Coordinates

18 10 2008

Ok kids, this time it’s a time to recall some math. Did you like math in school? I bet most of you didn’t;)

Math should be funny enough for people to like it. So here is some funny math for you. I don’t remember anymore how to properly call this simple stuff, but when you trapped – the most needed thing is a proper system of coordinates. ;)

Here we go:

xyй

xyй

P.S. To appreciate this cordinate system one MUST consult the person who knows Russian language or language alike ;)

I’m not that serious this time.. but that how it goes.

See ya, bye.

that’s nice :)

Tom, if only in school instead of X and Y you had used D and K you would have realized that putting I instead of a Z in the third dimension makes it a dik

it may not look funny when it’s in Enlglish. cultural difference make these words appear different for natives. But in Russian this accidental though apparent combination looks really funny. and the word can be used in a non-offensive way, like a joke or something, though it’s still dirty. Hard to explain really but I did my best

So I guess it’s a bout ‘xyй’. I think this word was one of the two words some great friends from Lviv taught me. But I guess my Cyrillic alphabet is good enough to see that it can be translated in toe ‘gui’. This sounds harmless, but some of our Dutch colleagues should remember why their Ukrainian colleagues were laughing when they said ‘goei’emorgen.

So that is what the axes of the coordinates say together ;)
