My mathematics blog, huh? Anyway here's pictures from when we visited ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger's parents to carve pumpkins. Which means we should get to Halloweekends pictures very soon and you can see what Cedar Point looks like in the fall! Again.
Pumpkin carving bunnyhugger gets ready to take a picture of her work.
The face of my pumpkin ... but wait, what's this?
It's the other face of my pumpkin! Yes, I made one with two faces and three eyes between them.
bunnyhugger ponders the plastic pumpkin she's carving as a permanent decoration. It's to be a bat. Her live pumpkin is behind it.

OK, look, Giordano Bruno was not burned for heresy for suggesting there were an infinity of worlds. He was burned for heresy because he kept going up to Popes, bumping his chest into them until they fell over and demanding they burn him for heresy, and when they wouldn't he spat on them and kicked the nearest Cardinal.
