"Sting Can't Do Maths"
It's okay, Sting, neither can I. Here is a quote from the awesome nerdblog I'm about to link you to:
Let’s assume Sting “has a girl” five days out of every week. That means he has been “having girls” for the past 1000/(52*5) = 3.846 years. This does not seem so outlandish until one realizes the line after the one mentioned is “But I’ve never felt like this before.” This is either testament to how amazing this girl is (despite Sting being probably the most diseased person on the planet), or to how little Sting pays attention to all the other girls he has “had.” (Even if we assume Sting “has a girl” six out of seven days a week, and on the seventh “has” two girls, he has been at it for the past 1000/(52*8) = 2.40 years!)
Yes! This is what maths should have been like in school! Real life applications such as the above quote would have insured I didn't graduate with that hideous D on my report card. I should start a petition or something to have the Curriculum Council revise Year 12 maths.
