    I forgot to tell you guys about the stupidest thing at the Q if you haven't been there before. On the scoreboard, it would say Cleveland on one side and Chicago on the other. But get this- in the middle, it would say The Diff. So let's say Cleveland had 58 points and Chicago had 44 points, under The Diff, it would say +14. I
    kid you not. Stupidest thing I've seen in any arena.

    Oh and speaking of stupid, when I went to Phoenix, I wore a Blazers t-shirt. At the concession stand, one worker said to another "is that who we're playing tonight?". I kid you not.

    I can imagine concession stand workers not giving a flying duck about who the team is playing. It's probably just a job to them.

    Since this thread isn't related to anything, I thought I'd throw in that Al Horford looks like Grant Hill.

    That's pretty cool. Like "scoring differential"...kindof a unique way for a venue to display the score. I like it.

    How about Diff EQ? I fucking hated differential equations when I took that class, I felt like my ears were going to start bleeding.

    I use the generic store brand of Q-tips. They are called "double tipped cotton swabs". I kid you not.

    I went to popeyes today and ordered chicken strips, they gave me a leg, thigh and wing instead. Stupidest thing I've seen in any fast food joint.

    I thought it was fun, until I got bored of it...like a month in. Then it was just tedious.

    I haven't done diffEqs in a few years but,

    2 is y-y*x^2= (1/3)x^3-(1/2)x^2
    3 is y-xsin(y) = -(1/2)X^2
    4 is y=yx^2

    It just seems weird for the Q to do basic math for the fans. I mean it will literally say:

    Cavs.......The Diff......Celtics
    100............ -2...........102


    Is "The Diff" really necessary?
