What's a "face book"? Is it like a pop-up book? Or a colouring book
featuring only faces?

Ah, but which one are you? You might be Owenbot *pretending* to be the
real Andrew, mightn't you?

Yes... it all makes sense now...

What is the sound of one hand clapping? What's the square root of minus
1? What is beauty? What is love? Answer, damn you, answer! You can't

I think OwenBot gained sentience and now exists outside the confines
of the Internet. I lost track of him in about 2002. So, yeah, you
might be on to something.

1� is 1, not -1.

The square root of 1 is an imaginary number. 1i or something.

Specifically the _two_ squares roots of -1 in the complex numbers are
written i and -i (or sometimes j and -j; perhaps a consequence of the
theory developing prior to the distinction between the two letters
having settled down?)

There are rather more if you're working in quarternions etc...
