    If you think this is bad, how about the fact that Americans only have one math!

    The time has come to stop the greedy hoarding of maths by Europeans. Let’s open up our hearts and donate another math or two to these poor unfortunate souls.

    Loved the joke, but I’m distracted. There are cabinets below the white board and storage space above. What is done with the extra space behind the whiteboard? I’m picturing like storage or cubbies in the next classroom over or something?

    For a few brief years, there’s was a men’s alternative to Valentines day. “Steak & Blowjobs day” was held exactly one month later, on March 14.

    I have never seen such a surge in love for mathematics since then. Women around the world who barely know what Pi represents were suddenly very aware that March 14 was Pi day.

      If you want a computer to sort dates in a sane manner, year-month-day is the only option. Anything else is madness.

      Biggest to smallest - makes it easy to sort by date for things like folders of photos. And other things, I’m sure.

        Biggest to smallest fails though for years which are smaller than the months, and for months which are smaller than the days.

        e.g. Dec 1st 2003, would be written 12/03/01 biggest to smallest

        I don’t think you’ve thought this through, and frankly I question your mother’s sexual decency.
