Hi!

Am fairly new to this community and just thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself and say “hello”.

I am here to learn & get involved. How could I best contribute?

Cheers!

PS: – I am attempting to locate a long lost friend by the name of Rhett Aderholt, Where could I search for him?

MC Escher was the Worst Rapper Ever

“Yo yo yo, my rhymes be ill, my words be crass
don’t get up in my grill, I’ll tesselate cho ass!
Bitch, it ain’t mine, don’t get up in my face
or I’ll shove you down an infinite staircase.”

Ahhhh… the only rap song to ever use the Shepard scale.

Programming Pick-Up Lines

You may have heard a few mathematically-inspired, nerdy-as-hell pick-up lines such as “I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.” Until now, you may not have been familiar with their inbred cousins: programming pick-up lines. If you wish to remedy this situation, read on!

Recent Breakthroughs in Fuzzy Mathematics

It is often observed that hindsight is 20/20, and that goes double for science. So, like, 40/40. The existence of gravity, famously observed by Sir Isaac Newton, is sort of a no-brainer in retrospect. So are using rocks to hit things, bottled water, that some things are flammable, and black-white-and-grey television. But all of this pales in comparison to the mighty, profound DUH! going through the mathematics community in light of recent discoveries in the field of fuzzy math.

Apparently I Don’t Know Anything About Comedy, Or Anything Else For That Matter

Until I met my sister’s boyfriend, I thought I knew comedy. I had somehow been under the false impression that, from time to infrequent time, I wrote a bit of it myself. Just a little, you know, on the side, nothing much. Certainly not an article every three days or so. (Where did I get a crazy idea like that?) That paradigm has all shifted, now that I’ve met Brad, and now I truly understand that I just simply am not funny.

Report: $870 Million Wasted Per Year on Addition-Only Math Education

A study conducted over the course of the past year discovered that there were no differences in division-by-zero errors between a control group taught no math and a test group taught that addition was the only way to change a number. “It clearly just doesn’t work,” said math teacher Jane Michaelson, shaking her head. “We should just acknowledge that kids are going to multiply occasionally, and we need to give them the tools and knowledge to do it safely.”

Oh, You Support the Electoral College? How Quaint, You’re An Idiot.

Also Known As, The Longest Motherfucking Corner Essay Ever

There are a number of arguments for and against the Electoral College, and yet there are not two legitimate sides to the debate, because every one of the losing side’s arguments belies borderline mental retardation. In every claim about what the system does, E.C. supporters are flat wrong, by empirical fact. And in every claim about why what it actually does is a good thing, they are nothing less than clinically delusional.
