It's amazing how large a portion of our population that is!

I'm gonna get hosed hard for this one...

JoeyB · 06-16-2003, 07:16 PM

That seems like a high number.

(Sure, I'll play along. Why not? Life is short.)

it's when you break a bone in half or something to that effect.

That and most people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". Point-in-fact, they're actually pronounced differently, too, so you can tell that a person doesn't know the difference when they pronounce both the same.

7/5 as a proper fraction is 1 2/5

/me thinks he'll go get a piece of pi...

Meridae'n · 06-17-2003, 04:03 AM

Does that number allow for a inherent stupidity varience?

Loki · 06-17-2003, 04:19 AM

5/2's of me agrees with that statement.

This reminds me of the idiot peacenik protestor who said that we killed 70 billion Iraqi civilians.

Did anybody else see that guy on MSNBC? It was a really short clip from a while ago, but it was hilarious.

And sadly true (not his statements, but the fact that he was actually making them.)

That reminds me of a joke....... President Bush and Colin Powell walk into a bar, the surprised bartender says "It's great to meet you two but what are you doing here?" "Well, we're planning WWIII..... we're going to kill lots of innocent civilians and one blonde with big tits." The bartender asked "Why kill a blonde with big tits?" Bush turned to Powell and said "See, I told you no one would worry about the civilians"

It's a good thing that pizzas and pies exist, otherwise how the hell would teachers teach fractions?
