Hey Brundlefly - where is Manitou Springs? I lived in Florida and used to love to see those sea cows.

High and dry in Colorado. Just up the road from Colorado Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak. We've got Deer, Bear, Coyotes, Mountain Lions, Elk... Haven't seen a Sea Cow 'round here yet... 'cept for Hannity the Manatee on the tube " />

What's purple and commutes?

An Abelian grape.

You can't div by 0...

yechhh

Let x = 0 and 2x also,
And 2x = x since both are zero.
Divide each by x,
Doesn't look complex,
You get 2 = 1 , taint so you know.

With apologies to the late Kenny Everett:

There was a young man from Bengal
Who had a hexagonal ball
The sum of its weight
Plus its wotsit times eight
Is his 'phone number, so give him a call!

There once was a wiz from Nantucket
His T.I. broke. he threw it in a bucket
Did math in his head
This, he did not dread
Unlike Ling-Ling from Phucket

Errm, I don;t do mat joke well. They just don't compute.

I guess that permanently changes the interpretation of my T-Shirt that says "I am that man from Nantucket"

I guess I will have to get one printed that says "I am that young man from Brent"

A math teacher once was sad.
His luck in the restroom was bad.
His colon was tensile,
so he worked it out with a pencil.
Just like the math problems he had.

A mathematician confided
That a Möbius strip is one-sided.
You'll get quite a laugh
If you cut it in half.
For it stays in one piece when divided.

The integral of T squared D T
Between 1 and the cubed root of 3
Times by the cosine
Of 3 Pi over 9
Is log N the cubed root of E

What on earth does Bitflipper's signature mean in that case " />

Well I'll try..

2 + 2 = 4

2 plus a 2 it will add
if it sums 4 you score
anything else and you need pictures
and working at McDonalds is so sad.

I will start

Mathematically, it is

But when spoken, it becomes
A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.

Your turn
