mathNEWS mailBAG

In an attempt to make you all feel more like mathNEWS editors, I've decided to open up the mathNEWS mailBAG. Here are actual emails that we've gotten at mathNEWS this term. I couldn't make up weird crap like this if I wanted to.

Student quote

We've been here forever; it's time we made it into mathNEWS, damnit!

Scott: "You're doing algebra!"
Tom: "No I'm not! You can't prove anything!"
Scott: "Yes you are, and neither can you!"

Mel's Diner in Pigeon Forge, Tn.

I went to Mel's Diner in Pigeon Forge, Tn. on 10–27–2002 to eat at 9:45 pm. The service was extremely bad the burger was the only thing that was decent. The fries were cold,the onion rings were cold and just as old as the french fries.

In my opinion it seems like they tried to microwave them to be warm. When they finally came back to the table and brought the check I let them know about the condition of the fries and onion rings. I even let the waitress see how cold the fries were and that they weren't edible and they still charged me for them even though the waitress said "They shouldn't have sent them out like that." Well to sum it up I can say I ate at Mel's Diner twice that night ... My first and last time ...

"Well I know if I burn potatoes the proof is in the smell, a lot easier than algebra."

Filler joke

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

DOG

What breed of dog is in the movie? We can't find it anywhere. We have fallen in love with it.

In conclusion ...

In conclusion, I just want to say, why the hell are you people sending us this weird ass crap? And, please continue to do so.
