Depends if there’s a stench and/or floaters.

Nvm. It’s never a good thing.

I hate math, but a cousins kid needs help.  Is that my second cousin?  

Flight = 8 kids 
Super Strength  = 10 kids
Xray vision = 6 kids
Invisibility = 12 kids

Select the true statements about the information in the table:

1.  The ratio of students who wish they had x-ray vision to all students is 1:6 

2.  For every 2 students who wish they could fly, there are 9 total students

3.  For every 2 students who want x-ray vision 4 want to be invisible

4.  None are true.

5.  All are true.   

I was going to tell her only 1 and 2 are true, but was wondering if 1 is 1:5, and not 1:6 the way it's worded.   

Mathematically challenged,

Wags.

I'd say none are true and whoever wrote this should be fired because it's flawed. You don't know the total number of students, unless you assume that (a) every student has a special power and (b) every student has one only special power.

Are you telling me there are no students with X-ray vision that can fly? Seems improbable to me.

All are true.

These are just simple ratios written out slightly different each time.

There are 6 times total students vs those that want x-ray vision.

There are 4.5 times total students vs. those that want to fly. Rounding up to whole students you get 2 to 9.

There are 2 times the amount of kids who want to be invisible vs. those that want x-ray vision. The sentence doubles the amount of students to probably trip you up.

Wait, I was just looking at the numbers. Is this one of those poorly written math problems that we're supposed to yell at each other over?

If so, Floyd is a fucking dumbass!

I've found this answer is always correct.

Toys 'R' Us announced the closing of nearly 180 more stores.

Toys R Us to close 180 stores across the US

This comes a day or two after Amazon opens a pilot grocery store in Seattle. There's some irony here.

You work for Toys R Us?

Maybe he couldn't handle the pressure from the upstart Mike Morse. Oh, wait, different markets, you might not see him in LA (Lansing area).

Posting this to give Bob a stats opening again and possibly the best bonus yet.....

Hostess gives employees $1,250, free snacks after GOP tax cuts

Hostess Brands Inc. announced it will give workers one-time bonuses of $1,250 and one year of free snacks as a result of the new GOP tax legislation.

The company produces bakery snack cakes such as Twinkies, Ho Hos, Zingers and Sno Balls. Each week this year, a representative from one of the company’s bakeries will choose a different product, which employees will take home in multi-packs, according to Bloomberg.

Keep that shit in the Bin.

Also, Fuck Hostess.

I struck out parts - I thought the Hostess treats part would amuse those with a sense of humor. So far I'm not wrong.

Yes your trolling worked. Good job Goose.

I’d rather have a year supply of Goldfish and work for Pepperidge Farm.

Choosing Goldfish over Zingers would be very questionable.

DR is my boy.

This belongs in the Oh, Mason thread.

Also, re: Darb’s: Never been in there, but they used to have a sign outside that always made me laugh:
Burned food, stale beer, come in and sit with the flies. (Or something close to that.)

But really, how stupid are you to think that shit would be okay? And the nicknames for the biracial employee? Sofa king insensitive and stupid.

That would piss me off if I was them. Or have the choice to include the value of snacks for a year. People want money, not artery clogging snacks. They would enjoy that for 1 day. Lame.

It's actually a fairly old tradition to send home what you make. Once upon a time I know employees at the Carling Brewery got beer every night - I think a 6 pack.

I knew some of the guys that worked at the brewery in Frankenmuth talked about this....and it was true. Only in Cleveland at least it was a case a week.

Who can forget those heady days when Cleveland was a leading producer of suds -- not soap, but beer? There was Carling's Black Label, and the catchy phrase, "Hey Mabel, Black Label." My wife worked for a time at the brewery, then located at 105th Street near Euclid Avenue. She never met Mabel, nor did any of the other workers, but they sure enjoyed the fringe benefits -- a case of beer a week.

You could use it to scrub your ass in the shower. Please report results to Mr gHost in other thread.

I would give my left nut for a nice handful of lightly salted cashews at this very moment.
