As long as we're (I'm) talking spelling, from saden's link

BBC News - Russian maths genius Perelman urged to take $1m prize (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8585407.stm)

Maths? Really? Isn't it just Math?

That is impressive. And reading about those 7 problems on the Wiki page made me feel really dumb.

Yea, I noticed that error myself but didn't want to say anything.

I have many things in common with firstdown including a long battle with dislexia.

He looks like someone who has bodies chopped up in his freezer.

LOL, ya know what I just thought of- remember that thread like two years ago where we were posting funny pics (I don't think it was the happy fun thread, but I may be wrong), and someone posted that 80's pic of that chubby nerdy dude holding the computer diskette looking all proud? Man that made me laugh so hard.

A shiny nickel to anyone who can dig up that thread/pic.
