Leave jdub out of this, he has applied every single patch I have ever

Is Parker-san capable of PhD level research in English?
And, no, the patch did not change tractors to have square wheels,
although that is a natural generalisation for non-euclidean geometries.
Can't you work your email? It was the patch that added some aesthetic
enhancements, such as
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the tractor,
When I take you out in the tractory with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will
pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.

Well, it did make e**(i*pi)-1 changes to the leading coefficient in the
tractor mechanics fundamental theorem, but other than that, nothing
significant.

I am utterly familiar with the principals, and besides, ascii doesn't
have square wheels, see
http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/www/comp/docs/ascii.html
Although there are some good candidates in extended ascii, see
http://www.lookuptables.com/
But I fail to see what this has got to do with my patch.
Do you have the patch package installed?
