Happy "What If Dogs and Cats Had Opposable Thumbs?" Day 2010

Yeah.... Probably the weirdest and most random holiday ever with a ridiculously long title. Who comes up with these???

Anyway, I had a pretty good day. Algebra was entertaining as usual. Contemplated the idea of whether my math teacher should give his wife (who is also a math teacher, had her last semester) a math equation instead of jewelry next time a big event comes around.... It was interesting. Then comes the story that is really hard to explain but sort of funny. I guess there's some update in the operating system in our calculators (I don't fully understand). Our instructor was able to install this new upgrade into someone's calculator by plugging a USB cord into his calculator and the calculator that wanted upgrading (I don't know the precise magic, it involved some button pressing and waiting or something; can you tell I'm an exact sort of person?). Well, it worked for the first one. Then when the second person was getting HIS system upgraded but pressed some wrong buttons and so our instructor's calculator was getting DEgraded. When the USB cord was pulled, our instructor's calculator didn't work. Slightly horrifying yet oddly entertaining. Thankfully, the problem was fixed, everything's good again, but now no one wants anything done to their calculator.

So now I've realized two things in this story. 1) It doesn't really seem that funny, I'm guessing you probably just had to be there. And 2) I had never written the word "calculator" so many times....

Anyway, need to attempt to sleep. Can't believe tomorrow's my birthday.

From the Realm of Randomness,
