The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 16, 2010

Oh that’s it! I’d be so outta there.

What’s a traw?

It’s train, Heidi, but I first thought the same, too.

I’d be stymied. Word problems worst part of math classes for me!

Are aliens who visited the moon so backward that they still have trains?

This is what’s called being lost in space.

We will not fail to solve this problem on my watch! Failure is not an option!

I once took this train to tulsa……..

Always keep a slide rule handy. You never know when the battery’s gonna go on your calculator.

No wonder we never went back!

I hope they train their astronauts how to handle these problems in the future.

Nighthawks, was it on time?

Was that a trip into the past?

“As long as there is injustice, whenever a Targathian baby cries out, wherever a distress signal sounds among the stars, we’ll be there. This fine ship, this fine crew. Never give up… and never surrender.”

My God, is there no where in the whole universe to ESCAPE those DA_ N THIINGS?

Where is are the logarithim tables? A slide rule does not usually stand alone.

Slide rules are based on logarithms. Youi can use most slide rules to find logs.

The square root of (A+B)/C

Now it’s been a while since I took analytical geometry, but I certainly do not recall “words, no math”, since we used linear and quadratic equations (just as an example) which I believe qualify as math. How do we plot parabolas, hyperbolas and cones without math? Even trig figured in at times - no math? Very strange statement, as far as I’m concerned…
