  Beware! This just In!

  AT NEW YORK's Kennedy airport today, an individual - later
  discovered to be a public school teacher - was arrested
  trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a
  protractor, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning
  press conference, the U. S. Attorney General disclosed that
  he believes the man to be a member of the notorious al-gebra
  movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying
  weapons of math instruction.

  "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," he declared. "They seek
  average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go
  off on tangents in search of absolute value. They use
  secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves
  as 'unknowns,' but we have determined they belong to a
  common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates
  in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to
  argue, there are three sides to every triangle."

  When asked to comment on the arrest, the President stated,
  "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math
  instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.
  I am gratified that our government has shown us a sine that
  it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs, who are
  willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky
  statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of
  influence. Under the circumferences, we must differentiate
  their root, make our point, and draw the line."

  The President warned, "These weapons of math instruction
  have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a
  scalene never before seen, unless we become exponents of a
  Higher Power and begin to factor in random facts of
  vertex."

  The Attorney General concluded, "As our Great Leader would
  say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertain
  of: though they continue to multiply, their days are
  numbered as the hypotenuse tightens."
