The Council of Advanced Mathematicians has released the name of the winner of the Steven Hawking Award for Complicated Mathematics. This year, the award goes to The Webmasters at the World Literature Corporation (WLPC) for their convoluted and complicated scoring rubric for stories posted on their websites.
"Competition for the prestigious award was particularly fierce this year," said Council President Archibald Bentham. "It was a close race between the Physics Department of Hamburg University and their Unified Theory of Everything and World Literature Corporation, but two of the judges were able to decipher one line of the Hamburg entry while not a single person could understand anything about the WLPC scoring system.
The presenter at this year's award ceremony, Sir Basil Smythe-Wellington, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, remarked that 'the complex algorithm continued to baffle some of the greatest minds in mathematics and physics.'
Lazeez, the person who accepted the award for WLPC, noted that, "I am excited to announce that in our tireless effort to further obfuscate the voting procedure we are evaluating a formula that compares the composite scores with the number of left-handed Albanian vegetarians then arbitrarily divides the results by some random number."
I posted the first chapter of a new story today. The story is purely fiction and although some of the names and locations are accurate I made that crap up. So if you are an archeologist or a history expert no use getting your panties in a bunch. I will post at least one chapter a week. Thank you Tenderloin for all your editorial help.
I am back to writing and I am working on a new sci-fi-ish story set in modern and ancient Egypt. I have a few chapters written and hope to start posting them in the next month or so, but don't try to hold me to that. I will not post anything unless I'm reasonably sure I can finish it.
I hear a lot from folks who want to know about Twice Lucky III. I wish I knew what to tell you because my mind goes blank every time I try adding to the story. Same thing with El Paso Border Wars.
More later.
Regards Joe
Hi All,
I am posting the first chapter of El Paso Border War on 13 Aug 09. Dream-Girl not only edited it, she also wrote some the story. The story will post on Mondays and Thursdays. Scoring is turned off right now so you'll have to express your gripes via e-mail.
Border Wars touches more than once on the subject of illegal immigration. It had too, if you think about it, because for a rancher near the border, illegals are a fact of life. There is rape in the story also, because it too, is a fact of life for the women and girls being smuggled into the US. So, while those real-world issues are part of the story, like most of the things I write, the main emphasis is on a good man trying to do the right thing and the women in his life.
