Also @mwsapphire , you keep using the acronym "UW" to mean "upward". I'm sure there are plenty of huskies and badgers who get verrrry confused every time you do.

I guess I'll stop.
But, Huskies? Badgers? Are those sports teams?

They are the mascots for the University of Washington and University of Wisconsin, respectively.

Councidentally enough, that's the old logo for Washington and that version of the husky is colloquially known as "the flying badger"

This is both hilarious and sad: A Neuroscientist Just Tricked 4 Dodgy Journals Into Accepting a Fake Paper on 'Midi-Chlorians'
Somebody submitted a paper on midichlorians to a whole bunch of journals and it actually got accepted by 4 of them. They basically took the Wikipedia article on mitochondria and changed it to be about midichlorians, with a bunch of Star Wars quotes and references thrown in.

@Lawper @Matthew9Thirtyfive

Maybe I'm just being dense, but is there a decent way to diagram a set C=A∪B st A∩B=∅?

All I can think of is making a pie chart-shaped thing with half A and half B and just putting a bold outline around the outside border with an arrow pointing to it that says "C"

What does st mean? A∩B=∅ means there is nothing in common to both, while C=A∪B means what's in C = what's in A + what's in B. So having both is two circles attached to each other with no intersection/overlap and C is the border and shaded regions of A and B.

At least in probability, P(C) = P(A)+P(B)

I was more referring to a set diagram. I actually think I answered my own question though. It seems that the convention in set diagrams is that the containing set needs not to be the same visual size of the contained set, even if the two sets are equal.
 
Anybody interested in some challenge problems? There's a pretty cool story behind them. Well is not as much cool as it is terrible, but it is interesting.
