Carl-E:
Ummm... equality is not a theoretical concept. it's a mathematical one, but not all mathematics is theoretical! You can balance a scale, after all...
And it's a quirk of English that the verb pass becomes passed in the past tense, but as an adverb, adjective, or preposition it's spelled past. Since the use in "gone past" is adverbial (for the past tense of going), I've used it properly.
Why yes, my father was an English major...

Why is Marigold's self-loathing the square root of two?
Because it's irrational.
Dora's flaws would be sqrt(-1), since most of them are imaginary.

Damn I logged in to say something like this, and I'd be pissed except your comment on Dora's flaws is so awesome I can't be.

I will forgo my chance at a cheap joke about military ranks, and instead state that I hope that "and" is a typo...

Certainly. Because a pretty person could also be nice to a butt-ugly zits-on your face, big nose and greasy greasy hair slob.
Or the pretty person could act nice to the slob, while plotting a devastating public meanness humiliation. Like in Carrie.

Aaaaah lol ok now I get it, thanks a lot !
P.s.: Still a very weird way to say it, because no, Marigolds self-loathing IS NOT sqrt(2), its only IN THE SAME FIELD AS sqrt(2) :D
P.p.s.: Or shorter and more precisely, "as sqrt(2)"
