Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for January 15, 2013

Does anyone else see the little bit of Roman numeral humor in today’s strip?

But seriously, I’m ashamed of kids today. These kids are so dumb that they don’t even know who Neil Armstrong is or who invented the lightbulb. And they don’t want to know! It’s just pathetic and miserable.

It’s not about educating the masses. It’s about programming them to believe everything is alright so nobody will question what the government is doing.

10 + XII = XXII Find 10

There are 11 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.

Sometimes I had a bit too much fun in math class.

Q: So where’s the buried treasure?

A: Under the X, you idiot.

X never marks the spot. – Dr Jones

thanks a lot…I am a teacher and there are plenty of us, intelligent and ready to teach.

yesterday my grandson was ill and I went to stay with him so he wouldn’t carry some germ to school. While I was there he logged on to a couple of websites and completed both Math and spelling homework. If they can go online and learn all this stuff, why go to school, I have always been a supporter of Home School, though when my kids were school age it was not an option. Keep the kids home, teach them your values, keep them safe from the nuts in this world, and still give them a good education.

I got the joke. There is also treasure in finding the answer. .DCLXVI “for those who have the understanding.”

As the resident Intelligent Analpore in my grade school 50+ years ago I can remember responding to a similar quiz question the exact same way. Maybe some things aren’t so different after all…………..

Wrong answer Mike.

just glad I am a retired Mathematics teacher

question…..why are you teachers reading the comics?
