The Mean and Vulgar Bits: Fractions and Averages (ILL of the day)


Captain ILL acknowledges the usefulness of mathematics when kept in its proper place. For example, without integral calculus how would we know how much jello is needed to fill Aquaman's swimming pool while he's on vacation? Still, most grade school students would agree that fractions are evil and deserving of a good booting. They've got all those halves and thirds and worst of all fifths! Outside of his neighborhood liquor store, Captain ILL has absolutely no use for fifths! So if you see any fractions wandering the halls of your school or office, boot first and ask questions later!
