At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder, said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement.

He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.



"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," the attorney general said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every triangle'."

When asked to comment on the arrest, Vice-President Biden said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes!!!"

Whatza trillion dollars look like?



Here's a link that shows exactly what a trillion dollars looks like compared to the average American. You'll find it interesting and at the same time maddening just how our elected leaders toss that kind of $$$ around- like they are nickels and dimes.
