Calendar Relations ... Today Is The Cousin Of

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today is April 24, 2024

Let us drop the year

and repeat the above:

Today is April 24

BUT

we are prone to state

month and day

numerically

as a fraction:

 

Today  is 4/24

AND

(4/24) = (1/6) = (2/12) = (3/18) = (5/30)

NOW 

—reverting to month and day—

(April 24) is the "cousin" of (January 6)

+ (February 12) + (March 18)

+ (May 30)

You may justifiably believe

I am playing a stupid 

trivial number game

BUT 

there is more than

meets the eye

BECAUSE

 

I am having fun

with fractions

and their equivalence

WHILE

virtually nothing 

in this world

causes more Math Anxiety

than fractions

AND

 

Any statement

that the United States

is truly trying

to improve Math Skills

is a steaming pile

of fecal matter

 BECAUSE

 

Superior Math Skills

means

Superior Thinking Skills

[or Independent Thinking Skills]

and would create a generation

of people who would not 

feel it necessary to buy

the products they see

advertised everywhere

OR

believe the mealy-mouth fabrications

of every politician

 

What A Wonderful World

This Could Be
