Math foo

Will somebody explain the logic behind two negatives making a positive.



In other words, can you give me a real-life example of -2x-2 = 4, something along the lines of You have two apples, and your friend has four....



Please, this is driving me crazy.

Extinction mojo

Ever wondered why the giant panda and the indian one-horned rhinoceres are headed for extinction? Here's why!

Merry christmas and a happy new year

A victorious roar from a well-camouflaged t-rex after it just bit off the stegosaurus's head.

Bloody gory mess at Hell's kitchen.

And
you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

And

On cobain, gym and mammals

A young woman in pretty blue workout outfit walks up to the treadmill next to mine and started running with a steady hindu growth rate when I was high on Cobain, singing out Come as you are.



A minute later she stops running and gives me a look usually reserved for Sitaram Yechuri and Sagarika Ghose. A few seconds later, she walks away in indignation.



A few minutes after the reason dawns on me. Repeated reference to what was misinterpreted as a mammalian characteristic.



Believe me, it was funny.

Why do people feel guilty to have money?
