In another bit of evidence of the endemic corruption of the Great Global Mathematical Conspiracy, students are now being bribed with the promise of a free iPod to learn math
Bribed!
The obvious conclusion is that the arithmetelligencia is all out of ideas for indoctrinating the youth of today with their Answerist doctrine. Now I hate to toot my own horn most of the time, but in this instance I think most of the credit goes to me.
It is blindingly obvious that our message of academic freedom and the inherent fallibility of numbers is making a resonance in the young community. As leader of the worldwide Math Skeptic community, the credit for this must certainly belong to me. But also to you.
So merci beaucoup, Math Skeptic Community!

Cambodia's Courageous Stand Against the Arithmegemony
Great news from Southeast Asia! Cambodia
's Ministry of Education has won a decisive victory for humans in the ongoing war of man vs. math.
Six Cambodian high school students had been planning an obviously ill-advised trip to the Netherlands
for the International Mathematical Olympiad this month. In a surprise, last-minute move, the Ministry canceled the delegation's trip, announcing that the students would not be competing.
The heartbroken students - not knowing just how close they'd come to a potentially dangerous arithmetical encounter - were understandably heartbroken.

Indeed, Sokon Rany, indeed. Your mathematical expectations were worthless indeed. Thanks to the Education Ministry, you are now one of the lucky few who found this out before wasting a university degree in the pointless pursuit of numbersSokon Rany, a 15-year-old student at Preah Sisowath high school and a potential competitor, said he and five other students had received word they would not be going.
He had expected to showcase years of math studies, but now he found his expectations "worthless."

VICTORY IN CHILE!
The Math Skeptic would like to congratulate the CIA on yet another successful South American coup d'etat!
Finally, the long-suffering people of Chile can get out from under the democratically-elected thumb of the despotic President Allende, and will finally live in peace and freedom under General Pinochet. This is a victory not just for the Chilean people, but for all the freedom-loving people of the world!
I don't normally do this, since I'm very opposed to celebrating numbers in any form, but there's just something about today's date that seems special. Nine-Eleven. 9/11. 9-1-1. Isn't it beautiful?
September 11 - a date that will be forever synonymous with freedom!
