Are You As Thick As.......

[Vito]

For goodness sake...

The sky is not blue...it is all to do with the defragmentation of light from the reflection of the sun off the earth...

And it goes dark quickly because darkness doesn't exist...only the absence of light exists...

And the answer to 1/0...is zero!

Now go and do some work or at the very least raise a question that might challenge us!

only the absence of light exists...

Something that is not there exists?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence y'know...

Something that is not there exists?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence y'know...

Absence can exist providing it is proven in the physical form to be elsewhere...

To be thick as a brick ... by the same author - One White Duck/0 = Nothing at all


Theres a haze on the skyline, to wish me on my way.
And theres a note on the telephone --- some roses on a
Tray.

And the motorways stretching right out to us all,
As I pull on my old wings --- one white duck
On your wall.

Isnt it just too damn real?
Ill catch a ride on your violin --- strung upon your bow.
And Ill float on your melody --- sing your chorus soft
And low.

Theres a picture-view postcard to say that I called.
You can see from the fireplace, one white duck
On your wall.
Isnt it just too damn real?

So fly away peter and fly away paul --- from the
Finger-tip ledge of contentment.
The long restless rustle of high-heeled boots calls.
And Im probably bound to deceive you after all.

Something must be wrong with me and my brain ---
If Im so patently unrewarding.
But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that
Way --- and my zero to your power of ten equals
Nothing at all.

Theres no double-lock defense; theres no chain on my door.
Im available for consultation,
But remember your way in is also my way out, and
Loves four-letter word is no compensation.

Well, Im the black ace dog-handler: Im a waiter on
Skates --- so dont you jump to your foreskin conclusion.
Because Im up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays ---
To be cleared before I can dine on your sweet sunday
Lunch confusion.

Wasn't that a song by Jethro Tull?

Modern secondary school maths teachers?

My mate this week suggested to 15 year old son that he ask his maths teacher the solution to 1/0 (one divided by zero)

What do you think the answer should be?

Secondary teachers still say that some Portugese Bloke called Christopher Columbus discovered America.

Apart from being such a piss poor explorer that he actually managed to confuse it with India, he had a ruddy map - or at least one that can be traced to the Chinese explorers who beat him by a good 70 years. Then of course their are the Vikings who beat them all, arriving Newfoundland and North America in the 11th century. Even they were beaten by a good few thousand years by those who walked over the Bearing Straights and when the Vikings/Chinese et all arrived confusingly described them as Native Americans/Indians.

Wasn't that a song by Jethro Tull?

Yes Thick as a Brick and One White Duck/0 = absolutely nothing were both composed by Ian Anderson

And you ride yourself over the fields
And your new shoes are worn at the heel
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise dont know how it feels

- To be thick - as a Brick ...

Ask Teacher?

hypothesis: if space is curved, is there really such a thing as a straight line?


I wonder if that's the reason i can't see straight right now?

"Well it's that or the scotch"

PS. 1/0 = Typo in Binary.

According to Welsh legend, that man was Prince Madog ab Owain Gwynedd.

A Welsh poem of the 15th century tells how Prince Madoc sailed away in 10 ships and discovered America.

Because of a welsh poem?

Could it have been discovered by the owl and the pussycat instead, in their beautiful pea-green boat?
