I just got a lot of new mathematician followers, so in my attempt to pander, here’s my area of interest. For the past year, I’ve been translating, solving, and writing detailed solutions for Japanese college entrance exam problems. I even code randomly-generating variants for student practice.

A problem to find the radius of a tangent circle using properties of cosines.

I don’t like to brag, but when 2 Unlimited shouts, ”Y’all ready for this?,” I’m the guy in the back who says, “ⁿᵒ”.

I’ve kept a straight face while everyone wondered who farted longer than Erica Kirk mourned her husband.

What’s happening to that ASL interpreter in the corner is exactly how accommodating the underprivileged works in the United States.

The New York City mayoral debate, with a chyron obscuring the ASL interpreter's gestures.

I haven no idea when I’ll use this but I know there’ll come a time.

This won’t be the last time the worst people on the planet hold the world hostage for billions of dollars they don’t even need.

Catwoman: "One billion dollars cash from each country."

Burt Ward has claimed that he did his own stunts. Dude didn’t even do his own running in public.

Batman & Robin run down a crowded street, played by their stunt doubles.

Today’s youths wouldn’t understand that this camera’s angle and position in 1966 were a plot hole.

The Batmobile records Bruce Wayne (Adam West) kissing Kitka (Lee Meriwether).

This movie achieved my dream of making a comedy entirely out of moments that make you say, “Wait, what?”

Robin: "About to pass Benedict Arnold Monument."

I have to find an excuse to use this in class.

"The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate."

Martian Manhunter looks like I feel every time Snapper Carr opens his mouth.

From Justice League of America #6: “It’s a blast! Beam in on this, will you! Chin it up, Wonder Woman! Tell them all the score!”

He didn’t even try using “Oswald Cobblepot?”

Victor Paul was 39 when he did Robin’s stunts for this movie. I wonder how it felt to play a teenager with a side-part as a 39-year-old with a fivehead.

Dang, Hecate made it to the big screen.

From Batman (1966): "Sic 'em, Hecate. Scratch out their eyes"

Much has been made of the shark bat-repellent, but what about the fact that Batman devised four separate bat-sprays?

Oceanic repellent bat sprays: barracuda; whale; manta-ray; shark.

The Batman ‘66 movie is rated PG-13 on Amazon because of smoking and “foul language.” Did Robin cross a line by saying a sardine was “holy?”

I definitely think about taxes a lot less than billionaires think about taxes. Taxes annoy me once a year. Billionaires annoy me every time I use the Internet.

Just realized my age is the largest number they could imagine in Moses times, plus three.

I often wonder which public figures would have destroyed their own reputations and become insufferable, triumphalist hacks if they’d lived longer. I would speculate that about John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Sam Kinison, John Belushi, Amy Winehouse…

The neighborhood feral cats still run from me. I feel like I could change their lives by introducing them to the concept of snuggling.

Wouldn’t anything be better to fly in for air traffic safety than an invisible plane? Like a hang glider? Or a visible plane?

Superman: “Not to worry, Green Arrow. I’ll encase you in nice, safe lead. Also, here’s a pack of clean, healthy cigarettes.”

Superman in Justice League of America #4: “Since the rays can’t get through lead I’ll make a huge egg in which to carry you! The rays won’t touch you as I bring you out!”

I love when comics use their own misunderstandings of science to explain away what superheroes do. “In the same way that bumps on your skull indicate submissiveness, Batman’s Batarangs ‘bump’ the Riddler’s skull into submission.”

The Flash runs across the water using the same principle as stone skipping (not how stone skipping works in real life) in Justice League of America #4.

This is also why I oppose letting Graham Platner off easy.

On a tangent, this is also why I lost all respect for Lemmy when I found out he collected Nazi swag. He did it because he liked the look of it. I believe him but that’s still the whole fucking problem. To uncritically adopt their aesthetic is to do their propagandizing for them.

I’m told his name is Graham Platner. He sounds like an in-law country singer who is also a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical.
