pyth only applies if it’s a right angled triangle.
factually incorrect cartoon ;-)
Tsk tsk… and in a Euclidean space.
I barely made through math in high school and even *I* know the missing precondition.
er… that either/both of the two gendered characters are straight…?
Or is that too obtuse?
@Crazy Dr. M: Obtuse, perhaps — but not overly so. Well played, Doctor!

@Brian: Brian, Brian, B-ry! I simply had no idea where the comic came from. Your manners could use some work — hence the “disemvowelling” of your comment, but thanks for the heads-up!
Thanks for the post, Mr. deVilla…
Hmm… correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t she holding a right-triangle?
I’m just trying to figure out what “sshl” is with vowels… oh. What a jrk.
And the obligatory Simpsons quote: “The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!”
Randy,
that actually is used in the movie “Wizard of Oz”, when the scarecrow gets his brains, he spouts that phrase. It’s part of the social commentary. All along he has been the brains of the group, then he gets his papers, and says something really great sounding, but really wrong.
Does it really matter, I mean it’s only a cartoon, i maybe a kid but, I’m smater enough to know that normal people, don’t stree themselves over fake cartoons.
