Transcript:
Rat: So then you just take the two. Add it to the five, and ta-daaaaa...you get seven. Pig: Wow! Goat: What are you guys doing? Rat: Explaining Einstein's theory of relativity to Pig. Goat: That's basic math. Rat: Please don't ruin the mystique I have among my dumber friends. Pig: So have you won a nobel prize?

The key to successful megalomania: surround yourself with stupid people.

He says it’s a Nobel Prize, but it’s actually a chocolate coin.

If Rat was at my school, he would feel better than Einstein. Of course, too much smarts can have you beaten up.

Sorry Pig, he won’t be getting a Nobel prize until he proves 7 × 13 = 28

makes me think of Better Than I Am by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. Check it out on YouTube, comedic genius.

The rest of them will be humbly asking Trixie to take their place in the tether match like Jesus did that time.

“Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels.”- Space.com, Feb. 11, 2016

“So, Baldrick, let’s try this again. It’s called adding. If I have two beans and then I add two more beans, what do I have?”“Some beans.”…

I had a math teacher in junior high that would say 2*X=4 and X is not 2, figure out the problem. After that I transferred to general math and gave up on algebra.

I have the Spanish next to the English version. Translates pretty literally, but the sound effects are interesting. “Ta-daaaa” is “taraan,” and “wow” is “guau.” Lots of languages can’t easily begin words with certain vowels but need a sort of “starting block” (the g sound) to push off from.

When I was little me and my Mum used to go through my times tables every morning on the way to school.
I think I’ll always have trouble with dividing though. Oh and Algebra.

Goat is a know-it-all busybody (like many politicians). He should leave Rat to his lessons for poor, ignorant Pig, who is clearly benefitting from Rat’s “brilliance,” Nobel Prize or no!

Basic math is 10 + 9 = 21.
