[edit] Contributions to Wikipedia

I started editing Wikipedia in December 2006. Mostly I just edit when I see something that needs fixing, like vandalism or spelling errors, or missing redirects. My major contributions include:

Additionally, I often work to improve a number of articles related to Magic: The Gathering.

For a full list of my contributions, see Special:Contributions/Temporarily Insane. It's long, so watch out!

[edit] Pages I've Created

[edit] Random Thoughts

"This statement has no proof" is undecidable. Is it true? Is it false? (Well, if it were false, then it would have a proof, meaning it is true. That's a contradiction, hence it must be true. But that is a proof of the statement, therefore it must be false...)

[edit] Fibonacci Numbers in Magic: The Gathering

Sprouting Phytohydra + Pyrohemia (Either Pestilence or Pyrohemia is acceptable): You start with 1 phytohydra, activate the Pyrohemia, and you get a token, for 2 hydrae. Activate it again, two more are created and the original dies, for 3 total.

I start with F0 (zero) damaged hydrae, and F1 (one) undamaged hydrae, or F2 hydrae in total. In general, when I have Fn damaged hydrae and Fn + 1 undamaged (Fn + 2 total), when I activate Pyrohemia, the damaged ones die, the undamaged ones become damaged, and I get Fn + 2 new hydrae, giving me Fn + 1 + Fn + 2 = Fn + 3 hydrae. Thus, barring external interference, the number of hydrae I have after n activations of Pyrohemia is Fn + 2.
