My theory about who was bringing me tea in the morning has received more evidence. Today, there was no tea on my desk and the prime suspect is not here. I am too busy fiddling with Catalan numbers to worry much about it.

Ok, so you have tea and coffee that mysteriously appear, and I have coffee that mysteriously stays hot all day in an empty house.
I linked to the Wikipedia article in the blog post so you can get the same explanation I did, but they are just a set of integers that come up a lot in combinatorics problems.
Hmm, weird. I actually added the link after your comment. Originally, I was going to, but figured only John would be interested in it, and he would probably have already alt + t, wikipedia'd it.
The English speaker's native ability to verb any noun is unmatched.

What are Catalan numbers>
It is a mystery...

Combinatorics basically means counting problems.
Sorry, I missed the wikipedia link - it doesn't show up in my feed reader, only on the blog post itself. (Which another mystery, but I digress.)
Wow, combinatorics...things I didn't learn about in school. :)

Speaking of verbing nouns, I still haven't blogged about my Inorganic class, but I will.
