From a blog post titled Oh, for the love of god.
“Drew Lingalot”! Damn, that’s vicious! 
I think I’m going to have to add A Gentleman’s C to the education blogroll. The blogger “Angry Professor” is “a tenured faculty member at a large state university.”
I’m sorry.
But I’ll definitely be reading the archives!

From those archives:
I took the Angry Kid to the dentist yesterday. We were a little early, so we got to sit in the waiting room for a while. We were joined by a stereotypical Red State kid, a sturdy boy of about 11 years wearing camo and a John Deere cap, and his younger sister.
One wall of the waiting room is painted with blackboard paint and much chalk is provided. Imagine my surprise and delight when Red-State boy wrote out the first 25 digits of pi and then started to teach his little sister the Pythagorean theorem. (My students don’t know the first significant digit of pi and couldn’t recite the Pythagorean theorem if their lives depended on it.)
I’v only memorized Pi to about 11 digits, but . . .
COLLEGE students!
