New "Angle" for The war on terror

    Don't know if this is more Humour or Math board, what ya think?, feel free to move it over :D

    New "Angle" for The war on terror - Breaking News
    ======================================

    At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual
    later discovered to be a public school teacher was
    arrested trying to board a flight while in possession
    of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule,
    and a calculator.

    At a morning press conference, Attorney general John
    Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the
    notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by
    the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

    "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They
    desire average solutions by means and extremes, and
    sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute
    value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y"
    and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have
    determined they belong to a common denominator of the
    axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

    "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there
    are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

    When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush
    said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of
    math instruction, He would have given us more fingers
    and toes.

    "I am gratified that our government has given us a
    sine that it is intent on protracting us from these
    math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with
    calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to
    inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the
    President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we
    must differentiate their root, make our point, and
    draw the line."

    President Bush warned, "These weapons of math
    instruction have the potential to decimal everything
    in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we
    become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to
    factor-in random facts of vertex."

    Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader
    would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he
    is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply,
    their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens
    around their necks.
