What are we supposed to be seeing there? Tires on sale?

2 People, baby, seriously hurt in crash.


Yeah, that's..... hilarious?

I may have... erm, modified the original pic.

Sorry, I don't know how to make it bigger.

Tried posting this one a couple of days ago and it kept crashing the posting application.  Any idea why?  No likey https?  Here's the linkage:

Win!

horrible at the whole math thing beyond 1 + 1 = 7 thing but I take it the answer to that would be:

Spoiler for Hiden:

cos b?

Spoiler for Hiden:

Correct.  As tan = sin/cos, you can rearrange the function to be sin/tan, which would equal cos.  Typically the functions are in relation to theta, an angle, but you can use any variable, so "b" makes teh funnay.

Actually, that's what TiLT said.

One thing I wish they had taught me about all the "magic" angles back in HS, I figured out for myself:

The angles they always teach are: 0, 30, 45, 60, 90.

sin 0° = 0
sin 30° = 0.5
sin 45° = sqrt(2) / 2
sin 60° = sqrt(3) / 2
sin 90° = 1

Now they made us memorize that crap in school, and they all look different enough that it seems like the only way.  One day, my love for patterns made me want to all have them look the same, as fractions of x / 2.

So once I evaluated it, imagine my surprise when I could represent it as a number series:


sin 0° = sqrt(0) / 2 = 0/2 = 0
sin 30° = sqrt(1) / 2 = 1/2 = 0.5
sin 45° = sqrt(2) / 2
sin 60° = sqrt(3) / 2
sin 90° = sqrt(4) / 2 = 2/2 = 1

I was so hacked when I realized that there was an easy trick to it that no one ever taught me.

maybe it's your presentation, but that looks MORE confusing not less

It's the presentation.  Each one can be represented by the square root of the numbers in series divided by two.

0 = 0
30 = 1
45 = 2
60 = 3
90 = 4

sin (b) = sqrt(#) / 2

Don't listen to him Hardon!  I appreciated it!

1. A Private saying, "I learned this in boot camp..."
2. A Sergeant saying, "Trust me, sir..."
3. A Second Lieutenant saying, "Based on my experience..."
4. A Captain saying, "I was just thinking..."
5. A Gunny chuckling, "Watch this shit..."

Ain't that the truth.

Mmm, I'm really enjoying this snack.  I hope no asshole bird comes along and..... awwww.

I would love to have that on my truck!

Japan Sucks at Painting

[Toe]

Thats a pretty weak selection of 18th century japan art.

Thats a pretty weak selection of 18th century japan art.

Though I also much prefer the Hokusai wave, the Japanese art (also a wood block print) in Bullwinkle's post is actually Otani Oniji II by Toshusai Sharaku, and is considered one of the world's great works.  His series of portraits of kabuki artists doesn't attempt photo-realism, but intentionally tries to create caricatures that show the actor and character's inner emotions and psychology [citation needed].

Toe, while that's a brilliant painting I think the funny posted by the Moose was emphasizing how European artists were striving for realism in light, color, and proportion while the Japanese focused on comic books.

Also, there's this tidbit of historical fact:

It's a fucking joke.

Er, so was Biyobi's post?

No, it's just a regular one.
