(x, why?) Mini: Linear

Yes, this is how my mind works -- even in the classroom.

I've been sitting on this joke for a couple of weeks for no other reason that just not sitting still at a computer long enough to do it. Well, that's not entirely true -- I've been sitting at them working now that I have regular classes again. And I've been sitting at them writing, or trying to write (see the ads down below). And after a week off, I didn't want to come back with a Science joke first. Maybe that'll be next.

Obligatory Math (ObMath): Linear Pairs are not congruent pears or even congruent anything, necessarily. A linear pair is two angles that share a vertex and a ray, and form a straight line (or straight angle, if you prefer). So the two angles are supplementary since their measures add up to 180 degrees. I toyed with the idea of putting an angle between the two pairs, but it didn't look like. And literally, the image As Is shows a pair of Linear Pears, so I have that going for me.

What's your opinion? I promise I won't delete it. Unless it's spam. Or rude. Or ...

Well, what's your opinion? We can go from there.

And would you like some fruit?

And, yes, those were "naval" oranges.
