KC Star math: from 1959 to 2009 = 40 years

Via Living in the Scoot Utopia, a photo essay in the Kansas City Star about a decades-old gas station fire had some fuzzy math.

The above description of the photo gallery says the fire was 40 years ago. But the photo below gives the year: 1959.



No copy editors at the Star = embarrassing mistakes.

It could have been anyone at the Star. Since the KCMO school district adopted diversity over math, addition and subtraction are taught in a field where Wayne Minor used to stand, by professor G-Money.

Example Lesson for elementary level. 2 + 2 = You owe me a C Note Mother F*&^er.

The Graduate Course: 3 Tires + 1 Rim - 1 Spare = Getaway Car
