Maths is never wasted in the visual arts, never know when the ability to control shapes and images on the fly, programmably will be used if he is studying graphic design.

Re: WTF in America
In the store last night there was a display of scent warmer thingies for Mothers Day....all the usual scents...vanilla, cookies, bluebonnet so etc etc. And Texas Cowboy.....that was a double WTF moment..."what the f" does a Texas Cowboy smell like (I can only imagine) and "why the f" would you want that in your house ....?

Re: WTF in America
If it wasn't, it is now, cause I just coined it. Maybe I have been in the US too long, they seem to have a habit of making up words.
I did mean using programming. It was terrible grammar anyway.

Oh, I knew that...just thought I'd come upon a fellow word-distorter...I take a perverse delight in doing that, simpler than putting the brain to deeper use

Re: WTF in America
Why?
Easy peasy/super simples:
To evoke "The Proustian Effect"!
See here: It's perfect for when that Lonesome Texas Cowgal is home alone on the range with just the deer and the antelope to play with....'cause her Bronco Buster Texas Cowguy's either on a fortnight's tour of the rodeo circuit or else marooned for a month on an offshore oil rig.
With "Texas Cowboy Smell Scent Warmer (matches included)" the stink of her Bronco Billy will permeate the lonesome emptiness ("a little dab 'll do ya").
Light up, lamp off, close your eyes Texas Cowgal, just breathe deeply and .....sweet dreams, sweetie.......snoooozzzzzzzzzzz, your guy's right there, everywhere, all over the room...keep breathing deeeply...
"My candle burns at both ends...." *
*Edna St.Vincent Millay:
“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
Oh...almost forgot....Happy Mother's Day
