What things you discovered on your own, that is actually already known and named for a long time? For example, you observe a phenomenon, you write it down, but didn't look it up further for lack of words. Years later, you chance upon the exact same thing on Wikipedia.

In middle school, I created a mathematical formula to calculate how many unique handshakes exist with a given number of people.

Absolutely fucking useless but worked.

Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
