It says: "What does 237 mean?". Maybe he's explaining the theory behind solving some equations. Who knows.Originally Posted by Death BOO Z
There could be a number of things that make that picture not stupid or funny. First off, if he lifted the chalk from the board to write something else, he could have transiently changed his grip on the chalk as he moved it over to write something else. Or, maybe he does use that grip to write. I see no reason why he can't or why it's particularly difficult. I don't hold chalk or write on a vertical surface the same way I hold a pen or write sitting at a desk. Also, the area where the equal sign is looks as if something else was written there before he erased and replaced it with an equal sign, further suggesting that he's just not done.
Of course, he could have also fucked up, but it's not clear enough that he did for that pic to be funny.

its probably written in a different numeral system, you can tell by the way the he "explains" the number 237 in decimal
2x10^2 + 3x10^1 + 7x10^0 = 237
edit: seems to be nonary - if you rewrite it into the decimal system it becomes
37 -> 3x9^1+7x9^0 = 34
2x18 -> 2x (1x9^1 + 8x9^0) = 34

as i humanities student, I'm going to need a better explanation...
a. if you're still using all ten digits, why not stick to the regular expressions?
b. how do you determinate how many times do you bring something up in powers? is it always going from the largest to the smallest?
you are not using ten digits
base2 = 0, 1
base3 = 0,1,2
.....
base9 = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
base10 = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
so "9" in decimal becomes 10 in base 9
and "3" in decimal becomes 11 in base 2
while "4" in decimal becomes 100 in base 2
and "5" in decimal becomes 101 in base 2 <--- 1x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 1x2^0 = 5

You would be appalled out how many stunningly dim people get to go to university in the US. Remedial math classes do in fact cover fractions (which I learned in 2nd grade math). These people go on to become elementary school teachers, English majors, and even Business majors.
I've heard stories of students (business majors) fervently arguing that an infinite slope can't possibly exist on a graph. I've heard boyfriends discuss their girlfriend's (Education major) remedial math classes struggling with word problems involving probability.
It doesn't end with math either. I've had classes with English and Philosophy majors who can't write a coherent five paragraph essay.
Somehow these people graduate and get decent jobs thanks to all the connections they made when they were partying every Thursday night through Monday night.
Oh, I think I get it now.
so '37' has to be in base 8 or above
base10 = 3* 10^1 + 7*10^0 = 37
base 9 = 3*9^1 + 7*9^0= 27 +7 = 34
base 8 = 3*8^1 +7*8^1 =24+7 = 31
and "2*18" can either be 36 (decimal) or "2*9^0" [still 2] * (1*9^1+8*9^0) [9+8=17), and 2*17 is also 34.
so 37 in base9 is twice as much as 18in base9.
headxplode. I gave up on advanced statistics major to pursue political sciences...
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
not sure about what you mean with this part, unless you wanted to say "and 37 in base-9 is also actually 34 in decimal"and "2*18" can either be 36 (decimal) or "2*9^0" [still 2] * (1*9^1+8*9^0) [9+8=17), and 2*17 is also 34.
so 37 in base9 is twice as much as 18in base9.
2x18 in base-9 is 34 if we translate it back to base-10 ----- (2*9^0 = 2) * ( 1*9^1+8*9^0 = 17) = 34
and 37 in base-9 is also 34 if we translate it back to base-10 ----- (3*9^1 + 7*9^0 = 34)
so 2x18=37, both written in base-9, is correct
if you said so, then nevermind :P
you normaly write down the numeral system you used somewhere if I'm not mistaken
so its actually not that .... weird.
it could look somewhat like this: 2x189=379

that link could help, its where I "learned" it from... I did never encounter that during my school days myself, well maybe I did, but I don't remember

Best part is when he trips!
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
I rather like how he thinks he's incognito now that he's covered his face. Nevermind the polkadot pajama pants and what looks like either a giant boner or terrifyingly large tumor emanating from the crotch area...or that distinctive yellowish green jacket overlayed in colorful stamps...or his size and distinctive walk...or the fact that if there was a camera there, he'd already been seen.

He's just fat and wears his pants over his gut.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
My goodness...that is obscene.

Too much?
I think he meant "swagger". Swag is prizes/free stuff and everyone wants that.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
2 out of 10. Not funny and not even very offensive either, just stupid.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
The last line did it for me though.
Well skinny white guy makes a racist joke about black people. We know how that ends.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
His shirt might be the bigger joke, though. If all shirts in the world were as ugly as that, I'd go shirtless like Archie.
