Go, Donna! (Or if it still doesn’t work out, you can always come up here.)

McElroy, Bachman, McElroy, Bachman …

Ah, what the Hell — I’m in Arizona, so it’s not like I can point fingers.

I don’t have a problem with an asteroid the size of Texas hitting the earth, as long as it actually hits Texas.

Don’t you understand the spiritual significance of the number 3? God is 3 persons that are all the same. Jesus died on a Friday evening and 3 days later on Sunday morning he arose. The circle’s circumferance is 3 times as long as its diameter. Etc. Can’t you see that it’s all spiritually interconnected??? It is at the heart of Christianity!

If we were to allow schools to teach that Ï? is what mathematicians say it is, kids would be learning that the heart of Christianity is … irrational! Obviously math doesn’t have all the answers. Our children need to be taught the strengths and weaknesses of arithmetic “theory”.

How sadly disappointed I was.

I’d like to motion that we have “avid discussion” to take place in math classrooms about whether pi is equal to 3.141[….], and strike that language and replace it with “current theories about the number pi being equal to a little over 3, or ‘almost 3’.”

Chelina Hall: Hey! Pretty boy. Howâ??d you like to go to Texas?

Alan Shore: Iâ??d love to. I havenâ??t had my shots.
