American educational system at work. I bet she's a college graduate too.

Yup. That was exactly my experience when I tutored math. Math is mindlessly through algorithms today. When I taught fractions, the kids learned to plug it in to the equation is/of=x/100. That is, for a problem asking, 5 is what percent of 20, you take the number before the word is, and put it over the number after the word of, and set it to x/100.

Then I ask them something simple like what is 50% of 10... and they're plugging it into the equation. D:

Sorry...the wife isn't hot. She has a long face. Not attractive to me. She isn't ugly, but isn't noteworthy either. I wouldn't look twice, but I wouldn't discount her as a future mate based on looks alone.

I want to hurt it...badly

That has to be fake. She deserves to be removed from the gene pool if it's not.

Look at these 2 fucking assholes. Can you believe this shit?

You want to hurt it? You think you're better than her just because you know what mph stands for? I bet she doesn't want to hurt you ya fuckin prick!

I don't want to hurt you either I just want to call you on your bullshit.

Speaking of bullshit: You want to remove her from the gene pool? Do you honestly think that because someone doesn't know what mph stands for that she'll give birth to idiots? WTF is wrong with you? How big is your falsely inflated ego that you think you can predict what her offspring will be like just based on 1 fact she doesn't know?

Your level of stupidity is more fucking dangerous to society than hers.

You still feel superior to her now? What's funny is, you've got your head so far up your own ass you probably still do!

It kind of reminded me of the time I was showing my wife photos from Afghanistan and she suddenly says, OHHH! So THAT's what cameltoe means!

(Oh I just contradicted myself).

I'm pretty sure that was a reference that he wanted to insert tab A into slot B.

I am wondering if you struggled with the 80mph question too? Your responses seemed to take it too personally :biggrin:

It isn't that she doesn't know what MPH stands for...he spells it out...he says 80 miles per hour. This is 4th grade math at most. We all feel superior to her for this. That, and the fact that she thinks the wheels of a car turn 400 times per mile. She should be able to get a bit closer than that...

Did you have trouble with this math problem?

lol, she's totally trolling.

I think it's fake. If it's not fake, then I feel very sorry for that poor bastard who married her.

Probably staged. Excuse to put video of hot wife on youtube.

That has to be fake. She deserves to be removed from the gene pool if it's not.


You guys lack life experience and/or the some basic level of human discernment if you really and truly can't distinguish between an amazingly stupid brain fart and actual trolling . . . which explains a ton! :p

Conclusive real-life reference.

What I find amazing is that she actually had the 'though process' to considering calculating the revolutions per second the wheels made, their size, etc.

It just goes to show what missing a 'critical' piece of information can do to your attempts to solve a problem. MPH didn't mean anything to her, so she went off on a tangent trying to solve a simple equation.

The example DrPizza provided isn't simply a brain fart. It's a case where people convolute a term because they don't know what it means. People think in "mph" and try to make estimations based on personal observations of various "mph" values (see her trying to use running speed to reason the problem out), rather than trying to think of what the term actually means. A brain fart doesn't last for 4+ minutes, at least not with something like that. However, it's the husband recording the whole thing and laughing while she doesn't seem to care (until the very end) that really adds on to the likelihood of this video being staged.

Her convoluted logical path that led her to overlook (<---brain fart!) the actual denotation of what MPH stands for WAS . . . a brain fart, pure and simple.

Not making the connection between MPH and miles . . . per . . . hour is ABSOLUTELY is a brain fart.

The smell from a brain fart most certainly can linger for 4+ minutes, it's dark brown miasma clouding the issue, as it were. That you think categorically that it cannot affirms my original statement -- you lack a degree of psychological insight and discernment, imho. <shrug>

A brain dingleberry, otoh . . . is a useless, overlooked addition to the short hairs of any proferred logical statement. In such a case, the logical slate was not wiped clean, as it were.

... And by slate, I mean, of course, anus. :awe:

Maybe I'm showing my age, but I just don't think publicly humiliating your significant other on the internet is a wise move for a long happy marriage. You do that behind closed doors where you can use it against her when it's most advantageous.

Agreed. The guy is a tool.

I could only take a bout a minute of that.

I don't know what's worse: Someone being that stupid, or those two pretentious assbags posting that fake video.

They both deserve to be stabbed in the eye.

Except, he didn't say "MPH" in the video. He said "Miles per hour".

I am wondering if you struggle to understand those 2 numbnuts want to kill her. Are you as dumb as they are?
