"October. This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in.
The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February."
Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1894

坐地铁的时候, 我旁边一个小女孩在专注的看她手中的资料,
因为有好些化学符号的图示, 我就多看了两眼, 发现题目是: Motives and Formal Groups.
额的神啊, 这美国的数学教育也太NB了。 一高中生就在地铁里面研究Motives 和 Formal Groups了, 把我吓出一身冷汗。
回家请示了一下领导, 才知道正确的拼法是 Motifs and Formyl Groups.
