PS if you are around Cambridge at 5.30 on Monday May 19th, and have nothing better to do, there's an inaugural lecture on that might be fun.

Excellent lecture with lots of thought provoking stuff, loved the audience participation. Was thinking the look on the suppliers face when the university maths department put in a bulk order for the 200+ dice.

Look forward to all the new stuff appearing on the site.

I agree. It was great fun, but with plenty to think about.
How about 'Agnosticology' for the missing word?

Ben, thanks for the suggestion for the new discipline concerned with the study of lack of knowledge. Others suggested "nescience", which I rather like.
