Choco Leibniz: The Best of All Possible Cookies
And if any of you get that joke, freaking congratulations, ’cause no one else has gotten it yet, save Sean.
Holy crap, you guys, you’ll never guess what I found!
So as a break from the insanity that is my Spring Break (at least it’s winding down a little, I think), my mom and I went up to Spokane for the day. Whenever we go to Spokane we make sure to visit Auntie’s bookstore, mainly because it actually has a good selection of books (unlike Hastings) and because you can actually buy things from there (unlike the library, to whom I apparently owe $161, but more on that later).
Today I had the pleasure of finding the book Calculus Wars, which basically describes the entirety of Newton’s and Leibniz’s feud over which one of them first invented* calculus. The fact that I’m reading a book about calculus proves how into Leibniz I really am, people.
But this isn’t the big thing of the day. I thought to myself when I got home, “you need to get some books on Leibniz, woman!” So I got online (Amazon.com), and typed in “Leibniz.”
This is what I found. This was like the fourth item down:
OMG!!
I am so incredibly amazed. I want these cookies. Like, now. I will do anything for these cookies.
In fact, I was so enthralled that I looked them up on Wikipedia. This is what I read:
“The brand name Leibniz comes from the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The only connection between man and biscuit is that Leibniz was one of the more famous residents of Hanover, where the company is based. At the time when the biscuit was first made, there was a fashion for arbitrarily naming products after famous people.”
Dear god, that is funny. I’m so getting my hands on these cookies.
And I could make so many jokes about them with regards to Leibniz’ philosophy, you don’t even want to know.
*Now here’s a thing I’m wondering: they use the verb invented to describe the introduction of the use of calculus. If mathematics (specifically, calculus) is a tool for understanding the universe, if it is the key that we have for unlocking all understanding of all things, why do they say we invented it? Shouldn’t they say, if math indeed explains the fundamental workings of all we could possibly need to understand, that we discovered it, since a tool that explains how things work should already exist and not have to be invented, just discovered? Just a thought…

What you look for in a Boy/Girl. Guy/Woman
Age
Doesn’t matter, really. I’d prefer them to be 19 or older, though. There’s no upper limit.
Height
No preference. As long as they’re not so incredibly tall that it makes it really difficult to kiss.
Weight
Well, unlike the majority of the US population, I like my guys heavy (especially in the middle… ). This seems contradictory, seeing as how I’ve only dated skinny guys. This just proves, though, that I really don’t judge by appearance that much.
Hair color
Again, it doesn’t matter. Though redheads are, I must say, delightfully sexy. Yes, Sean, if you ever read this, that means you.
Hair Length
I really don’t know why I’m answering these questions, because again, I’m going to have to say I don’t care.
Music type
Whatever floats his boat.
Geometry
Scalene! MAKE HIM SCALENE!!!
Attitude
Open-minded. Please, dear god, let him be open-minded. Anything else is fine, I think, but open-mindedness is a must.
Maturity
I need a maturity that matches mine. In other words, a guy who can have the maturity level of a four-year-old one minute, and be able to seriously discuss Leibniz and/or Voltaire and/or both of them the next.
Wee! Told you I’m bored.
