Lawrence of Arabia Otherwise, it's Sierra Leone alright ("movie-set") (Or Maltese Falcon for a very loose def of "set" or "N Africa") [0] fr wikipedia for the song

> Lawrence of Arabia They claim that, but I don't see how it could possibly be true, based on the cast listing at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056172/fullcredits : apart from an uncredited nurse (Barbara Cole) it seems like a screenplay calculated to make Ms Bechdel sad.

But not the (biologically male) gay counterpart of Ms Bechdel?

s/virtu/epsilon of licentiousness/ ? EDIT: not "viti" Going to flip through your recommendations (at least) with an eye (3rd) towards ergodicity (or even Hurwitz spaces) EDIT: don't worry too much about Galois -- you make me wonder if I had not read his letters (esp the fine print in his last testament) too carelessly.

For every epsilon of licentiousness, there exists a delta of venus, such that...? (as an algebraist, it seems analysts spend an awful lot of time chasing tails!) I have been brought up in a culture where seduction follows a sequence ("running the bases"); are there cultures where that does not suffice, and seduction requires more sophistication: a net*, say, or even a filter? * in line with the genre fiction cover ki…

The epsilon of tail-chasing beats the delta of (phallic) symbol pushing!

Re: uni- Cantabrigian?

Yes, for "better" seduction technik, you should restrict your search to uni culture.

No, although I do have a fair amount of shelf space devoted to a CS book series (published by that breakaway technical college somewhere in the fens) all of which are in shades of what I would've called green, but a cantab colleague informed me was in fact blue.

If either of us had had any irish gaelic, maybe we would've agreed upon glas? see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_lang...

True — I ought to have considered that, for I know the book Seven Pillars of Wisdom has in supertext some passages that (if they made it at all) are probably only referred to in the movie as subtext. mea culpa

No, I was referring to that one female Pilgrim whose descendant founded my uni.

To make it more equitable, my uni was the ancestor of SBF's alma mater (bureaucratically as well as vexillarily).

If that's too much travail, consider that its location is the namesake of an oikos that perpetually draws in a certain Homeric hero.

One hint too many! I have been taught that "it's ${LOCATION}ing" is the english equivalent of « il pleuvine », and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40244602 ought to have billions and billions of connections. (none of which involve Leontine S)

(as for me, one of my friends is on the faculty, studying among other things quiver varieties, which brings us full circle back to Penelope, who set up the competition with Odysseus' bow. If it were an asian recurve bow, it makes sense that the suitors might've tried to string it backwards, and if it were a horseback bow, the draw weight for its size might easily have been such that only someone who knew the foot trick for stringing would've managed)

He'd better not be also studying cdS, because that hits too close to oikos.
