Don't blame me-I just copy them from someone else


Native Math



.There were three pregnant Indian squaws laying on animal hides about to give birth.



The first squaw, who was laying on a buffalo hide, gave birth to a 6 lb., 5 oz. baby boy.



The second, who was laying on a deer hide, gave birth to a 5 lb., 5 oz. baby boy.



The third, who was laying on a hippopotamus hide, gave birth to twin boys totaling 11 lb., 10 oz.



Therefore, we can conclude that the sons of the squaw on the hippopotamus hide equals the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

Me, not pc. I is a New Yawk Liberal and I think pc is fine but sometimes overdone, and it's also okay to call a joke just a joke and forget pc for a change.

Most important, is it funny?

I never in my life expected the Pythagorean Theorem to be involved in a joke! Thanks!

Just for reference and/or reminder the Pythagorean theorem is that in any right triangle, the square of the hypoteneus equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The simple example is -- in a right triangle with one side 3" and the other side 4", you add 9 (square of

3) and 16 (square of 4), which is 25. So the hypoteneus length will be whatever 25 is the square of, which is 5. Sorry about the grammar! When I was a kid, my father liked to show us all sorts of fun math and science and history goodies after dinner at the kitchen table, and Pythagorus wandered through when I was in 3rd grade. It was a good thing he had fun doing that stuff with my sisters and I since we had to learn math and sciences and history somewhere -- school didn't really cut it, but we all got magnificent SAT scores thanks to him! And I thought the joke was really pretty good!
