Nice. :wink:

Okay, ya know how I briefly considered changing my name at one point (Morgenstern, yes?)

WELL! At the time it was just a Rammstein fling because I like the song... (or rather, a Pros-induced Rammstein fling.) Anyway, today I was on the internet looking up game theory and apparently there's this guy named Oskar Morgenstern who was the co-founder of Game Theory!

*dies*

How utterly cool is that? Yeesh, I didn't even KNOW that, and here he just happens to have been a game theorist?!

(NOTE:> DD is interested in game theory)

:twisted:

Ah, Morgenstern. Related to Morgenstern-I saw the Evening Star today, in all its, or his, I should say, glory. Bright Earendil...

Yep.

Morgenstern, as in S. Morgenstern, the 'author' of The Princess Bride?

? ... Lol, I dunno. Morgenstern means Morningstar in German and Oskar Morgenstern developed game theory, and I believe Bjorn's making a Tolkein reference (correct me if I'm wrong)...

S. Morgenstern?

"The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern, Chapter One...Buttercup lived on a small farm in the country...etc. etc."

TELL me you've seen the Princess Bride.

Thanks Nate! ^_^ I was hoping to become a game theorist via a mathematics degree, so we'll see... It's either that or Chaos Theory.

I find it absolutely fascinating. :wink:
  








What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
