Einstein had this figured out a long time ago.

Took you 33 minutes to do that? :rolleye:

You're right Mark; if you buy smaller quantities, you'll never ketchup.

Areas of circles are proportional to their radius squared......they figured that out about 2500 years ago. :friendly_wink:

I grew up on Lehrer AND "new math."

 

[Boink]

Love Lehrer, and have all his albums (and many conversions to CDs). I consider Roy Zimmerman his heir apparent. https://www.youtube.com/user/RoyZimmerman Like...

All great! I'm a huge Lehrer fan. I love the mix of intellect and comedy. It's the same formula that makes Big Bang Theory such a hit show.
Another performer that is a favorite of mine, and I have had the great fortune to meet is Heywood Banks. I asked him who his inspiration was for the songs he writes, and he told me that I needed to get a copy of "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer". After talking with him I can hear the influence in his music. Here's an example keeping with the math theme

That song is what I call trucked up.... (did I put my toe over the line? :eeek: )
