Only for a circle centered at (0, 0).

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 is the generic formula for a circle: the center is (a, b) and the radius is r.

Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

I think the real difference would be if your uncle is really named Jack.

One of the most frightening sound to humans is the buzzing of a bee's wings and one of the most disturbing is the sound of a hog being slaughtered. The Exorcist interjected both of theses sounds throughout the movie but always sped up or slowed down.

there may have been others slated for release before Red Dawn that were rated PG-13 but may have been delayed or re cut to avoid the rating.


Red Dawn was the first to hit the theaters with the PG-13 rating
