This one is for all you math/economist/business types out there (You know who you are). The best part is that this guy teaches at the best school in the country (Go Dawgs!).

Now that you’re done watching, check out some other Power Point Humor.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Wow, I’d forgotten about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I remember back when it was just the letter and hand drawn pictures. The Church has come a long way, with more t-shirts, games, pictures, and even videos. He’s still got his global avg temperature vs. number of pirates graph screwed up though. You can’t just arbitrarily reorder the x-axis to make the shape you want (can you?). See FAQ 7. I think I actually emailed him once, but like the other 100 people that tried to correct him, I failed. Never question the Church.

Korn Mosh Session. “A bunch of dudes being awesome.” Awesome.
Fall Out Boy

Another way to fight rising gas prices. Meow we’re thinking.

“Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel — a homemade blend of garbage, run-over cats and other ingredients — is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel.”

Analysis of a Poop Smear

Yeah yeah, another writing about poo? Tell people to quit leaving their crap (literally) everywhere and I’ll stop writing about it.

There was a semicircular smudge of what I assume was poo on the toilet seat. WHY?

The figure below shows a toilet with it’s critical dimension, the hole. Also shown is the mating part, the mystery pooper. Let’s call it a press fit for the poo in the person. The goal here is to clear the toilet’s hole. Diameter of the hole is nominally 8.5 in. 8.5 - 1.0 = 7.5 MMC. 7.5 - .5 = 7 virtual condition. Poo is 1.0 + .5 = 1.5 on the big side. 7 - 1.5 = 5.5 inches. Mystery pooper has to hit a 5.5 inch target at worst. If he poops smaller, he can be that much further off-center. That is very doable. Millions of people do it every day. There should be no poo on the toilet seat. Please.
