Is Wayne Coyne the Burger King King?

Is Wayne Coyne the Burger King King?

Of course he is. Just look at these pictures. They clearly depict the same person.

The only logical conclusion is that Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, has developed a sleep disorder wherein he, while completely asleep, lives a double life, unknown to himself, where he is the King of Burger King.

Wayne, if you read this, please see a doctor!

Can a Public School Student Read a Bible in Class?

Can a public school student read a Bible in class?

Yes, but not loudly, waving it around, while I am explaining the safety protocols for laboratory use of silver nitrate in chemistry class.

It’s dangerous stuff, as you can see here: http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927411.

Did this actually happen? Of course — I don’t think I could make up a story like that. It happened in a different class than the one I am teaching this year, though. The student’s name is being withheld, to protect his identity (and my job).

The Top of the Infinite Tower of Fibonacci

The Top of the Infinite Tower of Fibonacci

This is a top-down depiction of the first nine terms of the Fibonacci Sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34. Since each term is simply the sum of the previous two terms, the next term (and the first one to not be shown here) is 55. The sequence, of course, continues forever . . . but if too much of the sequence is shown in this manner, the top of the tower would become too small to be seen.
