Two of the amusing things I did yesterday

1. Found an equation that will cause my cell phone's calculator to freeze and reboot the entire phone (Samsung Stripe, (2^1024)^1.5)
2. Taught Jeffrey Rowland the word "zarf"

I always thought a zarf was one of those bases with a handle that you put a cup into. They used to be all over the place many years ago, with those cone-shaped plastic white cups that fit into plastic bases.

Isn't this actually just a sleeve? Don't you need the base and the handle to actually be a zarf?

So, why exactly were you trying to determine (2^1024)^1.5?

Perhaps you should try calculating 2^1536 instead.
