Heaneyland!

Is this some brand-new fetish?

From Amber (who saw it at Bitch Ph.D.), it's the Sarong Theorem Archive.

Although I heartily approve of this page in concept, I feel that some of these people are not getting into the spirit of it, and are thus bringing down the overall quality of the enterprise. Draping a sarong around one's neck may be "wearing" it -- I'm looking at you, Noah Snyder -- but this is clearly an example of following the letter and not the spirit of the law. And what's going on with Brenda Fine? If the only way I can deduce that there is a sarong in a picture is that I have been told so, that is lame. Come on, people! I may not know much about higher mathematics, but I know hot sarong-wearing theorem-proving action when I see it, and Brenda Fine, that is not it. Look at Alice Medvedev! She is wearing the heck out of her sarong. I think we could all learn a lot from Alice (and not just about the compactness theorem).

(Side note: I am peripherally acquainted with Noah Snyder -- he helped run this year's Mystery Hunt -- and when I see him I will be sure to suggest that he be less timid with the sarong next time.)
