How does the Pythagorean theorem figure into the murder case?
And as a side note, what’s the deal with the guy at the right?
Does he think Homer might be correct?
Remember the people of the Lost Colony?
They were never found because they had carved the cryptic word SOHCAHTOA. It was all Greek to the search parties.
Those damn Cylons...................
You do and you'll clean it up!
Okay, I read that about the murder.
Didn’t see anything about Pythagoras.............
If that rule applied to schools today no “climate scientist” could get in
Pythagoras appears to be white. Time to cancel this mofo. Who needs a white man’s math jive any how /S/S/S
Believe it or not, the Pyhagorean Theorem is quite handy in landscaping.
666 is no longer alone
He’s getting out the marrow in your backbone
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll
Gonna blow right down inside your soul
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon
In blood, he’s writing the lyrics of a brand-new tune
-Genesis (Supper’s Ready)
Cylons were the evil robots led by a fine Canadian actor who died in the year 2000:
John Colicos played mostly bad guys in film and TV—including Lord Baltar in Battlestar Galactica:

I was taught Plane Geometry in 12th grade. Since I couldn’t remember the theorems, I was given a passing grade only because I “aced” the final exam, which dropped that requirement because the tests were graded by machine.
Schoolmates asked if I’d flunked the test because I’d handed in the answer sheet about hour before everyone else!
I dropped solid geometry, as it was “totally alien” to my psyche, but I squeaked through to graduate. Geometry never appeared again in my life’s endeavors.

The Squaw of the Hippotamus
Long ago in a plains tribe, three young men came of age and were to be married. They were sent out into the world with a bow and arrow and a knife to kill an animal the fur of which was to be used to make their marriage bed
Brave Eagle returned with a wonderful cougar hide that was tanned into a beautiful fur
Charging Bull returned with the hide of a young bear that was tanned into a beautiful fur.
Falling Rocks was not very successful. He returned with the skins of two rabbits and a squirrel. These were not large enough to make a marriage bed. His wise grand mother suggested he take them to the trading post and get a striped blanket.
Alas, the trader would not part with a blanket for such a minor return but offered a dusty hippopotamus hide that though rough was in fact large enough.
A year passed
The squaw of Brave Eagle presented him with a son
The squaw of Charging Bull presented him a beautiful daughter
The squaw of Falling Rocks presented him with twins, a boy and a girl
Theorem:
The Squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws of the other two hides
Alright...... there has too be some kinda angle to all this.
Was it the Pythagorians who coined the phrase “man is the measure of all things?”
