poetry in anyone's language

Marcel said...

thanks, I aim to improve th drudgery of everyday existence with poetry liek that (today from ßerlin, Germäny)

Here's a real message for you though: would you mind looking up the serial no. on the back of my espresso machine and mail it to me (or post it on the blog)? (No, I didn't expect to need that either...)

Paul, while you're at it, would you please also post the number of square meters ceiling space in Marcel's living room divided by the total number of individual sheets of toilet paper that were present prior to your grand entrance into Marcel's palace (no, I didn't expect to need that either...)?

Does anyone else have something for Paul to do while he's at it?

Paul said...

Marcel, that's tricky to explain, here goes...

"X1 - theta 4095 01/03"

Explanation:

The use of 'theta' signifies the symbol, not the word. It's the closest thing I can think of to the symbol on the machine, which is more like the old way of using a capital O with a / through it to signify zero. I hope that makes sense.

Remko, the answer to your request is a number much smaller than 1, because there were many sheets here when I arrived. How many significant figures do you need?

Remko said...

Just the last significant number will do. Thanks mate.

Marcel said...

Excellent, Paul, thanks a lot. Your next assignment will be in the mail. The password to open it is 'secret'.

Remko, why do you always post these irrelevant requests on the blog? Reall, it should be a mdeium for serious communication!!
