Today, the following conversation occurred:

   You look like you're falling asleep there.

   Uh? Oh, no, I'm just thinking.

   What are you thinking about?

   Runge-Kutta.

   What??

   Fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical integration with an apative step-size.

   ...why?

   It's a project I'm working on. I plotted a mathematical graph of the 
phase space of a chaotic pendulum, but that involved using some kind of 
numerical integration algorithm to solve the system of differential 
equations.

   OK...

   Well, the people on the Internet seemed to like the videos.

   ...

And then she asks me:

   ...Are there other people like you?
