a wee bit o' comedy video



I'm in the Chicks & Giggles reel.

You need Flash 8 for this motherfucker. I totally downloaded that shit and now I feel like the fucking Flash-bomb, even though it was free and took like three minutes.

p.s. - I have been a professional math tutor, on the side, for years, and I just used direct proportions to solve a real-life problem, which I would totally tell you about if you were my student. The original version of this video was too big for my blog. The HTML said it was 448 by 365, so I set up a proportion of 448/365 = 350/x and then reset the size to 350/285, because I wasn't sure whether if I just set one aspect, the other would set itself proportionally, as happens with images in HTML in moden browsers, but didn't happen when I started designing websites in 1997. Anyway, that was totally easy math, but I have to admit that, while I can do many clever math problems involving, say, squares inscribed in circles and vice versa, this situation has never arisen in real life.

p.p.s. - I just realized I wrote "professional math tutor." As though there are amateurs or hobbyists in the field.

p.p.p.s. - Make sure you click on "play" and not the ad for the Spiderman trailer, or you'll be perplexed.
