So you're a liar. You also lied about having evidence about the moon landing, evidence about 9/11 and now you are lying about seeing the video of Irwin's death. Why would you do that?
Too simple .

You can't have experimental error in math. It's pure.[/b]
(2^lots)-1 is prime or not.
I'd call that an experiment.
If a bug in the code causes the computer to return the wrong answer,
then that's an experimental error.
Originally posted by skeeterI thought of that too. I went into the department and looked at the noticeboard with staff pictures on it. No one even close to what you claim exists.

Experimental error is when a result is obtained by statistical probability which is likely to give an incorrect result, hence having a tolerance to take this into account.
Maths is still pure and if someone were to write correct code to determain prime numbers, it would guaranteed work without error.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie is the latest to have a crack at Australian expat Germaine Greer over her comments about the late Steve Irwin.
Greer says the Crocodile Hunter "tormented" animals. In an article in Britain's Guardian newspaper, she says "There was no habitat, no matter how fragile or finely balanced, that Irwin hesitated to barge into, trum ...[text shortened]... dian article, and in a heated exchanged, labelled Irwin's legions of fans "idiots".
I applaud Germaine Greer.
I will also cop plenty of critisism but i dont care .

Don't know if it's been posted here previously, but here's the article in question:

You can just imagine Irwin yelling: "Just look at these beauties! Crikey! With those barbs a stingray can kill a horse!" (Yes, Steve, but a stingray doesn't want to kill a horse. It eats crustaceans, for God's sake.)
She imagines what he would say then criticises it! How ridiculous is that?
EDIT: Oh yes, found this article in Irwin's defence:
