Wet Dreams for the AlAzhar Set

Wonder how many ummah-humpers fall for this one. I suppose we should also wonder how long before someone like Hilton or Lohan does actually go for this as their career swims with the fishies [Lohan, O Lohan, do you hear the Muezzin call?]

Pretty goddamned funny.

Wonderful comments, by the way.

Also, I wonder if AA posted this because he's still burned by my devastating proof of the Ronaldo ~ Ronaldo theorem...

Recall that Paris Hilton dumped Ronaldo because he was too effeminate. Q.e.d.

That would be akin to my posting this because of deBranges' devastating proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

Tecumseh said...

Aahh, deBranges. He still kicking?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Yes, he is.
Still sporting a beret now and then.

In his pictures he just looks sadder and sadder.

Last time I was in West Lafayette, I didn't bump into him. If memory serves, though, I did go once with Mr Rot to listen to de Branges lecturing at MIT. Am I recalling correctly?

Here is an extract from his RH Apology. Hints of FCP themes?

An explanation is given in my doctoral thesis, written in the academic year 1956-1957.
I would not have accepted the problem without the encouragement of Harry Pollard, who
organized the symposium, and of Wolfgang Fuchs, who guided me through literature in
complex analysis. The monograph by Ralph Boas on Entire Functions prepared me in
a mathematical specialty which includes the classical approach to the Riemann hypothesis.
My thesis, Local operators on Fourier transforms, clari es the appearance of entire
functions in the spectral theory of unbounded functions.

My last visit to Mr. du Pont was made with my grandmother and my sister Nora when
I had become a doctor of philosophy and had completed active duty as a lieutenant in the
United States Army Reserve. Daughters arrived to see their mother, in bed upstairs with
a terminal illness. Mr. du Pont, blinded by cataracts in his eyes, drank rhum and orange
juice as he joked about the revolution in Cuba. Xanadu was converted by Fidel Castro
into a museum of capitalist decadence with the former butler as curator. The amusement
shown by Mr. du Pont at my mathematical career is a hint of a subsidy of my education
in Boston.

I think you went to see de Branges with Leverkuhn.

Anyway, I don't get the mockery. Who of us wouldn't like to be as stupid as Louis de Branges?

Tecumseh said...

Ah, yes, you're right -- but hey, Minsk, Pinsk. And who knows what duPont meant? Yes, de Branges is a smart cookie.
