Yes, I watch it in reruns on truTV, plus other shows like Impractical Jokers.

Speaking of school. I'm glad I've used my algebra and fractions every day of my adult life. I dunno I would've made it without algebra. And whatever useless shit they taught me.

Could've taught me how to balance a check book. Make you sign up for a fucking checking account but don't teach you how to use it.

x3 + 1 and (y4x2 + 2xy – y)/(x – 1) = 12 is far more critical as you can see. And no, I just copied and pasted. I said they taught me algebra. I never said I retained it.

This thing is kind of trippy. I can't make sense of the picture wheel thing on the side. Is it like this view master thing?

It's the negatives used to produce the prints or reprints.
