Hunter Thompson actually did arrive at a solution of the Quadratic Equation while on acid. But when he sobered up he decided it had all been imaginary [preemptive apologies for the sorriness of this sort of joke].
Reminds me of a day in undergrad complex analysis. Wise-ass student asks prof in review right before the final,"What's this i business?" The prof was very straight-laced and tried to answer the question seriously. We all snickered at the poor, published rube.

It's a safe assumption that the "wise-ass student" now bears the nom-de-plume of "Herr Rott"
Nah, not me. I was never good enough a student to be that stupid.
