Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

I am trying to put develop a Bible based mathmatics class. Here's the first word problem:

Johnny goes to hear Jebus preach. Johnny knows that Jebus in fundamentalist and can ramble on and on and on, so he packs a lunch. He has one loaf and one fish. At lunch time, Jebus asks Johnny to share his lunch with the 1000 other people, who did not bring anything to eat. How much will of the loaf and the fish will each person get?

Answer: Everyone will get one loaf and one fish. Can I get an Amen?

I am hoping to get the new math system, called "Intelligent Math," finished for the next Kansas board of education reveiw.

As Joel Robinson used to say, "What do you think, sirs?"
