okay okay, but this one is very funny (at least to me)... units are great :D



I remember marking papers and on NUMEROUS occasions a student would write down such a bizzarro answer it made me LOL in real life!! One of these days i'll write a post dedicated to some of the hilarious "mistakes" i've seen.

I was going through the (x,why?) comic archives and this comic cracked me up:


It made me go to youtube to type in "needs more cowbell" but unfortunately I couldn't find a decent version of the SNL video. Fortunately, I found it on another video sharing site to satisfy my urges. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the wiki entry on "More cowbell".

I'm a math geek, so I enjoy reading the occasional comic strip that's math related. Here is my list of the top 10 webcomics/comics that I read on a regular basis:

1. Foxtrot - Surely, everyone knows this one. It occasionally has a lot of math humor but is currently on a Sunday only publication schedule.

2. xkcd - Updated every Mon, Wed, Fri, and a very popular webcomic online.

3. Abstruse Goose - Funny webcomic updated regularly, but often physics related as well.

4. Spiked Math - New daily webcomic in color (this should be on the top of the list since I created it ;-))

(x, why?) Comics is a geeky and hilarious comic about math. It is created by Chris Burke, a high school math teacher in New York as well as a part-time writer, and a fan of science-fiction / fantasy books and films. He started making his own math webcomic totally by accident as a way of amusing his students and trying to make them think just a little bit more.
