“I graduated on June 1, 1996. That was 10,167 days ago, and it has been 10,167 days that I have not used algebra,” Farnsworth said on the Senate floor.

      Not sure whether you’re being down voted because they think you agree algebra needs to go or because you’re implying that algebra is cool.

      Either way it’s amusing to me.

        That’s great LOL.

        My thinking was:
        “… I have not used algebra”
        “It’d be a lot cooler if you did [use algebra].”

        But I am an also not sure if the downvoters misunderstood or just don’t like algebra.

          I think math is really supremely interesting, but I’m fairly sure I’m in the minority.

          This crowd, however, just might tilt nerdy enough to agree with me that algebra is indeed cool.
