Mathematical Limerick

I found this outrageous poem and had such a chuckle (whooped and hollered, actually) that I had to share it!

I showed it to my son, for whom math has not been coming easily and has been working on polynomials and quadratic equations this summer in preparation for college. His comment? “I don’t like that. No. I don’t like that.”

Yes, I know, poetry was not meant to be used this way. 😉

Humorous image for geeks

And if you enjoy this kind of thing, there’s a fun video called “Strange Charm” (but not about computers) in a previous post at http://wp.me/s2ajxN-videos.

Humorous videos moment: 50 Jokes in 4 minutes

…and if you are a geek you will understand nearly all of them. Oh, and don’t show this to your kids unless you have watched this first as some are not what you want kids retelling (sorry, I don’t get to pick the jokes).

Oh, alright, here are some more, but remember, you wanted them so don’t blame me (and the same above caveat applies)

And for those who love nerdy/geek jokes and don’t know where to find them (forewarned, some are a bit salacious, but that’s nerds for you)

Oh, and sorry about the other YouTube junk that shows up at the end of the videos (I wish it was avoidable…). I suppose I could download them, trim and re-upload them to WordPress, but this is a free account and I believe there are storage limits.

Back to unpacking – it was a nice extended weekend vacation in a place where there is no cell coverage or internet – I should probably  do that more often.

Geek humor

OK, I confess, I am a bit of a geek at heart, which is ironic because I was not inclined toward math or science in school. My classmates would likely find that confession surprising for these are the kind of things I would probably have done in high school if I had even understood it that well! Nevertheless, as a homeschool mom I have taught myself/learned some interesting stuff, and look what it has done to me.
