TI 8300+: Calculator of the Future!

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 17:00:45 -0400

When you send your kid to school, he may need one of these: TI – 8300+

A) Screen – Newer, wider, more superdupermegapixels than ever before. Built in camera and viewfinder helps you quickly snap that shot of Kelly Simpson's cleavage while she's not looking. Note: superdupermegapixels do not protect against Kelly's boyfriend, Todd, punching you in the neck.

B) Ultracylon compounding laser – One never knows when the heliotrons will descend upon our school. Also, Todd's about to punch your neck.

R U Ready to get your MiND BLOWN by FRACTALS?!

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 13:13:01 -0400

<table border=0 width="360px"> <tr> <td colspan=2> I don’t know what it is about fractals, but whenever I look at those darn things and smoke PCP, I just get crazy.�

You might chalk it up to the radical fragmentation exhibited by those wacky geometric shapes, or the recursive nested images that make you think you’re falling into the eye of the one true god, or the fact that you’ve been playing the same song on loop for days, but something about those screwy fractals really blows some fuses in the old brain-box.� Take this one for instance:
�

Notice how the bluish black centers of the demon flowers arc across the screen like a capital “S.”� Now notice how the top demon flower folds in on itself and eats it’s demon brothers while shrieking about Richard Nixon.�

How do people make these things?!�

<table border=0 width="360px"> <tr> <td colspan=2> Oh, algebra� That spited step-daughter of science.� Laughed at for her simplicity, and mocked by her more abstract and theoretically-complicated peers, like Trigonometry and Calculus, Miss. Algebra nevertheless is useful.� Especially to you, Calvin College, anonymous Junior at equally anonymous State U.�

Post this equation on your Keg-erator, and refer to it every Saturday and Sunday morning, or whenever this dreaded-yet-all-too-familiar- conversation occurs between you and your roommates:

"I say Goddamn, this is a mighty hangover boys."
"No Sh*t"
"F.� Why does our living room look like the French Quarter?"
"Better question:� Why doesn't the toilet flush anymore?"
"It's clogged.� Hey, there's clumps of hair on the keg, and all over the kitchen floor.� Anybody?"
"Yeah, rememer we shaved a mean mullet onto Drunk Dave."
"Oh, not really, no."
"Anybody know where this brown, brackish liquid in the sink came from?� Did Herman throw up here too?"
"Who the f*ck is Herman?� Is the toilet catastrophe his doing?� You know what?� I don't care.� Guys.� Seriously.� We need to clean this place up.

Stop.� Right.� There.
