Sperm donor background check

So you go to the sperm bank, you check the list of donors and pick one out finally.  His qualities are as follows:

  • very funny famous comedian
  • was a star on SNL
  • has stared in multiple movies
  • is a comic icon

You decide this is the one, I will have the baby of all babies and he or she will be famous just like their father was…then you notice something.  Your daughter is born…she has a strange but familiar smile…she is cute but in a weird sort of way.  Over the course of her first months of being alive you just cannot place where you have seen her face before…then it hits you like a ton of bricks!

I live in a van down by the river! Fat girl in a little dress!

Your daughter is the spawn of one of the greatest comedians of all time!  LONG LIVE CHRIS FARLEY!

Could math be the simple answer to our problems?

I am posting this for one simple reason, my step-father the math magician guru wizard.  Could math actually teach our children how to survive and live better in the future?  Could math solve our economic problems?  Well, growing up I hated math and just about every subject in school.  Today, I educate myself everyday and will until the day I die.  Math was always my worst subject but today I consider myself a good math person.  Watching this video and listening to this guy I actually think he has a very solid point.  If we were to teach our children the needed tools of math and not focus so much on the ridiculous parts of math, maybe kids would understand things better.  Okay, starting to ramble so I need to let you watch the video.  Does he have a point?
