I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Reading between the lines, way down in the echo chasm of your harmless wit, I detect some vague sense of pro-verbial sabotage; indeed, the vague but unmistakable haunting presence of cosmic disagreeblerness...
Just wait till those parallel lines reach infinity! The lines aren't counting on how long that will take, but believe me, the trip will not be short. At the moment the two lines reach infinity they will both be cross with one another.

"Every student ought to memorize and quote these lines, whenever and wherever appropriate."
Ah, and don't forget to quote that proviso!
Exactly!
