Sheesh! And I was hoping to stimulate some nice esoteric discourse akin to the "time on my hands" ponderings when I offered SCI'ENCE as the Alpha post on this thread! Guess I blew it with that apostrophe quip, huh?

Great, Max! This whole thread was worth the trip just to get to that gem of a parody! (not discounting, of course, the other posted treasures along the way! ) And, Max, I think the parody deserves a home and link on your "Fruits of Our Labors" page...this definitely belongs to AWAD posterity!

"The Thread goes ever on and on Down from the board where it began. Now far ahead the thread has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it on ayleur's feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many words and ideas meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
This works to the tune of "It Was the Song That Never Ends"...

I find it interesting that the wordscience means knowledge in Latin, whereas mathematics means the same thing in Greek.
Actually gnosis is 'knowledge' in Greek (and I'm sure you could come up with others), whereas mathematics is 'learning'... what's the Latinate for that? Apprehension (going by French)?
