It turns out there is a way to minimally dilate a generator of a Cuntz-Krieger algebera. That's fantastic!

I, too, prefer my Cuntz-Krieger minimally dilated

Eh, this don't have nothin' on The Sun, Our Shiny Friend. (http://francis.williams.edu/search/cQB3+.W5+1992+R43/cqb++++3+w5+1992+r43/-2%2C-1%2C0%2CE/frameset&FF=cqb++++3+w5+1992+r43&1%2C1%2C)

Is this like when Calvin wrote a book report on Dick and Jane that he had apparently run through an Infitite Pretention Engine (aka my company's "HR" department)?

Actually, I've been told that the thesis itself is competent enough. The story behind it is that the author worked with a fairly prominent astronomy professor here who, in addition to being an internationally-prominent astronomer, is also a Pat-level dick. The student got pretty fed up (dull surprise) and, as revenge, changed the title to "The Sun, Our Shiny Friend" between the prof's final approval and submitting the thesis to the library. Much like the case of scurvy here, it's a story I would have expected to be an urban legend were the evidence of it not obvious. Maybe I'll check it out this summer.

How could one live with the name "Cuntz?"
Preferably in a non-English speaking country.
Without access to the Internet.
Or telephones.

Plus it wouldn't hurt to look like Bolo Yeung (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001866/) (Bloodsport, Enter the Dragon).

Ironic that his IMDB profile has no picture, though.
For those of you not knowing, Bolo (http://images.google.com/images?q=Bolo%20Yeung&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi)

What if this mathematician Cuntz wrote a paper with the Chinaman mathematician Wang?
The Cuntz-Wang hypothesis would rock the mathematical world.
EDIT: There is a Belgian Mathematician Jacques Tits. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Tits)
CUNTZ-TITS!!!

It's motherfuck*ng Chong Li!
I actually knew a girl in college who had the last name Kuntz. Pronounced "Koontz." She got married shortly after college and took her husband's name. Big surprise, there.
Our mathemeticians could also hang out with Cleveland Indians pitching coach Dick Pole.

You could have just said S.P.H.N.T.A.S.T.F.G. and we would have known what you meant.
We're not babies.

I actually really like that; it sounds sort of like a variant on "fantastic": sphantastfg! Or maybe not so much.

Knew a dude with the last name Kuntz, pronounced "CUNTS." He would correct you, because of course you would say "Koontz."

I have a little bit less sympathy for guys named "Dick," because by and large they could just go by "Richard" or one of its many other socially-acceptable nicknames if they really wanted to. The best of these I've seen lately was a finance company that was attempting to recruit on my campus -- "Dick Flood Financial Services," run by the eponymous Mr. Flood. It was all I could do to keep from making money shot jokes all week.

It sounds like a fairly credible late 1970's After School Special too. A very sincere effort by Meredith Baxter-Birney and David Birney to educate us about this social issue, with help from Kristy McNichol and maybe Greg Evigan.
Remember Greg Evigan (http://timstvshowcase.com/bj.html)?

OK, sorry, but I didn't start this game.
There is a realtor in the Tucson area named Dick Surges. Google it, but skip the first couple sites.
Dick isn't such a bad name, I think.
Edit: That is, it's normal enough that when I hear it I don't think of a c*ck, unless it's combined with Surges. Then, frankly, I think of a boner or ejaculation. I CAN'T HELP IT.

I have a picture of a realtor's office. Her name is Bonnie Jo Morecock.
That's right. BJ Morecock realty.
I will get a scanner one of these days.

This one isn't sexual but it always makes me laugh: Wilma P. Mankiller Health Center. There must be a Dr. Payne there. I will extremely disappointed in the universe if there isn't a Dr. Payne.

If we're making with the genitalia jokes, I guess I have to post this picture:
