today I was working on figuring a triangle in a non- cad environment using law of cosines- I wanted to check to make sure I had the formula correct- So I grabbed a handy rite-in-the-rain job book - opened the covers and ….. no formulas….

Just kidding.  It is just plain silly how many formulas (ae) I can remember more than 50 years after graduation from college.

Our superlatitudinal pal Derek Graham had some velocity rate defined in something like "emu-lined boots per second".  My favorite velocity rate is defined in furlongs per fortnight.
