Apparently I'm screwed; I cut it off the cob in sheets. So I guess that means I don't care about efficiency, but need things super neat and orderly. I have always liked Prolog though...

You obviously favour perl.

  "Neat and orderly" makes you think Perl? I absolutely love Perl, but "neat and orderly" is not the first thing that comes to mind. I think you'd need to have some sort of literary preference indicator (something like how you brush your teeth indicates whether you like Hemingway or Steinbeck, and Perl or Java), rather than a mathematical preference indicator, to determine one's propensity for Perl.

Same here. Everyone always thought it was strange. I just thought it was less messy.

Point set topology?

Close to the logician from the article then? -- Kind of doing your own thing, not even in between the two techniques, just completely outside the box.

You prefer to make mathematical discoveries using automated theorem provers. It occurs to me that these would make hilarious fortune cookies.

I'm a vertical man myself. I turn the corn on its side so the cylindrical part is going up/down and bite downwards. I do it so that the kernels come off cleanly and don't get stuck in your teeth (very similar to cutting them off). I wonder where that puts me?

  It's not clear to me how that would work unless you can unhinge your jaw. :)

  What's your chin doing in all this? I would think you'd be bumping either your chin or your nose (or both) against the cob as you eat this way. This whole discussion has made me hungry for some corn on the cob with nice butter and salt, damn.

It doesn't have any impact on your predilection for algebra or analysis, it just makes you a heathen heretic who doesn't understand the greatness of corn on the cob. Unless you have dental issues, or are 6, the corn is to be eaten on the cob.
