Title text: Cauchy-Lorentz: "Something alarmingly mathematical is happening, and you should probably pause to Google my name and check what field I originally worked in."
The text accompanying the piecewise plot is missing an ending quotation mark.

An image search brings up plenty more opportunities for suspicious fitting - B-spline, devil's curve (if you can present your data in polar) - and the occasional guide on how to dress for one's body shape.

Is there a trick to the hidden text punchline? Lorentz was in theoretical physics, especially electromagnetism. Cauchy was a civil engineer working on a canal for Napoleon. Neither seem especially disreputable.

Please do not post any links or perform any form of self-promotion until you have a post count of at least five. We have our reasons. Not all spammers are bots, and it can be hard to tell the difference between somebody pointing out somebody else's cool webpage, somebody advertising out their cool webpage, or someone posting malicious links. Because of this, if you have any links in your first post, the entire post will be deleted. Also, pushing your post count up to five with useless posts and then posting your link and vanishing will go over poorly.
“But my link was relevant to the conversation and I think by post was blocked without a moderator even reading it!”
Oh. Gosh. Whatever shall we do. A moderator didn’t read an entire post before blocking it. Gosh. If only there were rules explaining this that should have been read first. Gee golly. What a shame.
That said, there is a list of acceptable and unacceptable words or fragments that first time posters can and cannot use. www will be immediately flagged as spam, as will .com or http. This means that if you fail to hit space between a period and the word commence, it will be blocked as spam as it hits the ".com" flag. You will get a message stating "This message has been flagged as spam and has been blocked" if you attempt to do so. This will go away once you have a few posts under your belt. We do apologize for this inconvenience, but your momentary inconvenience is outweighed by our convenience of not having to block 500+ spam messages a day.
And no, the list of blocked words will not be made public.
