Smoooove. They're on to you, Heebie. You won't even be able to draw a sinusoidal function without snickering now.
Because their previous instructor had used y = x², bounded above by y = 9, and on the left and right by x = 0 and x = 3.
ill-placed bowing curve-lines
What does this mean?
I'm trying to visualize this graph, and I'm getting basically a sideways dome attached to the right side of a vertical line, to put it in entirely non-mathematical terms. ("Revolve" means simply to add a mirror image on the other side of y=8, right?) An areola implies a further bump at the top/center of the dome for the nipple, or else if the nipple is entirely flat, a smaller arc inside the dome facing the opposite direction. I guess I can kinda see something titter-worthy there, but even for high school or college students it's a stretch.
The problem with drawing a silo is more obvious to me. Maybe I got thrown off by shifting from three-dimensional to two-dimensional in my head. As you can probably guess, I was an English major in college.
You should draw a picture for those of us whose mathematical knowledge is limited to axiomatic set theory and mathematical logic.
My instructor in an upper level undergrad course on quantum mechanics tried drew a diagram of the output of the two slit experiment that looked like a nipple. He stopped, took a step back from his drawing, and said, "Gosh, that looks like a nipple" and then continued his lecture.
On the one hand, no one tittered and no one was embarassed.
On the other hand, I still remember this event fifteen years later.
FWIW
You remember it upon the occasion of someone else's reminiscences of mathematical blackboard nipple drawing, at least. But how often did it appear in your memory over the last year?
My drawing on the blackboard did not extend the functions beyond the region
So, you should've extended y=8 to the right, and said that you were trying to demonstrate that breast milk isn't yucky.

I'm evesdropping on my students prepping for the quiz I'm about to give.
"Ok, the difference between Kant and Nietzsche is that Kant is boring and hard to understand. And Nietzsche is...weird. And I think he's hard to understand too."

Quit bragging, rob. I'm sure other teachers here have successfully imparted the essence of these philosophers, too.
Maybe I got thrown off by shifting from three-dimensional to two-dimensional in my head. As you can probably guess, I was an English major in college.
No....I would have guessed you majored in over-thinking silly diagrams.
But hasn't got Nietzsche's essence right! She's supposed to say the Nietzsche is a major asshole.
We were at #1's parents' evening last week, and the 2 science teachers were explaining to C and me how they have swapped roles so the female Chemistry teacher is covering Reproduction this term with the girls. The male Biology teacher said "I have done it with girls - uh, I have covered this topic with a mixed class ..." and when our 4 minutes was up, C and I indulged our childish senses of humour.
The phrase "Oh, I had you in my ethics class" always makes me smirk.
Titties! Hooray!
I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks the probability density associated with multi-slit diffraction looks like a cock and balls. Am I?
Two women, undergrads, meet in this cafe just now. One starts complaining about this rip-off haircut she just got. Everyhumg was extra, including an additional $10 for a blow-dry. Except she says "blow-job". She does this three times before realizing it --- "I mean I don't usually get a blow-job and it's nice and all but 10 dollars?" Then she corrects herself. Her friend pretends nothing has happened. The rest of the cafe has fallen off its chair laughing but there's mo public acknowledgment of the incident. Very Goffmanian.
17: You haven't been to a hair salon recently, have you? It's what everyume is doing now.

No....I would have guessed you majored in over-thinking silly diagrams.
There's a difference?
My carpoolmate told the story about how one time he was caravaning with another teacher, taking a group of students on a field trip. The two vans got separated, his a few miles ahead of hers.
The students were on their cell phones to help assist the vans re-connecting. My carpoolmate said for the student to tell the other van, "Tell her to honk when she's coming so that I can pull out."
He didn't think twice about it at the time, but years later a student told him they almost died laughing.
I'm trying to come up with a linear transform that would result in the top of the breast having a more natural shape, but I think I should stop.
20: We'd already all fallen of our chairs.
23: Typo in a typo crack. Don't it always seem to go.
22: there is none. Think about the underlying engineering (a sphere supported by a bag). It's whatever the threedimensional version of a spline is, and any cross-section's going to be a spline.
25: well, sure, but if you treat the original equation as 1*x^3 + 0*sin(angle around y=8)*something else + 0*sin(angle around y=8)*something else then you could maybe make that spline a little prettier. Except I dunno what the something else owuld be.
25, 26: I really have no choice other than to link this story, showing that committed scholars have been working to solve this problem since at least 1990.
I totally had that idea when I learned about spherical harmonics.
You haven't been to a hair salon recently, have you?
Indeed I have not, and thus my hair grows steadily larger.

For some reason they didn't send Sir Conrad Black to one of those prisons where you get stuck in the back with a homemade knife in the shower.

Does Goffman have successors? Contemporary sociologists who are as sharp or as much fun to read, or maybe both?
29: Have you thought about having it styled into the shape of a breast?

I am so glad I'm just sitting tests today and not running a class. I feel like total dog vomit. When I get home, I'm going to announce that because Daddy is sick, we are having a special day where we just sit on the couch and watch Sesame Street. If I'm lucky, Molly will bring us some tea and honey.

25, 26: but you get splines by penalizing curvature. Somehow this does not seem appropriate to the problem at hand.
Without looking at the "read more" or the comments... pi*(64+128/7). A slightly messy number, but it seems like an OK problem....
27: Complimenting strangers on their breasts induces amused blushes, but when we do it with friends and acquaintances, things get all awkward.
(missing the point entirely, I see)
27: and the history of related problems goes back to at least 1956.
26 is all kinds of wrong. LB can you get in touch with that dude?
Can't actually remember his name. True to form, though, he did make a very artistically impressive, albeit obscene, naked snow-people tableau in front of the dorm. (Actually, I can't remember if it was just one nude, or a couple.)
26 is all kinds of wrong. LB can you get in touch with that dude?
She could just respond to you in the thread, Tweety.

But that happens in nature a lot.
Presumably d^2 or cosma is writing up the equations as we speak, so I'll just sit back and wait.
B(4i)(4q)ru/18
That's as far as I got in math.
Charley, I got a little further than you. I know that the end of that espression is "QTπ".
Wait, I'm confused. Why is it better to fork someone if they are over 18? Why are to sending text messages to someone you are about to stick a fork in?
30: I'm genuinely shocked that he has e-mail access.
My embarrasing story is that I had a very groovy 8th-grade earth science teacher, and I once went to dinner with her (ha! you were picturing a male science teacher, weren't you, you sexists) and another (female) student. I was talking about something from class and instead of "organism," I said "orgasm." I'm fairly certain that was the first time I'd ever said the word out loud.
I was staying with my godmother once and watching Countdown with her mother (70 odd, I guess, I was about 20), and someone came up with 'orgasm'. My viewing companion had never heard of the word, and was very vocal about it, and then asked me if *I'd* heard of it. I took the coward's way out and made some excuse to leave the room.
My 7th grade biology teacher liked to shock her charges by saying things like "Men keep pumping out sperm until they die!".

I am entirely too jaded. My first thought was that your teacher was a perv trying to seduce you.
I asked my fifth grade science teacher what an orgasm was. My logic was that we had learned the words organism, organ, and organelle that year or the previous year, so this seemed like it was probably coming up next, whatever it was. I think 10% of the kids laughed. Then I figured he was trying to downplay/ignore my question because I was being too much of a showoff/knowitall type.
I asked my fifth grade science teacher what an orgasm was.
"Awesome," he replied.
"Ten dollars, a chocolate bar and a B minus" "Awesome," he replied..
Restored to canonical form
Also setting up nicely for the next joke:
"Only a B-?!? What would I have to do to get an A?"
"Study."
"Study."
Is that what they're calling it at colleges these days?
I was talking about something from class and instead of "organism," I said "orgasm."
When I was in middle school, a student teacher kept substituting "marine orgasm" for "marine organism" for an entire class period.
OT:
Someone is looking for people who've been outraged by their portrayal in a Modern Love column. I wonder what will come of it?
I wonder what will come of it?
Eventual realization on the part of all parties that the entire exercise is an embarrassment.
A class action suit against the NYTimes for the intentional infliction of emotional distress?
The ad should also ask for people who were later embarrassed by how they presented themselves in a Modern Love column.
[Obligatory link to Blacktable article responding to Modern Love column a couple of years ago OMITTED]
67: heh I am just tickled you used that convention.
The obligatory omitted link in 67 is appreciated.
Huh, a much older convention than I had realized.
Half of those links don't make sense in this context, but I like the random march down memory lane, Tweety.
The link conencted to "than" didn't work.
I'm pretty happy with the rest of them.
Sir, I did not see what most of them had to do with omission.

Um, I see it. And it isn't hidden. At all.
Maybe I didn't scroll up and down enough in those threads to notice.
i never had chickenpox or other kids diseases, coz was immunized i guess, thanks to socialism
but perhaps i turned out like autistic thanks to them too
/ a joke
not sure whether the soc vaccines had thimerosal in them though
[pox remit-o-dacted]
The Pox Remitodactyl is a remarkable dinosaur.
oops, wrong thread it was
i had frequent sore throats cured by tonsillectomy
though and am perhaps MS predisposed like genetically if to test HLA, will experience tetraplegy later in life i guess, god forbid
and i gave my blood only once during my student times, was advised against donating coz was anemic then, never tried again
The Pox Remitospondee is off on the wrong foot.
Oh, a remarkable dinosaur is the Pox Remitodactyl
His name lasts longer than his symptoms will.
He can stop up a thread
And leave it for dead.
But I'm darned if I know how to end this stupid fucking comment. Thanks a lot Heebie.
