Product Of Rings
In mathematics, it is possible to combine several rings into one large product ring. This is done as follows: if I is some index set and Ri is a ring for every i in I, then the cartesian product Πi in I Ri can be turned into a ring by defining the operations coordinate-wise.
The resulting ring is called a direct product of the rings Ri. The direct product of finitely many rings coincides with the direct sum of rings.

—Al Capp (1909–1979)
“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses.

Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“You held my hand
and were instant to explain
the three rings of danger.”
