A 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 compass, an ancient wooden device called a “slide-rule” and a calculator
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder 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,” the Attorney General said. “Al-Gebra has terrorized many young people for years. They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns,’ but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.”
As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, “There are 3 sides to every triangle.'” When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.”
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The arabs started Al-Gebra over a thousand years ago. It amounted to zero.

Shows what Obama knows. God or something gave many humans 32 teeth for counting and biting.
How many bits in a 32-bit word?
32.00
I rest my case.
Given a little fiddling around with bases, you can get a whole lot of computation out of the mouths of mere children.
Obama, while slow, is a willing learner.

Ceteris paribus laws.
Blame the Romans.
IV = XVI/IV, for example.
