bleed. That afternoon I started out with a slight stuffy nose that could have just been blood. That night there was a party at Craigs and I drank, not a lot, but perhaps more than I should have if I was sick. That lasted 4 or 5 days, then progressed into a sore throat with the occasional sinus congestion. I was actually happy with that; cough drops solved most of that problem. Today I woke up and felt much better. I went to Tae Kwon Do tonight for the first time in over a week and my stomach/intestines started hurting. My theory is that it's from the dinner I made earlier: both the bread and the cheese were suspect, but I was hungry. If that's the case than I'm pretty much finished being sick. If it's not food poisoning then I have some bizarre disease that migrates from one symptomatic collection to another. If that's the case, I'm going to bet that it will progress to a horrible flesh eating skin rash. That'll be a fun way to go.

Math question

I'm having some trouble with this math problem Leonard and I are working on. Does anybody know how to derrive the cardinality of an n dimensional real space where n is the infinity representing the cardinality of the real numbers? When n is one, the cardinality of the real space is the same as the real numbers for the trivial reason of them being the same. When n is 2 the cardinality of the 2-dimensional real space is still the same as that of the real numbers (I don't feel like doing a full derivation here but I think I've got that much down sofar). The same holds when n is any natural number, and also when n is the infinity representing the cardinality of natural numbers. But what about when n is the cardinality of the reals?

Or, you could do something at the opposite end of the 'smart' scale...
and see what our friends across the pond have been up to. Related, I saw this a while ago and found it somewhat ammusing, somewhat a batshit stupid waste of my time.
