Gawd, tonight spoke to me about math |
|
Yes, verily or whatever, a voice did come to me with revelation and epiphany… in regard to Gawd’s holy word and dictate “Be fruitful, and multiply .”
Under the dogma of taking every word literally, that means we are to give up addition, subtraction, division and most of all quadratic equations.
No more messing about with polynomials, whole and partial integers, no more mucking about with quantum equations and non-real (complex) numbers…..
Nosirrebob… from now on the U.S. of A. educational system will limit itself to MULTIPLICATION…
So all together now
1 x 1 is one 1 x 2 is two 1 x 3 is four,
er…five,
Oh hell!

3. I'd become a fundie for that! |
|
Can I get out of my calc and algebra classes because it is against my faith to do anything but multiply? :shrug:

you could always report him to the religious police.
PS. Be sure and put a sticker in the front of the calc text, stating the multiplication edict.
