MC
"A Mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems." - Paul Erdös
I've been forced to become a morning person this semester. Consequently, I need a daily fix of McDonald's coffee (MC). Now MC is not good. It's not hip. It's not gourmet. It doesn't even really have that coffee smell. But when I don't have my daily MC, I just end up staring at a blank sheet of paper.
With MC I can transcend time. Proofs flow effortlessly from my pencil. I hop on over to my office computer and type the results. I print, run up stairs to get the print-out. It's beautiful. I check the time, only one hour. Man I'm glad I drank two cups of MC today.
