Aside from the fact that I was wearing my highland regiment tam-o-shanter to the test (complete with USMC "clan" badge, this has nothing to do with kilts.

But I did want you to know that I passed the math teaching certification test for the state of Georgia. I am quite fully legal in teaching math now. . . .and Englsih . . . and soon to be social studies and psychology.

Nothing like trying to be a Renaissance Man in the modern world. Not much call for 'em, I fear.

There is a need for Ren. Men, most just don't realize it

Think of what things would be like if we had well rounded leaders who were farmers, inventors, philosophers, theologians, as well as lawyers and theives.... oh, sorry. I didn't mean to repeat my self

So if the KiltedCodeWarrior starts running West wearing a Utilikilt at 11:30 AM EST and Panache starts running East wearing a Stillwater Standard at 12:30 PM PST , how long before the two of them get tired and stop for a beer?

Congratulations to our new Kilted Math Professor!

Cheers

Actually, I was about with you on the answers.

But I did go to a trivia contest at a local pub one time, arriving late. But the last question was to convert a Celcius temp to Farehnheit, and it just so happened that we had done exactly the same problem that day in the remedial math class I was teaching.

Guess who won.
