Yes, our mascot is not what he used to be.
Sometimes days go by without a post, and now this.
There used to be more time between him repeating

Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming anyone.

Math was not made by English people... at least not people which cannot
understand the difference between a greek letter and a meal.
The new phone messaging system & other tweet has done ravaging damages

Maybe it's time for some raytraced spheres over a checkered plane... one 
big, thought-provoking plane. (oops, I'm going beyond the scope of P.OT)

<- or maybe that's what everyone needs :D
