We've all had times when conversation dissolves into oddities but my math class seems to have a real talent for them, here are just a few of the gems...
If two negatives multiply to make a positive, I know how to bring people back from the dead!
How?
Well we just need to find a way to multiply two dead people together!
Well, when two people have a kid, that's kind of like multiplication, but dead people can't get pregnant....
I want the calculator poster!
Said by a student lacking homework to the teacher checking,
Don't draw on my paper!
It's called writing
Said by the teacher
And that's why two is equal to one
A peculiar train of thought
I can see your window from here!
Is that fire?
Why is there are screaming squirrel on a skateboard screaming for help?
Is that pigeon playing medic?
Wow, that is so unbelievably wrong
... I think I need a new room
You have to turn the computer on first
And the current winner
How would a robot even play strip poker?
I think these are best left unexplained...
Weird things said in Gen A maths

On the subject of ponies....
Okay, not really... that was just for Nick.
Yay! I am homewards bound tomorrow! I wanted to discuss some Maths. I am angered on many points mathwise.
Cause of Anger One
The variability of variables. I have gone to American International Schools most of my life and enjoyed a fairly constant notation system in spite of jumping back and forth between years and missing long division. As soon as I returned to Australia however I am told that Pythagorean Theory states that in a triangle
a^2+b^2=H^2
Now what on earth is this? Every good kid knows it should be
a^2+b^2=c^2
This not only sounds better but makes more sense. However next thing you know your teacher is introducing 3D pythag and it becomes
a^2+b^2+c^2=d^2
And now neither starting equation is very elegent! What is going on? Have americans gone even more insane than usual or is there just a differant american way of doing things?
Don't even get me started on Trig.
More anger later

Wooo New Templates!
Well I finally have a semi functional template I can use at school which is nice.
If all goes well sometime in the near future I will be migrating to a private server thanks to Nick! Yay! I must do a post on his awesomeness some time soon!
We have house swimming tomorrow which should be pretty cool, I'm not swimming but I in charge of cheering! WOOO! If there was ever a job for me this is it!
I had a ride on the new horse today which went surprisingly well really. It's nice to be able to trot around outside and areana without the fear of death in me! I'll put up some photos of her soon!
Well I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of the new templates!
Toodles!

An oser follover!
Woo, I now introduce...
Morgan
She is insane. In so many ways. Not as much as me but quite alot. Hehe. It is fun. She was in almost every hike group with me last year... Strange expiriances! Always good for a sing-a-long she was the pack horse of the group, carring just about every essential without (excessive) complaint! So firstly thanks for the carring and secondly thanks for the insanity!
She is also fully versed in the temper tantrum. Man Morgan, if this was star wars you would TOTALLY be a sith. No jokes man, she coulda turned one on Palpatine on the whole anger issue. It's kinda awesome to watch actually....
In a terrifingly morbid way

School.....
Wow, back at school .... so not cool. Sorry for not writing much over the holidays but I was faced with a terrible life consuming addiction....
World of Warcraft.
Tehe, I started a guild called to Time Lords and left it with a mate, I nearly won a lvling contest with a lvl 80 preist and I got hit on by guys in different time zones... strange world!
Did you know the different types of quarks are called
- up
- down
- charm
- top
- bottom
- strange
How cool is that?
