I have a proposition for you all.

I will pay for your cruise if you come to my house to clean it plus get a family reunion barbaque ready for this Saturday. Any takers?

This is not being offered to Kim or Eliene. If I were going to pay for a suite then I want to stay in that suite!

 

[goofyforlife]

ok that would be Lisa's DS.... He needs to be challenged so we need to bring him into the big kids math class.

 

[Jhalkias]

Just had to share this one. The Tom Cruise banana!!!

Doesn't look like scientology to me

So does DrHug. Lucky we don't live closer or he'd probably be over for that!

I found this one and just had to laugh.... I thought I could adjust it for Lisa, but I can't figure out how to change the wording...

Too bad all those little guys are not all lime green!

"American Pi"
(new lyrics by Lawrence Mark Lesser
may be sung to the tune of" American Pie," by Don McLean)
in The Mathematics Teacher May 2000

Chorus:
Find, find the value of pi, starts 3 point 1 4 1 5 9.
Good ol' boys gave it a try,
but the decimal never dies,
the decimal never dies. ...

In the Hebrew Bible we do see
the circle ratio appears as three,
And the Rhind Papyrus does report
four-thirds to the fourth,
& 22 sevenths Archimedes found
with polygons was a good upper bound.
The Chinese got it really keen:
three-five-five over one thirteen!
More joined the action
with arctan series and continued fractions.
In the seventeen hundreds, my oh my,
the English coined the symbol pi,
Then Lambert showed it was a lie
to look for rational pi.
He started singing. ..(Repeat chorus)

Late eighteen-hundreds, Lindemann shared
why a circle can't be squared
But there's no tellin' some people-
can't pop their bubble with Buffon's needle,
Like the country doctor who sought renown from a
new "truth" he thought he found.
The Indiana Senate floor read his bill that made pi four.
That bill got through the House with a vote unanimous!
But in the end the statesmen sighed, "It's not for us to
decide,"
So the bill was left to die like the quest for rational pi.
They started singing. ..(Repeat chorus)

That doctor's pi in the sky dreams
may not look so extreme
If you take a look back:
math'maticians long thought that
Deductive systems could be complete and there was
one true geometry.
Now in these computer times,
we test the best machines to find
pi to a billion places that so far lack pattern's traces.
It's great when we can truly see math as human
history-
That adds curiosity. ..easy as pi!
Let's all try singing. ..(Repeat chorus)

This is just SAD!!!
