I Love the pockets!

Uh… what’s the percentage of all those fractions? Does that also make it more or less cheese, sausage and mushroom on a single pizza?

17/51 is one-third (17x3=51) and 109/327 (109x3=327) is one-third so the mushrooms are one-third, but I didn’t work it out to be sure. My head can’t hold that big a number.

How come these numbers didn’t include π?

Sheik, THAT’S for dessert! And they aren’t square!

Hummm, this old Roman computer claims that Gaul was divided into 2.99999995 parts!

Sheik Yerbouti (ha ha, cool name!)

It did include pi (pizza pie) Oh my I cracked myself up.

:-P

Love the pockets full of pennies, but only 1/3 cheese? I say triple it!!

Spam flagged (yet gain…)

Ah, that’s 17/51, not 17/31. bleeep, small print in the ‘toons these days.

Avolunteer - 1/3 of the pizza is covered in sauce+cheese+mushroom, 1/3 is sauce+cheese+sausage, and 1/3 is JUST sauce+cheese

Victoriassecret knows not and cares not.

How does one spam a spammer!?

Do they really think they will sell one dime’s worth of stuff?

Yeah, flagged the bot as well.

Celecca, is that Digger I see?

What I find surprising is that he went to pick it up. I don’t order pizza from anyplace that won’t bring it to me.

P.S. Just flag it. Unless you have a comment that’s on topic, the spam about the spam is more annoying than the spam (‘cause there’s only one of it).

Can we change “Flag” to “Flog”?

Apparently, Jason missed school the day they taught “simplifying fractions”.

1) The post is obvious spam 2) it’s sometimes less expensive to do carry-out than delivery 3) Or, maybe Dad was picking up the pizza on his way home from work.

Someone needs to give GoComics a spambot filter.

If you visit too many Victorias with secrets you can get a virus, i understand.

Can we spam An Coulter as well?

gillbillvolume1 Your idea sounds wonderful. But their link scares me. What if it is attached to a virus.

And you are so right Rayannina, It is so much fun bashing the spam. It is cathardic, to be sure.

The only thing worse than spam is people telling us what to do about it, as if they have all the answers. News Flash: You Don’t!

@ gillbillvolume1,

The problem with your idea is that you have no idea if the fake number you give is not really someone’s actual number.

I wouldn’t go to a spammer’s site anyway, it is no doubt crawling with key-loggers and viruses.

You should see what happens when Peter orders the pizza.

Roger, would you like Peter to order the pizza instead? I recall you complaint something about College fee is only a fraction compare to the his pizza toppings :D

Usually this strip gets A+ for math, but this time, only a C since the fractions don’t add up to exactly 1.

Oh, I would have loved to be the one to give out that change and see Dad do a slow burn.

Mr Beeson,

Respectfully, you get the C, not Jason. All 3 fractions simplify to 1/3 exactly, so they total to 1.

Jason, you’re just doing that to show off.

(Yeah, I know, I’m being Captain Obvious here, but it’s better than adding yet another comment about our need for the Spaminator…)

Nerds just wanna have fu-un! And the pizza place wanted to get rid of all of those pennies, anyway.

I think they got mad because it’s kinda hard to separate a pizza into thirds…

Not really. Slice it into sixths (relatively easy) and then top every two slices as ordered. :)

(OK, since I’ve never made a pizza, I have NO idea if that would actually work…)

Heehee. I should try this. I’m a math nerd(ette) myself.

all equal exactly a third.
