Seattle Stew is great tasting dish made from IKEA meatballs that have horse-meat in them. It could be eaten on the anniversary of the death of the famous racehorse called Seattle Slew out of either respect or disrespect.
Alternatively, if one opened a slaughterhouse for horses in Seattle, Washington, one could call stew containing horse meat Seattle stew.

I just ate some meatballs from IKEA and when I found out that I had done so I got to thinking about horses and then I remembered the legendary Seattle Slew. hence the name, Seattle Stew.

Get the Seattle Stew mug.3M WOJ8 is another license plate that has been banned in a number of American states the first one being NY State. When viewed in the rear view mirror it says "blow me." Believed by some to be the second-best vulgar plate to have ever been issued by any state motor vehicle department, the first being 3M TA3.
This plate first appeared in 2005 before being revoked in 2007. It made a brief reappearance for a few months several years later after falling off of the DMV's banned list but was once again subsequently revoked.

Logarithm is derived from Greek logos "reckoning, ratio," and arithmos "number."
Logarithm is derived from Greek logos "reckoning, ratio," and arithmos "number."
Since I can't make a nice table, let's use the following format: Base, Exponent, Expression, Result such that in line 1, Base = 10, Exponent = -3, Expression = 10^-3, Result = 0.001. We obtain,
10, -3,10^-3, 0.001 (or 1/1000) (line 1)
10, -2, 10^-2, 0.01 (or 1/100)
10, -1, 10^-1, 0.1 (or 1/10)
10, 0, 10^0, 1
10, 1, 10^1, 10
10, 2, 10^2, 100 (10 squared)
10, 3, 10^3, 1,000 (10 cubed)
And so forth.
Any positive real number can be expressed as the product of 10 raised to any real number; for example 100,000 can be written as 100 x 1000 = 10^2 x 10^3 = 10^5. Notice that the exponents are additive. It is easy to show that for division the exponents subtract.
Before the advent of hand-held electronic calculators, logarithms and the use of log tables reduced calculating time by converting long-hand multiplication into an addition process and long-hand division into a subtraction process where the result was accurate to three significant figures. One would just look up the logarithms of two or more numbers that were being multiplied, sum the logarithms, and then look up the corresponding number.
Another benefit of using logarithms is that curvilinear data points can be converted into linear data points, and the latter is easier to model with a first-order equation derived using either graph paper or linear regression analysis.

Get the Eminent Lo Mein mug.An obscure province in Kenya where Barack Hussein Obama was actually born. It is almost all jungle and is notable for its large indigenous population of purple-lipped apes and its many banana plantations.
No way was that half-cracker Obama born in Hawaii. The guy not only drives me bananas but when he smiles and bares his teeth he looks like an ape, and that really creeps me out. Therefore he must be from Bananama. Since Obama also has Irish roots on his mother's side another moniker for him could be O'Bananama.
