Guest tnr105 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 That would make a great Law and Order episode: Cabot: You were found red handed with the Murder Weapon Me: I don't know how the knife got in my pants pocket, I swear! It was a wily Englishman I met on the internets who killed Megan Fox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 You know what's awesome...my tax return is something like 4k this year. Oh yes. I'm looking at probably half that, but still more than enough to get a new TV. I have to walk by it in the window every time I run to the store. It'll be great when I can finally leave with it. I just got £700 back. Very welcome now that I'm studenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I got 85 last year. Which is awesome as I only worked full time in the summer of 07, and drips and drabs till last summer. I should have some good news on the 1st of February. Which I cannot wait to shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Getting a about 640 back from the IRS. Between that and the refund from my grants and scholarship, I should have enough for any of the early year cons coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just found $20 in my pants pocket. No idea where it came from, but now I can order some more trades. I think you'll find that's mine. I lost £20 out of my pocket a couple of weeks ago. I know that you've got $20 there but I figure it must have shrunk in the wash. I just found 20 bucks on the ground .

I'm going to put a small child in my washer. If two end up in yours, Stavros, then we have success. If not, well, hopefully my neighbor isn't too attached.

Guest tnr105 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well suavestar may because, well, he's suavestar. Now if he start taking bubble baths... that's another story. I also don't need to think about hearty Scotsmen washing themselves. Now I have a picture of the Scotsmen from Samurai Jack all naked. Eww.

Dread Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 An email was spread around the school today with a password protected XCel spreadsheet and the following to figure out the password: If: 2 + 3 = 10 7 + 2 = 63 6 + 5 = 66 8 + 4 = 96 Then: 9 + 7 = ????? The email says you need an IQ of at least 120 to get it (which I doubt) but I got it in about thirty seconds. It took two math teachers half an hour. They hate me now.

slothian Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah, that took me a minute. This worries me about Canadian maths teachers.... Good news! I got my 1st choice work placement for April-June within the government's North East museum education programme. In no way am I expecting any kind of response to this, as it's fairly obscure, but that's going to keep me happy until at least June!

Dread Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think math teachers want to break everything down into an equation. whereas I look at it for a few seconds and see that the sum is the product of the sum and the first number.

KnightWing Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 It took me about two minutes, mostly because I assumed right from the start that it was an algebraic equation rather than what it actually was. Ran around in a couple of mental circles before I figured out that I'd been doing it wrong. One of my best buds, a math teacher, got frustrated at it because it specifically looks like a type of high-level mathematical problem involving proofs and variables.

Professor Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think math teachers want to break everything down into an equation. I really want to argue, but I cannot. And that makes me a little sad inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolette Opal Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 My short story "Eleventeen" went live today. And I fucking love the art they included, and the intro editor Miracle Jones wrote, and just everything about aligning myself with a lit outfit that sells this. Enjoy. But the accompanying illustration (at least the first one) may be NSFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
