This is allegedly a series of equations that, when entered into a graphing program , form the Bat-symbol. I have no clue if it’s accurate or not since I spent the entirety of high school math classes playing Drug Dealer on a TI-83, but I’ll take their word for it. Plus I remember in Algebra my teacher held a contest to see who could make the most interesting picture on their graphing calculator . One kid did a pretty impressive smiley face. Another did a little house. Me? I used a felt-tip pen to draw a pecker on the screen . I got disqualified. PLUS detention :/ Batman Equation is Answered with the Bat-Symbol [techeblog] Thanks to Shirley, who made her lab partner lick the frog they were dissecting because he was in love with her.

Future college dropout Matthew didn’t know how to work out problem #1 on a recent algebra quiz , so instead he filled the space with an amateur sketch of Charizard attempting to burninate (Trogdor tie-in FTW) the answer out of the ruins of his ineptness. Unfortunately, the teacher came back and PWN’d Matthew’s Charizard with an even worse drawing of Blastoise (which may or may not actually be a flea). Wow guys, is this what higher education has come to — Pokmon math battles? Because that’s awesome if it has. Pokmon Calculus Fail [albotas]

A teen has filed a class-action lawsuit against Amazon for remotely deleting a copy of George Orwell’s ‘1984′ off his Kindle without his knowledge or the right to do so. Justin D. Gawronski, 17, “now needs to recreate all of his studies,” alleges the complaint filed Thursday in Seattle by the law firm KamberEdelson, LLC. Gawronski took copious notes using the Kindle that were linked to particular passages in the book, the court document says, and while those notes are still accessible, they are useless without the passages they reference. Amazon has apologized for remotely deleting copies of 1984 and another Orwell novel, Animal Farm, in mid-July without informing customers. Jay Edelson, the lead attorney in the lawsuit, said in a statement that the plaintiffs “appreciate Amazon.com’s new-found contrition, but words are not enough. Amazon.com had no more right to hack into people’s Kindles than its customers have the right to hack into Amazon’s bank account to recover a mistaken overpayment.” Now I’m not saying Amazon should have done that, but I am saying that Justin is pretty lazy for not just going back through the book and finding the passages again. Not that it matters anyways because I’m pretty sure this is just a sorry excuse for not having your homework ready on time. But seriously, one time my dog really did eat my homework. And by homework I mean weed. Amazon sued for wrecking teen’s Kindle work [msn] Thanks to Laura and Joemo, who would have just sent their teacher a corrupted file like a normal person.

I can honestly say I’m surprised the numbers for renaissance artists aren’t even lower . Because one time when I was substitute teaching for a class of fourth graders I asked who sculpted David and the only response was from a girl who asked if that was the one with the penis. I said yes and then they all started chanting I was gay. Ninja Turtles [xkcd] Thanks Andrew, who once cowabunga’ed two chicks at once in the Party Wagon.
