There’s perks to every job I guess.

There are few things as complex as urinal etiquette. Girls may not understand, and apparently some guys don’t either. Every stance is for a specific reason, so here’s my list:

The classic: Just getting business done, not wanting to make any eye contact

The creep: Looking for conversation. Also loves comparative literature, if you know what I mean.

The power stance: Most often used when the individual lack he required balance for the classic, also to make sure no one gets the urinal next to them

The distancer: Most likely threw the discus in college

The lean: Definite prostate problems

The overconfident: No one told the guy when he was five that this is not actually how things are supposed to work

The freebird: Don’t talk to this guy, a head shift equals yellow shoes/pants

The bashful: Stage Fright.

It’s been a few weeks since the last math geek comic, so here it is.

Math theory lesson #1: (stop reading here if a jokes explanation will ruin it for you… so, now!)

i is the square root of -1; An imaginary number which geometrically is found on the vertical axis of the complex number plane, allowing them to be presented orthogonal to the real axis. It also presents usefulness in calculating AC linear phase, and in script-based programming languages for many different applications. You may not use imaginary numbers to, say, quantify the weight of that brisket you just bought, you would use fractions of numbers. So you would use imaginary numbers in quantifying data in regards to signal processing, or control theory.

LESSON OVER, you may continue to read.

Imagine your own number now. Now imagine that number eating bacon. mmmmm… bacon…

It seems that there are about fifteen summits held every week. The G-8, G-7, G-12, G-unit… I guess it would make more sense just to e-mail each other rather than travel to Turkmenistan to have a conference in which all countries agree to some platitudes, and waste thirty seconds in my day when I listen to the news about it.

The Gentlemen from Lickskillet (http://conservativehq.com/lickskillet) is a decidedly conservative political cartoon, while this definition leads to boredom, they too are funny.

So I’ve wondered if blacks from Britain who come to the US get pissed if someone tries to be politically correct and calls them an African-American. I’ve also wondered if Indigenous Australians or in non-PC terms, Aborigines, get insulted by the same.

I also wonder why I don’t get belly button lint even though I’m rather portly and wear lots of cotton.
