Orthodox jews' spit

Meanwhile, the other kind of orthodox religious folk (Orthodox Jews this time), decided that an 8-year old girl going to religious school in the town of Beit Shemesh, Israel, was immodestly dressed and spat on her.
They also want women to walk at different sides of the road than men.

Oh, I love religion, especialy the *orthodox* kind (jews, christians, etc.)

    It's actually even worse -- the girls being spat on are the Orthodox ones -- the ones doing the spitting are the "Ultra-Orthodox" for whom the girls' orthodoxy isn't orthodox enough!

    There is no limit to the irrationality of religon. The funny thing is that both groups probably use the same principles or texts as justification for their actions.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line
