Pi

The Greek name for WHO’s next-in-line Covid-19 variant of concern, which is one mutation away from Omicron—a viral christening by WHO could push math teachers, students, and parents worldwide to take up arms against them.

With the word “pi” being used by millions of math students and teachers every day, what are the chances that Pi would be as lucky as Xi, the Greek letter that wasn’t used to coin a Covid-19 variant—which was begging to be picked up—because it’s a popular name among certain ethnic peoples, not to say, the surname of a present president of a state?

Singapore Mask Educators

Someone who fakes their knowhow of Singapore’s bar model method and stack model method—two problem-solving visualization strategies commonly used by local teachers and tutors—often oblivious that their audience could smell their half-baked knowledge in effectively applying these “draw a model” techniques to solve word problems.

Most school teachers and textbook writers could easily detect those local and foreign Singapore mask educators in academia, who often serve as supervisors for trainee math teachers.

Toilet Math

A math joke book you pick up in the bathroom to destress yourself every time you do your business, when your giggling or laughing could help cover up the sound of your relatively loud farting.

Fred likes to amuse his girlfriends with the toilet math jokes he still recalls, when he’s killing two birds with a stone.

Covid-🎃

When millions of people around the world have mixed feelings about celebrating Halloween during the pandemic, because they are more scared of the coronavirus than ghosts and spirits.

F***ing Pi

When no mathematical constant other than π has attracted so much envy or jealousy among fellow members in the Number Kingdom—when π continues to steal the show wherever she goes, because her sexy numerical and geometric properties have led legions of math geeks on their knees to worship her.

Love her or loathe her, even mathophohics can’t ignore the mesmerizing or magical beauty of f***ing pi, with some of them even able to experience an aha! when they let go of their off-irrational inhibitions, real or imaginary.

Make Twitter Free Again

Elon Musk’s unspoken slogan as he sarcastically offered to buy Twitter, which would value the company at around $41.4 billion—he currently owns around 9% of Twitter's shares, making him the company’s second largest shareholder—because Twitter shares are underperforming and the platform has been restricting the propagation of politically incorrect or fake news.

Just as the Liar-in-Chief wanted to make America great again, the founder of The Boring Company wants to make Twitter free again.

Dummies for Dummies

The title of a completed manuscript that is dividing both literary agents and editors, because they have yet to find any common ground whether or not publishing such an apparently condescending or insulting book would be suitable for public consumption.

“Dummies for Dummies” seems to fall under the Humor section, or it may not, because it’s up to everyone’s imagination who’s the target audience for this title: MAGA cult patriots, white Taliban terrorists, or Antifa thugs, or all three?
