Mathematics
Two nights ago the Red Sox were mathematically eliminated from the post-season. It was very much an anti-climax, since it was clear that the team had collectively surrendered after being swept in a five-game series against the Yankees at Fenway more than a month earlier. Why did it take so long for Math to catch up to reality?
In college, I majored in Chemistry, Biology, Psychology and - lastly - Computer Science. I never majored in the only subject in which I consistently received straight A’s: Math.
I love Math. I hate its inevitable conclusions. X will never equal Y. Why? Because I’m a poet, that’s why.

X = 8. Everyone knows that.
and here I thought the answer to the ultimate question of the universe was 42.
Because you are a romantic, it adds up and you know it ;)
