Well, the title does indicate that Jay is constrained to integer values.

You know what I noticed about Jay? Every time he walks, his feet apply a couple pounds per square inch of pressure to the ground. But he doesn't leave giant charred blast craters everywhere he steps.

Therefore, Jay Windley is a hoax.

Back to your leaf blower and dirt pile, Daryl71!

P.S.
OK, is anyone suddenly having their capital letters (after the first letter) automatically changed to lower-case? I have not had this happen until this post.

More appropriate in the sense of "not likely to get the Ban Hammer of Doom slammed against my skull in the heat of battle", but I don't shift emotional gears so easily in the long term.

You can make logic vanish? That's a good trick

Logic:
The answer is 42. You remember the question? "What is 6 times 9?" Well, it's quite logical .... just use base 13. And you shouldn't need FORTRAN to help you work that one out!

You must get the reference, then. According to Douglas Adams' quotation of Oolon Calluphid, that's what happened to God when confronted with the Babel Fish. "Vanishing in a puff of logic" is one of those priceless Adams turns of phrase I can't get out of my head, so therefore I use it copiously.

Here are some other literary references I use routinely in real life. Since this thread is about me, you'll have to sit here and listen to me talk about them.

Assume I'm a genius. From Larry Niven's character Beowulf Schaeffer. I say it when people question what I'm doing and I know what I'm doing but circumstances don't allow me to explain it just then. That's essentially the context from the reference, but Beowulf is much more sarcastic about it than I would ever be. Ever. Really.

Share and Enjoy. Hardly particular to me, but I use it more in the original sense. In hacker culture, where I first heard it used outside its original context, the phrase doesn't carry the marketing-driven denial. When I use it, it does. It usually means I'm providing something upon request that I don't feel is ready for the use to which it is about to be put. Coming from me it means, You will hate this. It means, This will bite you.

Hold onto your butts. From Samuel L. Jackson in Jurrassic Park. This is what I say (with his inflection) right before I'm about to commit myself and my team to a course of action very likely to result in spectacular failure. The last, best usage of it was T-4 seconds before a QM firing out at ATK.

It's been about 20 years since I read any Known Space stories (except for starting TRT twice and getting side-tracked)--could you remind me of the context please?

Larry Niven didn't he write Ring World?

That's correct--see here for his Known Space works. TRT in my previous post stands for The Ringworld Throne, a sequel to Ringworld (along with The Ringworld Engineers and Ringworld's Children).

Not really, because it's been longer since I read them myself.
