| Breaking: Teacher arrested |
|
Teacher arrested ......
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be
a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a
calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra
movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math
instruction.
"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Gonzales said. "They desire average
solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and
refer to themselves as unknowns, but we have determined they belong to a
common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every
country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3
sides to every triangle.""
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given
us more fingers and toes."

| 5. Is he a member of the x-axis of evil??? |
|
The origin (0,0,0) of his invovlment in al-gebra seems to date back to a terrorist leader named "A. Newton".
