>Ashcroft said he believes the man is 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," Ashcroft said. "They desire average
>solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
>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 say, 'there
>are 3 sides to every triangle'."

>When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
>wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
>given us more fingers and toes."
