I had a friend in high school who was obsessed with magic squares. I'd not given the topic a second thought in 20 years until about 3 days ago when I was reading an article about relationships of magic squares to encryption and model languages. It's just one of those wierd little coincidences.
I added up the following: Math+Chess+Magic Squares+Encryption+Constructed Languages
The sum was "Chris, you are so frikken lucky that you are already married."
