>board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square,
>a slide rule, and a calculator.

>At a morning press conference, Home Secretary John Reid said he believes
>the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify
>the man, who has been charged by the Met Police with carrying weapons of
>maths instruction.
>
>"Al-gebra is a problem for us," Reid said. "They desire solutions by means
>and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute
>value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves
>as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator
>of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek
>philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle".
>
>When asked to comment on the arrest, Prime Minister Tony Blair, speaking
>from his holiday resort before the planes stopped flying, said, "If God had
>wanted us to have better Weapons of Maths Instruction, He would have given
>us more fingers and toes". John Prescott made the following comment
"If Jimmy Cracks Corn and no one cares why write a song about it ?".
