| Complex Numbers A complex number is expressed in the standard form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is defined by i^2 = -1 (that is, i is the square root of -1). For example, 3 + 2i is a complex number. The bi term is often referred to as an imaginary number (though this may be misleading, as it is no more "imaginary" than the symbolic abstractions we know as the "real" numbers). Thus, every complex number has a real part, a, and an imaginary part, bi. Complex numbers are often represented on a graph known as the "complex plane," where the horizontal axis represents the infinity of real numbers, and the vertical axis represents the infinity of imaginary numbers. Thus, each complex number has a unique representation on the complex plane: some closer to real; others, more imaginary. If a = b, the number is equal parts real and imaginary. Very simple transformations applied to numbers in the complex plane can lead to fractal structures of enormous intricacy and astonishing beauty. |

Every once in a while... okay, every damn day, I find something that's so funny that it makes me wish I'd done it instead of whoever actually did it. It's apparently from the Tonight Show? I don't know; I don't watch TV. But I sure as hell watch YouTube videos. The source I got it from, which is a blog that may be of interest to other folks who are into writing and/or photography: http://www.gfranks.com/blog/2009/11/3/universal-studio-free-photo-booth-lol-funn... |

Just kidding. Sounds like you made the best best man ever. 
And now I never will. You were lucky. It's really hard to lose the great ones that I grew up loving.
