Are you in the mood for a game? I've posted a silly little thing for you up on 4Shared - you've just got to link to it and run this Shockwave program to have a little fun tossing bananas into barrels. Click on the link below or on the image to get to the site.

This looks good enough to eat, doesn't it?




Well, not so fast. Check it out here.

Primitive Tools

We often think of mankind as superior to other animals because we know how to use tools to make our lives easier - but maybe it ain't so...

Test Dummy Crashes

Stupid Limerick

A maiden at college, Ms. Eves,
Had too many B.A.'s and Lit D's.
She collapsed from the strain,
Said her doctor, "It's plain,
You are killing yourself by degrees."

Teaching Math - A Humorous(?) Perspective

Math

We hired some of those young folks that came out of the 80's and 90's schools and it was pretty bad. There are a whole lot of pieces of society that are responsible for this evolution/revolution and we should stop giving more money to those that have any responsibility for this.

1. Teaching Math In 1950s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

2. Teaching Math In 1960s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

3. Teaching Math In 1970s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

4. Teaching Math In 1980s: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Math In 1990s: A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20.

What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, its ok).

6. Teaching Math In 2008: Un hachero vende una carretada de madera para $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Have You Heard About Songsmith?

I'm not a musician, so my opinion probably isn't worth the pixels it's printed in, but I think this looks dumb.

Roy Orbison - "Only The Lonely"

In a clip from the 1960's we see a very rare occurrence - Roy appears on stage without his trademark sunglasses.
