Off On A Tangent

     "Sine and drive," the car dealers TV ads tell me.  Never "Cosine and drive,"* never "Tangent and drive."  Hmpf.

    Remember when one could buy one's first car for like a hunnerd bucks cash, and then learn how to work on brakes and radiators and fuel pumps and wheel bearings and stuff (so you could actually drive the thing without hardly killing anyone at all)? Good times. :-)
