Get the Creative Writing via Urban Dictionarymug. Someone who tries to subdivide an angle into π parts using only a pair of compasses and an unmarked ruler.

Items like “Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not divide by zero!” and phrases like “beautiful curves,” “immoral algebra,” and “juicy little theorem” are banned without being given valid reasons—aren’t these rejections part of the sanitization of Singapore math to only publish sterilized or sterile contents to satisfy the mathematical wants of a humorously or prudishly challenged audience or readership?

Whose odds are the highest in clinching the notorious prize on this side of eternity?
Wouldn’t it be a surprise if one Trumpublican beats his vain boss for the reward?

Fake leaders around the world never fail to scapegoat Covid-🦇 to rationalize the high number of infections and deaths in their own countries rather than because of their ineptitude or poor leadership in containing the pandemic crisis.
