oh, to be this witty

From the radiant Robyn Bender, this Edgar Allen Poe quote:

"To speak algebraically: Mr. Mathews is execrable but Mr. Channing is (x+1)ecrable."

My husband, the mathematician, will appreciate this. My daughter, who tried to explain the concept of infinity to me, her math-phobic mother (when she was five, please note) will appreciate it too. For those of you who face the same challenges, I suggest One Two Three . . . Infinity : Facts and Speculations of Science by George Gamow.
