I guess dog butt sniffing has made the front page... it does make you wonder about the Child Predator connection or furry children... Ahh, it's about the dogs and degassing.

Wow.

I like Santa Clarita Diet, a silly comedy about a zombie. I like it so much, it's the only long-running TV show that I've watched in entirety THREE TIMES. In my head, I've played a certain bit of funny dialog many times.

It happens after 15-year-old Abby cuts classes. When her parents find out, her father tries to give her a stern talking-to, telling her "...we expect more of you."

Abby pouts. "It all just seems so meaningless. Seriously, trigonometry? What does that matter?"

Her father replies: "Trigonometry matters a lot. There are triangles in everything. Pizza. (Long, awkward pause) Triangles. Not the shape, the musical instrument."

But Abby's mother - the zombie - surprises everyone by encouraging Abby's delinquency and ridiculing the idea that the father cares about triangles... but I think I'll censor that line.

I keep imagining the long speech I might give about why the higher mathematics are important for things - like making money - but I doubt Abby would want to pay attention to that speech. For that matter, I doubt anyone reading this post would want to either, so I should just get to the point.

My point is that - according to the article to which you, Aberzombie, just linked - two high school teens just made a million dollars with trigonometry. Maybe YOU'RE the zombie who should talk to Abby.
