It's all about the prepositions

Conversation from Sunday, about my birthday, which is Friday:

triadruid: You'll be 27, then?
Me: Yep. Fine druid number, that.
Triadruid: You're going to wake up a druid any day now. You'll likely wake up a druid on Saturday.
Me: Seems sort of unlikely.
Triadruid: *shrug* You could maybe wake up *with* a druid then. Three druids, possibly.
Me: Yeah, that sounds okay.
Triadruid: Nine druids, maybe. Do we know nine druids?
Me: I'm going to need a bigger bed.

Errr, 4⁴⁴ = 64, n'est pas?

Nope. Not even close.
4⁴ = 4 x 4 = 16 x 4 = 64 x 4 = 256.

4⁴⁴ is much larger depending on how you group. the smallest would be 256⁴ or 2^{8 x 4} or 4.3 billion (american, not english). The other would be 4²⁵⁶ or 2⁵¹² or about 4 x 10¹⁵³.

No, darlin'.
64=4^3.

Ehh, sorry. I'm stuck on the 3's.

Sokay. I still love you, but I will be double-checking your tallies from now on :-P

When the GC budget starts to involve double-exponents, I will be glad to have your help, honey. :)

There is just no need for that at all.

When the GC Budget starts to involve double exponents, I will pry it from your weird manic grasp and re-write the sumbitch.

(By the way, scroll down, you could have a convert...)

One too many superscripts there, I think.
