England Header Rule

Enough of this bullshit irony.

In Euro 2004, the only person Sol Campbell fouled to score his perfectly legitimate winning goal against Portugual (which was subsequently disallowed) was *his own team-mate* - i.e. John Terry.

Urs Meier the referee deserved everything he got after that.
The so-called "England Header Rule" is a cynical attempt to deny the achievements of our Football team.

the simple power rule

A mathematical rule useful for finding the derivative or instantaneous rate of change of a function that involves the form y = x^n. If n = 0, then the rate of change is zero, since any number x raised to the zero power is 1. To find the derivative when n is some other number other than 0, simply pull down the exponent n, multiply the entire function by n, then subtract 1 from the exponent after you pull n down and multiply. Basically:
1) y = x^n
2) y' = nx^n-1 (y' means take the derivative of the function with respect to x, so use the simple power rule!)

Piece of cake! One of the most helpful rules in calculus, because if you didn't have the simple power rule, then you would have to use the general form for a derivative, which takes alot longer than the method above.
Try these out! Just take the derivative as described above!

y = 3x^(-2)
y'= -6/(x^3)

y = 12x^0
y'= 0

y = 3x^(1/2)
y'= (3/2)x^(-1/2) or 3/2 times 1/squareroot of x

rules 1 and 2

Part of the "rules of the internet", made in early 2006 by someone in the /b/ section of 4chan who fancies the site a secret underground.

Due to the /b/ section being overrun with users from sites such as Gaia Online and MySpace, these rules were accepted, and more people took part in the illusion that 4chan is a SUPAR SECRAT CLOBHAUS. Despite the fact that these two rules state that you shouldn't talk about /b/, some people will cite "RULES 1 AND 2!!" every time 4chan (or even a meme) is mentioned outside of the site.

Thankfully, this vermin of stupidity remains contained in /b/, so people who cite rules 1 and 2 in other boards are bound to get flamed and hopefully banned.

Two-inch Rule

A rule used by women practicing "abstinence." You remain a virgin if it only goes in two inches or less.
"Elizabeth, I can't believe you lost it to Chuck."
"Nope. Two-inch Rule. I didn't lose a thing. I'm still a virgin."

100 Word Rule

The 100 Word Rule is a rule that can be applied to a person who talks too much. This rule allows them to only speak 100 words in a given time period. The 100 Word Rule can also be used on a person who constantly disagrees with everyone's point of view, where it would be used to limit the amount of arguing that person can do. The punishment for breaking the 100 Word Rule is 25 punches for every extra word over 100.
Rory: ...and that's why I disagree with your idea.
Mike: You have said 98 words. 2 more until you break the 100 Word Rule.
Rory: This rule really sucks.
Mike: Now you are two over the limit! I am going to enjoy all 50 of these punches.
