  That’s the joke, yes. GA is sometimes called Grassmann algebra hence the “grass” reference.

    I thought Grassmann algebra consisted of only scalars, vectors, bivectors, etc. but not their linear combinations. So a mixed scalar plus vector is not an element of a Grassmann algebra. An alternative name is exterior algebra. You get Clifford algebra / Geometric Algebra (two names for the same thing) by taking closure under sums and considering a more general product. [edit: It appears I'm right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra]

      Grassmann algebra and exterior algebra are synonyms.

  Pretty much all over the world I heard cannabis refered to as ganja. But I didn't know yet, it was because of that city.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganja_(cannabis) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganja_(cannabis) > Ganja is a Hindi name for hemp, derived from the word ganjha, from the Sanskrit gañjā, referring to a "powerful preparation from cannabis sativa".
