An inspiredand hilarious mathematical take on the terrorist infested times that we live in; sent to me by a friend.
New
YorkA public school teacher was arrested today at John F Kennedy International Airport, as he attempted to board a flight, while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying
weapons of math
instruction. “Al-gebra is a problem for us,” Gonzalez said.” They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a 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 medi-evil with coordinates 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 math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes. White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President.
