Default Phil Sylvia
Suppose Phyl And Sylvia, succombing to passion, decided to get married and combine their lightbulb businesses. In order to save money, (considering Phil's lightbulbs don't burn as long) they have children. What does everyone suppose that they would name them?

Congrats Tuba. You are the first to go off the deep end from studying too long .
Does anyone else have about a 15 minute attention span for studying right now? Not sure if I am gaining anything at this point.

Why, parameter and twice-parameter, of course.

(If I know this by heart, I'm going off the deep end too...)

Speaking of insane, it's somehow comforting that I'm not the only one on here on a Saturday night.

After taking 4 tries for Course 3, I don't really care to go through that again, so it's been "No life" 2 months for me.
