    X equals negative B

    Plus or minus the square root

    Of B squared minus 4AC

    All over 2A

    Sang to the tune of pop goes the weasel.

    I haven’t done pre-calc in like 10 years, but this song still lives rent free in my head.

      I learned similarly but to the tune of the Flintstones theme.

      “Neg B / Plus or minus / Square root of b squared minus 4AC / It’s all / Over 2A / That’s the quadratic formul-ee” (to rhyme with 4AC).

    "Why, Mr. Anderson, why?

    Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting?

    Do you believe you’re fighting for something, for more than your survival? Could you tell me what it is, do you even know? Is it freedom or truth? Perhaps peace. Could it be for love?

    Illusions Mr. Anderson, vagueries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.

    And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love…

    You must be able to see it Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now. You can’t win, it’s pointless to keep fighting!

    Why Mr. Anderson, why?! Why do you persist?!"

    Typed from memory.

    I before E, except after C, and when rhyming with “a,” as in “neighbor” and “weigh.”

    Useless because it’s wrong.

      I was going to say Pi to 124 decimal places from Pi day at school.

      I also have “Ickle me, Pickle me, Tickle me too” by shel Silverstein memorized. Same with “These woods” by Robert Frost.

      I have lots of random facts that I usually only remember when the topic comes up, but all are equally useless

    I bomb atomically Socrates’ philosophies and hypotheses Can’t define how I be dropping these mockeries Lyrically perform armed robbery Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits

    Tremendous, ultraviolet shine blind forensics I inspect you, through the future see millennium Killer Bees sold fifty gold, sixty platinum Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths Black Wu jackets Queen B’s ease the guns in Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function Heads by the score take flight incite a war Chicks hit the floor, die hard fans demand more Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly Proceeds to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock Wu got it locked, performing live on your hottest block
