"A secondary school teacher was arrested today at London's Heathrow International airport as he attempted to board an international flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a pair of compasses and a calculator.
At a press conference, a UK Border Control spokesman said he believes the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the Police with carrying weapons of maths instruction.
'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Spokesman said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.' They use secret code names like X and Y and refer to themselves as 'unknowns;' but we have determined that they belong to a
common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, 'There are three sides to every triangle.'"

"Who was the first person to put two feet on the top of Everest?
It was Radhanath Sikdar who had a special aptitude for trigonometry. Back in the 1850s he used a theodolite located 150 miles away to measure the height as being exactly 29,000 feet. He thought people would not be impressed with the accuracy of his measurement as it was a multiple of a thousand so he added two feet to make the measurement 29,002 feet. Thus he became the first person to put two feet on the top of Everest!
Quite Interesting!"
