Very funny. (By the way, x=5. And I didn't even have to resort to the Pythagorean theorem. Gotta love those 3-4-5 right triangles.)
And now for something completely different...
If I ever get around to writing a screenplay set in a high school, I'm going to include troubadours roaming the walkways. Why? Because it's true to my experience.
(Troubadour may not be the correct term, but it evokes the feeling, so I'm keeping it.)
In the same class as the boy wearing that t-shirt, another boy had his guitar. As there is a guitar class on campus, I'm used to seeing students toting around guitars. And seeing them playing guitar as they walk from class to class. Sometimes they try to play guitar in class.
Normally, I stop this. They should be doing the assignment for the class they're in, after all. (When I cover the guitar class, I let them play, of course.)
It was near the end of the period, and the class was behaving acceptably. The boy was finished with the assignment, so I didn't stop him when he got out his guitar. The other students said it soothed them, so I let him play for a bit.
He wasn't bad. At least he didn't play the same lick over and over again.
Then the period ended.
I was thinking about that cartoon earlier today. It's one of my favourites, ever. And I did have to use the Pythagorean Theorem the first time I tried to figure it out. :(
