why is it

[Phyllis]

that i can write a solid paper in a relatively short amount of time but i can't do a fucking math problem to save my life.
ugggggh.

i'm not even talking advanced math. i'm talking algebra. basic algebra. i'm hopeless. HOPELESS.

Two high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first ferry, the Cat, travels at 26 miles per hour. The second ferry, the Bird, travels at 21 miles per hour. In how many hours will the two ferries be 20 miles apart?

wtf idek
this quiz has consumed my entire morning help someone

[Irock]

forget the ferries / islands / cities / bird / cats.

One thing travels 26 mph and the other goes 21. So one's 5 mph faster. They'll get 5 miles apart every hour. Yeah?

[Phyllis]

ooohh i get it. thanks sunny.

[aquaphase]

the entire point of word problems is to screw with you using the words. Sunny nailed it exactly: get rid of all the extra bullshits and you're set.

[ifihadahifi]

I feel ya, Phyllis. Math is my weakness as well.

My answer would be "False. Boats travel in knots, Jackass! But nice try.."

Beavis: Yeah, check this out, Butt-head. *Imitates Andy Rooney* You know what I don't understand? Why is it every time I pick my nose, it's full again in a few minutes? Heh-heh...funk dat!
Butt-head: You sound just like that buttmunch. Huh-huh-huh...
Beavis: *As self* Yeah, check this out too. *Imitates Andy Rooney again* How come they call it "taking a dump" and not "leaving a dump"? I mean, after all, you're not really taking it anywhere? Heh-heh-heh...funk dat!

Here's my lunch conversation.

Mere: Do you remember that song "Funk Dat" from the 90s?
Libby: I don't know. Sing it.
Me: Seems like every time it never fails, it never fails... I'm just chillin' in my crib, minding my own business and somebody calls me just to talk about nothing. FUNK DAT! Get a life!
Lara Kay: No, sing it like the song goes.
Me: I am, he just kind of talks.
Libby: Like rap?
Me: Not really. He just keeps going, "Question!"
Libby: I think songs like this made me listen to alternative music.

I've never, never, ever heard this song ever before today.

Long live You Tube.

I've never, never, ever heard this song ever before today.

Long live You Tube.

Somehow, I find this shocking.

[Irock]

The lyrics don't ring a bell for me,either. *A Youtubing I go!*

Yeah, found it... still doesn't ring a bell. But I never watched Bevis and Butthead, or even had MTV in the 90s...

[ChrisLovesYou]

Everyone loves spoken word pop hits.
