Right now it's the "Quadratic Primes Series"
P=x^2 + x + 41, Where x = 0 to 39 or
P=x^2 - x + 41, Where x = 1 to 40
P=x^2 -81x+1681 Where x=1 to 80
This last formula generates the QP series in decreasing
order until x=40, 41 then the numbers start increasing.

Video editing, on and off (currently off, frequently on). Mythology on and off, currently on (Norse and Celtic currently, Greek and Roman in the past). I'm also currently obsessed with cats, since I'll be adopting one in a few weeks. I spend hours each day reading about cat toys, looking at the shelter website, and brainstorming names.

Hi, Ubercool. I take it "pissing people off" is your special interest? Do you have a particular talent for it?

Writting is my greatest and longest running obsession (about 10 years now) and my favorite one too :P

I have a hole 1/2 acre full of pine cones but I don't know what kind they are. I love trees and plants, all kinds, so I have a yard that looks like a small forest. :D I live on the prairie so it is rare to look out the window and see vegetation.

This is too funny, I did not mean to turn the thread into my PineCone obsession!

This is from an Ebay listing, I might put a bid on them! They are fairly rare, growing in I think only California and a few bordering states at elevations higher then 3000 feet.

If anyone has any large or unusual pinecones, feel free to PM me! I'll pay for shipping! :lol:

Otherwise maybe we should let my pinecone obsession die on this thread! :oops:

Not so much into pine cones per se, but I do love their patterns.
Similar to sunflowers.

That one is probably about 8 or 9 inches tall, falling out of a tree I am sure it could give you a concussion! :lol:
