Ah there it is.* I remember telling somebody about accidentally
   finding a pattern while playing around with making spirals in
   Excel... and getting ALL EXCITED because I thought I discovered
   something new (I noticed a pattern where prime numbers seemed to
   "chunk together" along diagonal lines) Then... I found out this
   guy did it 50 years before me :-| Still though, it was pretty
   cool.* GS * was it you I was talking about it with?* Couple of
   months ago?* I don't remember now. Anyway, that's when I
   realized I could so easily get sucked into the [1]#mathematics
   world.* Always a new pattern to discover.* Always finding out
   somebody else found out long before me.* Plus, I can't read
   mathematical formulas.* I mean, I can read them if they're
   written in programming languages or Excel... but I never got
   used to the weird way math is written.* I'm an ASCII guy.* If it
   fits in ASCII, I can read it, but as soon as you get weird
   symbols and crap, then I'm like NO GIVE ME WORDS PLEASE. Oh
   well. Anyway, after getting all excited then getting a little
   let down ('cause it wasn't new) I gave up on chasing mathematics
   for answers.* Somebody else can go through all that stuff and
   find new discoveries.* Not me.* I have a zillion other projects
   to attend to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislaw_Ulam
