I must have missed that class.

BTW, there is also a hierarchy involved, called the order of operations. Parens first, then multiplication, then division. Following this, 2 is correct.

When it comes to the whole Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, once you get past the parenthesis and exponents, you perform the rest of the operations in the order they appear in the problem. Or in other words, division and multiplication are on "equal ground", as are addition and subtraction. So even though "my" comes before "dear", you still perform the division first if it came first in said problem.

It's a sad world when Munson is right.

(I was taught PEMDAS in both HS and college too and I have a minor in math.)

Want to get out of jury duty? Don't do this.

New York federal judge Nicholas Garaufis has sentenced a woman to indefinite jury duty after she allegedly made racist remarks on a juror questionnaire, UPI reports. (HT: Juries blog.)

The Brooklyn woman, who is in her 20s, was a prospective juror in the criminal trial of alleged mob figure Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano, according to UPI.

Asked to name three people she least admired, the woman allegedly wrote, "African Americans Hispanics and Haitians" and followed it with other derogatory comments.

She also wrote that all policemen are lazy and use their sirens to escape traffic jams, according to UPI.

If this was a ploy to get out of jury duty, it backfired miserably. Judge Garaufis did grant the prosecution's request to excuse the woman from the Basciano case, but the judge was not done with her.

"This is an outrage, and so are you," he told the woman, adding that the woman, who was not identified "is coming back [today], Thursday and Friday — and until the future, when I am ready to dismiss her."

Steal a neighbors cat and I guarantee problem solved.

This is a great idea if you would like to have your condo baptized in cat piss, if you harbor an abiding hatred for the corners of your upholstered furniture, or if you are a woman.  It is not a particularly good idea if you're trying to get rid of a couple mice.

If I were that woman, I'd tell that powetripping judge to suck my ass and put me in jail because cops are pigs, blacks are stillupfronts, and judges are whores.

And by the way, that woman has every right to express those views, and who the farg is he to chastise or penalize her in any way for doing so?

That piece of shtein needs to read the documents he's pledged to support & defend.

Holy shtein, I wish I had a Hoyda and tits.  I'd never leave the house, bro.

No actually, she does not have a right to present herself falsely before the court in order to duck out of her civic duty. 

Or to put it another way...she has the right to act like an asshat, but then the judge has the right (or even, duty) to hold her in contempt of court.

I think he's a powertripping icehole, but she's not much farging better.

[Rome]

She's permitted to say and think whatever the farg she wants.   And I say good for her for doing whatever she can to avoid compulsary jury service.   The entire system is farged and it's also a colossal waste of time.  Rich people buy their way out of trouble and poor people get the stick up the ass every time.  I want nothing to do with it.

[Munson]

Who will out-bitter who?

[Yeti]

What the farg country are we living in?  What if she really doesn't like the groups she specified and cops.  The Judge shouldn't be allowed to sentence her to anything just because he doesn't like her opinions.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

I'm doing some research and I'm going to call that son of a bitch.

Commie fargin bastich. 

[ice grillin you]

if shes a racist she deserves a lot more punishment than a few days of jury duty

[Diomedes]

Keep us posted on your crusade Captain America.

I'll give Rome the bitter WIN.  I like jury duty.  Without a jury of our peers, this America place would be a lot f'n worse.  When called, I answer questions honestly and if I'm ever actually put on a jury, I pity the poor Romes who get stuck there with me, because I'll take the duty seriously while they roll their eyes and cast spitballs from the back of the room.

Not only am I allergic to cats but I wouldn't stop my truck if one darted in front of mine. That being said every person I know that owns a cat has them piss in a litter box and I doubt igy has much upholstered furniture in the vicinity of his pantry.
