Well, this is . . . something . . Safe at last!

What can I say but that
mathematicians are odd
Mr. Zimmerman is a happy guy
you Wish you had your own conjecture!
mathematiicians practice I-told-you-so face.

Big news in whatever this field is!
"Mathematicians have proven Zimmer's conjecture that specialized symmetries called high-dimension lattices can't exist in some lower dimensions, opening up new avenues to explore, according to the conjecture's creator, Robert Zimmer. "There are a lot of interesting questions well beyond what you see in establishing that there are certain places the lattices just can't act," Zimmer said."

Their singing sucks, too.

"And you can't make a lattice with lettuce," he said crossly.

I like lattice in salads and on sandwiches.

Maybe so, but you also like to suck Trump-dick, so your taste is rather questionable.

The lattices can't act because the staples are pulling out. Spill a little glue on there and it will hold up better.

I guess I'm not exactly the most appropriate one to say so, but lattice dispense with the puns, shall we?

There's Math to be discussed, but I'm stuck in the matrix, so lattice is something Stormie can trellis all about, but we won't get it.

I tried to master higher math, but apparently I wasn't high enough.

"There are a lot of interesting questions" says Zimmer, and that is one of them.

But can you get tothe right dimension to check it out? I know you are trying!

- When Trump told Lattice to get the fighters, ready for a potential peer-on-peer conflict with China, I was all "Hell yeah!"
- When Trump told Lattice to sail ships and fly bombers in the South Pacific ocean in international waters, I was all "Hell Yeah!"
- When Trump told Lattice to move 5,200 active military to the southern border, I was all, "Um, no, 'posse comitatus.' And the Clown-in-Chief is manufacturing and hyping-up this "invasion" talk."
- When Trump told Lattice to ship ordnance to preposition it in Europe to hedge against the Russians, I was all "Hell yeah!!" . .

Hrm? Say that again. . .?
