Everything One Needs to Know in Life Can be Learned by Reading mathNEWS

Welcome to the end of another term! It's time once again to review the wisdom to be found within the issues of the past months. Why? Because of the rave reviews I got last term! Or because I have some free time at work. Details, details... at any rate, have a look through this term's issues to see if you can also find the following tidbits:

  1. Gino's pizza is the best deal near campus [2]
  2. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (or eat hot dogs) [3]
  3. When playing bridge, beware people who sneak cards back into their hand after tricks [2]
  4. Sometimes siblings can really get your goat [4]
  5. MacIntosh machines crash [1] but there's an online FAQ [3]
  6. Work with StatsCan means work regarding Samplists [5]
  7. If you think driving on the 407 is bad [4], observe the situation in Korea [2] (I like the idea of blue signs, myself... :)
  8. Asparagus grows in fields [3]
  9. Sometimes you just have to make up the rules as you go along
  10. It seems almost anyone can run for office these days
  11. Avoid name-calling
  12. And finally, it's not so bad being si-- actually, I'm not going anywhere NEAR that. Especially given my lowly status.

So, mathNEWS wisdom to reflect upon when you look over those previous issues instead of studying. Or instead of doing your work term report. Ahem. Anyway, I depart now with that obligatory comment: All hail Mercury, the goddess of love and exams!
