Here is a Joke I heard from my crazy Math Teacher (he IS crazy, just ask V2010 or Lumin . . . )

"Noah" was sailing on his ark, the earth was covered with water. In his Ark, he had two of every animal, 2 leopards, 2 humans, 2 camel spiders, 2 of EVERY animal. So they sail along, sail along, sail along, until they read land, and the floo waters go down. Then they come to land. So "Noah" stops the boat, puts down the plank, then all the animals leave the ship. As each one leaves, "Noah" says "go forth and multiply". So the animals start going off the ship, first the mammals, then 3 days later the insects, then the reptiles. So the Geckos leave, the lizards, then it is time for the Snakes. 2 Adder Snakes are the next in line, and "Noah" says to them, "Go forth and multipy". The Adder Snakes reply, "We can't, were Adders". So "Noah ponders this for awhile, then goes into the forest, cuts down some logs, makes a table out of the logs, and returns to the ship. "Noah" gestures to the log table, and says, "There. You have Logs. You can now go forth and Multiply".

(Logs=Logarithm, for those less mathematically inclined)

Hehe, I thought that was funny, if taken in a completely non-religious context, of course. Good, fictional story . . .
 
I don't get it. I hate math!
 
A Logarithm can help you multiply through adding. It is like an exponent, yet I am finding it surprising difficult to translate it over CFC.

Try Googling it if you are really curious . . . otherwise, wait until higher grade math . . .
 
:lol: I get it. Good one.:)
 
Ohh, ya a Slide Rule, that would be good.

@ LD - Do you understand it? You need to be taking Math 12 or Chem 12, or know about Logs to understand it. I find it hilarious . . .
 
I found it funny.:lol: :lol:

Well, they still couldn't do it, you'd need exponential functions too...

Ya, but, you know . . . stop using that funny "logic" stuff . . . and I am pretty sure you wouldn't need that, Logs should do . . .
