Now that we've had some distance from the horrors...I used to wonder how we came up with the heart symbol. You know, like this. [He holds up both hands, thumbs and forefingers pressed together to form a <3 shape.] Doesn't look remotely like a real heart, so it had to come from somewhere.
It started with a fig or ivy leaf - if you squint, you can see it here-- [he holds up a book, and on one page, a fig leaf; he flips forward a few pages, and shows an ivy leaf] See? People were using these in art, as early as...I think the third millennium B.C.E., and by the middle ages, people had turned a leaf into a symbol of romantic, courtly love.
[He shrugs, then reaches forward - not to the device, but to his computer. He fiddles for a moment, then pulls the communicator down so that it gets a view of his computer screen.]
This is a cardioid. Actually, you could call it a lot of things, but it boils down to math being romantic. Happy Valentine's Day, I guess, a little late.
[And a couple hours later, he will add with none of the earlier levity,] David's disappeared. I assume his friends already realized. I'm sorry I didn't say something sooner.
[Private to Regina]
So...Can we just forget that whole thing happened?
[Private to Cissie]
Two years ago today. [Why yes, he's being vague to catch your attention.]

You know what, I don't want to know. You've made your point.

Although I'm pretty sure that went badly for the Mathter. [He is trying very hard not to smile when he says that. :C]
Private
Oh geez. It'd be almost worth visiting home for the nostalgia value of throwing that loser in jail for the billionth time. See if he's come up with any new puns in the last five years.

Probably has some interesting pick up lines, though. And I do meant horrible.

I'm pretty sure even Condiment King has talked to at least a couple women.
