There is a reason you don't use " ÷ " after 6th grade. Most people think of division as fractions which fucks them up.

Did they not remember PEMDAS? I feel like that's all I learned in elementary school.
PEMDAS? Standard order of operations, bro.

Multiplication and division happen simultaneously. Left to right is just a convention.

But see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_o ... operations
These mnemonics may be misleading when written this way, especially if the user is not aware that multiplication and division are of equal precedence, as are addition and subtraction. Using any of the above rules in the order "addition first, subtraction afterward" would also give the wrong answer.

there is only one person in my section that i truly can't stand. we're talking about locke for property and she brought up hobbes, even quoting "short, nasty, and brutish" 2x. she also talks so fast that she trips all over her words. it is unbelievable. it isn't even how she talks normally.
for example, imagine reading this post out loud as fast as you could, like you were in a speed reading competition, and stumbling after every 10 words.

What makes you think that?
Attractiveness has nothing to do with it. Our class is just really close.

I can't tell if this is a joke or obliviousness to 1-2 of the most awful threads on TLS. (I'll take confirmation of the former via a Simpsons "That's the Joke" meme.)

+1, although D could be opposite sex and bi-curious.

That is true I guess I messed up a contrapositive. The CR is somebody enjoys smashing clams.

It's totally possible (though less titillating for some) that they could be all screwed up heterosexuals.
For assumptions:
A=M
B=F
C=F
D=M
A<-->B
^...../...^
|..../.....|
v.../......v
C<-->D
That way, A/B is a straight couple, A/C is a straight couple, C/D is a straight couple, and D/B is a straight couple. B & C (alleged friends) are both female.

The only problem I could see is you forgot the inference where B-C being "good friends" from college really meaning they experimented with each other.

If you're a girl, IDK, in your situation I'd try to hang out with the married girls which entails dinner parties I'd imagine.
During finals this semester, I played so much Counter-Strike that I moved to # 40 out of like 350,000. Feltgoodman.

That's why I included the diagonal line connecting them instead of just using asteriks. Plus, you can still be a "screwed up heterosexual" and still have an experimentation (in theory, at least... I'm not going to open that can-of-worms.)

You might as well open that can of worms now because who knows how long SOPA is on the backburner, and we have to all go back to random chatrooms just to offend others...
