Cat Sci, that was a number of months ago. So what were you doing back then that you've just now noticed that you shortened you name?

So I was reading up on first order model theory because I had no idea what it was and I came across this paragraph.
quote:
For example the field of real numbers forms a structure R whose elements are the real numbers, with signature consisting of the individual constant 0 to name the number zero, a 1-ary function symbol - for minus, and two 2-ary function symbols + and . for plus and times. At first sight we can't add a symbol to express 1/x, since all the named functions have to be defined on the whole domain of the structure, and there is no such real number as 1/0. But on second thoughts this is not a serious problem; any competent mathematician puts the condition ‘x is not zero’ before dividing by x, and so it never matters what the value of 1/0 is, and we can harmlessly take it to be 42. But most model theorists are uncomfortable with any kind of division by zero, so they stick with plus, times and minus.
I am still not quite sure what a first order model theory is but I had a good laugh.

Better Link to Bloom County
I previously posted a link to Berkley Breathed's Facebook page, but the organization there isn't very good. Here's a better link to the Bloom County strip: Today on Bloom County 2019 - Comics by Berkeley Breathed - GoComics

Humour is often based on a bizarre response to a relatively ordinary situation - e.g. "If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood and she's a witch."
You have achieved humour.
