Point of order: Canadian healthcare is not ‘free;’ last I checked, most Canadian medical providers are not unpaid volunteers. It is paid for via, gasp, tax. As opposed to the United States, where we only provide this for people too old to remain productive members of society and can’t otherwise afford their massive medical bills…
I remember this happening. Except it wasn’t a trap, the textbook was just wrong. Two of my highschool math teachers would give prizes to students who could find, and prove, errors in the books.
Any takers on the finale tomorrow being some disaster occurring upon the realization that this ‘magic math method’ doesn’t work if you don’t already know the answer?
I worked at a company where the marketing department decided we needed a new company name after we were acquired by a conglomerate, which was fair enough, I suppose. So they picked one the new owners approved of, purchased a bunch of marketing materials to advertise it, and sent out emails directing all employees to not use the old name any more. Only problem was, the company had not – and did not, for several years – go through the process to legally rename itself. So the legal department immediately sent their own emails telling everyone to ignore marketing. Hilarity ensued as what amounted to a polite interdepartmental war errupted.
