Teacher Arrested

[villarule 2]

At New York's Kennedy Airport today, an individual later discovered to be a NYC public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, protractor, set square, slide rule and calculator.

At a morning press conference, a White House spokesman said authorities believe the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. The man is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of maths instruction.

Al-Gebra is a fearsome cult, the spokesman said.

They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute value.

They use secret code names like `x' and `y' and refer to themselves as unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of mediaeval, with co-ordinates in every country.

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are three sides to every triangle.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, If God had wanted us to have better weapons of maths instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.

As does yours.

Personally, I'm a fan of Al Gebra. In fact, I was off on a tangent searching for absolute values just this morning!!

You know what they say. Tan:11 may equal 0.194380309, but Tan:0.194380309 doesnt equal 11!

Uh huh...
You actually had me going there for a second...
And then I got all confused on the ruler, protractor, set square, slide rule and calculator. bit.
Then I got rarther worried on the When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, If God had wanted us to have better weapons of maths instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes. part
And then I worked it was a joke when everyone started LOLing.

I have always been an adherent of Al Gebr. This cult consistently makes something from simple assumptions and let me tell you the whole is definitely greater than the part. Further, dividing by zero (invented by Al Gebr) definitely breaks the arithmetic machine. This causes the whole business to be undefined.

Now if you are taking this seriously, I suggest that if you had a ones complement performed on you the result would be all one bits.

[vidioman 21]

I LOVE dividing by zero!

The weirest things happen!

  Well, one thing that gave it away was the word maths, which I have never heard an American use.   Over here, at least back when I was in school, that word is singular.  Never knew it could be plural until I started talking with European students.  Just one of those little quirks in the language as it mutates across the pond.

I was always wondering why the Al-Gebra teachers would attempt to smite me if I disrespected their great book. Also, they would threaten me with more smiting if I did not do my assignments 5 times a day! Tis brainwashing, I tell ya!

My teacher also called me an infidel for liking geometry more than algebra...

[Duke87 1,070]

WTF???

Okay, that was stupid.

[MayorTim 16]

I had a chuckle.

Funniest thing I have heard all day.

[Abc987 3]

If i didn't know better, I would've though this was true considering our sucky goverment. (No offense to those who agree to this goverment). Anyway, i think this is hillarious!!!

[Superstar 69]

Nice one...lol

Crap .. but funny

[SamFlash 0]

Pretty amusing.  We all need a chuckle now and then.

Chuck Norris can do anything with a roundhouse kick to the face. I wish I had a lever like Conan so I could show everyone the power of the Delta Force.

Well, it depends. The subject is mathematics, and it is plural, so who is right. When I was in high school in Canada, in my last year I took three maths. Of course, being Canadian, we tend to be cameleons on this.


As for Chuck Norris, I'll just call in Rainbow Six and his boys.

Chuck Norris can not only divide by zero, but he can round-house kick those repeating decimals and imaginary numbers into freaking natural integers, man!

That's wasn't very nice of your teacher. I think you should have used your famous catch phrase and said, silence knave!

What's this? Math is threatening our freedom? Weapon's of mass instruction!

And while we're on a Chuck Norris tangent there's a funny website that generates facts about him called Random Facts About Chuck Norris. Has anyone read these? Here's a few.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding
And to stay on topic, Chuck Norris can divide by zero
