Can Someone Give Me A Math Parody To Airplanes Part 2 By Bob

What movies does the movie Airplane make fun of?

The film is mostly a parody of Zero Hour!, a film that had a main character named Ted Stryker and such famous "not meant to be funny" lines like "We have to find someone who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner." The film was specially geared to spoof the "Airport" series, but chiefly spoofs Airport 1975, where Karen Black is a stewardess forced to pilot a plane after both pilots are incapacitated, Linda Blair is a girl needing a kidney transplant, and Helen Reddy plays a singing nun. Lloyd Bridges as Steve McCroskey spoofs his role as airport manager Jim Conrad in the TV series San Francisco International Airport. Robert Stack appeared as an airline pilot whose nerve fails him during an in-flight disaster in The High and the Mighty. Peter Graves appeared in a similar "airplane disaster" TV movie, SST: Death Flight. William Tregoe, who plays Jack Kirkpatrick, the TV anchorman ("I say, let 'em crash"), plays an almost identical character in the "Count/Pointercount" segment of The Kentucky Fried Movie. His character name is the similar-sounding John Fitzsimmons, and he is arguing for "count." Both roles parody James J. Kilpatrick on 60 Minutes.

What does it mean when people say that mathematics is the queen of the sciences? Also, why queen?

The source of this phrase is a quote attributed to Carl Friedrich Gauss:"Die Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften und die Zahlentheorie ist die Königin der Mathematik."("Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics.")The quote appears in Waltershausen's biography of Gauss, and it may well be authentic. Gauss was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, in whatever way you wish to measure "greatness", and though he contributed profoundly to physics, astronomy and optics he was first and foremost a mathematician. The quote actually has a second part which is rarely mentioned:"She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but in all relations she is entitled to the first rank."Mathematics isn't an empirical science in the way chemistry, physics and astronomy are (it is often not described as a "science" at all, for this reason). In this sense it is less beholden to the particular reality and universe we happen to inhabit. It explores ideas and worlds that are purely abstract and inherently beautiful and interesting. Some of them are inspired by physics, some are not. The sentiment expressed by this phrase is more or less the same one described in xkcd: Purity.Regarding the usage of "queen": abstract entities are often described as feminine in art, poetry and literature. When writers refer to mathematics or nature as entities, they often refer to them as "she" (as in "mother nature", or for example in Dürer's Melencolia I). To my ears it would seem more unusual for Gauss to refer to mathematics as a "he".

What are some interesting facts about Rowan Atkinson?

Born as the youngest of four brothers in the town of Consett, Atkinson was brought up Anglican by his parents Eric and Ella May.2.While he used to be a class clown when he was young, by the time he got into his pre-teens he developed self-consciousness and became rather quiet and withdrawn.3.A very educated man, Atkinson is a graduate from two universities – the Newcastle University and the Oxford University. His thesis was on self-tuning control systems.4. When attending Durham Choristers School, Atkinson was Tony Blair's schoolmate.5.Despite being known mainly as a great actor, he also starred in a series of comedy shows for BBC Radio 3 called The Atkinson People.6.One of Atkinson´s greatest passions are cars. Once he even said that one of the best moments of his life, aside from personal relationships, was to get a Class 1 license to drive a lorry (semi-truck).7.Naturally, cars have played an important role in his film career as well. The scene with Mr. Bean driving his mini from a chair on the roof is known all over the world.8.Occasionally, Atkinson also writes for some British car magazines such as the Car magazine.9.He was one of the guests at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton as well as the one of Prince Charles and Camilla.10.For most of his life, he has suffered from a mild stammer, which might be also why he has been known as very taciturn in his private life, particularly disliking interviews. In fact, Mr. Bean also hardly ever speaks.11.Atkinson has been a big fan of James Bond and he even got a chance to play a supporting character in the James Bond movie “Never Say Never Again” from 1983 with Sean Connery.12.In 1990, Atkinson married Sunetra Sastry, a BBC makeup artist that he met in the late 1980´s. They have two children – Lily and Benjamin. In February 2014, though, he filed for divorce from Sastry.13Originally, the name of his most famous role, Mr. Bean, was Mr. White. It was later changed to Mr. Cauliflower but finally ended up Mr. Bean.14 Atkinson has been so protective of his family´s privacy that not even his closest friends knew Sastry was pregnant until the kids were born.15. In 2001 while on a holiday trip to Kenya, the plane he and his family were in, started to go down after the pilot had passed out. Atkinson managed to take control of the plane before the pilot woke up. The plane landed safely.16.During the first date with Sastry, Atkinson allegedly said nothing except for a request to pass the ketchup.

How would you parody your own writing style on Quora?

I don't love to tell stories as my good friends Martin, Mimi and Ben suggest but rather those stories remind me of a stage in my life when I finally had a major insight into physics.I say or use to say theoretical physicist because I had not done an experiment in 30 plus years.At some point, I realized new laws are only examined AFTER they have been observed, so i designed the God experiment for $199.00.New theories only follow observed new laws that need explaining.Hence my modified Casimir Cavity experiment where a laser is aimed into a hollow + shaped cavity about 1 meter long to study wave packets as a Dirac or Delta function.Over 30 years ago I studied this mathematical function for about one year. ONE YEAR! ONE FUNCTION!Dirac delta function - Wikipedia (all Wiki reference credit given as quotes in ITALICS)File:Dirac function approximation.gif - WikipediaIan Jenkins (Doctor or Professor) recently said he would be interested in hearing my ideas about how pure math and physics explain human consciousness but then added that may make me suitable for the psych ward (nty Sir!) so I waited till May 11 to answer.THe answer to his question I very thoughtfully put under the section “ Should I top coat a refinished oak floor? where some nice chap who discovered HIV (Dr J so do you see kind Sir how the quantum universe works now) I waited for you to answer a questin about HIV that I answered about 25 years ago so I could redirect to ……….lolShould I top coat a refinished oak floor? Dr Montagnier explains in the video at 1 minute 11 seconds 1:11 how the universe works and what the mind of God most likely is…….Lastly you should look carefully for proof of string theory as Quora has some of the best coders I have ever seen well exxcept for the red underscore problem….lolMimi Can you please find the backwards arrow of time where my comment was deleted May 15 2016? before May 15 2017 so we can finally prove once and for all that String Theory allows time to be variant.In the context of signal processing the delta function is often referred to as the unit impulse symbol (or function).[7]Its discrete analog is the Kronecker delta function, which is usually defined on a discrete domain and takes values 0 and 1.Alas I have miles to go before I sleep.Dr J give me a call please when you have a chance.

I can't find any interpretations about this poem by Wendy Cope?

What are the main issues of this poem and could someone say the sound patterns of this poem


Strugnell's Sonnets IV

Not only marble, but the plastic toys
From cornflake packets will outlive this rhyme
I can't immortalize you, love - our joys
Will lie unnoticed in the vault of time.
When Mrs. Thatcher has been cast in bronze
And her administration is a page
In some O-Level text-book, when the dons
Have analysed the story of our age,
When travel firms sell tours of outer space
When aeroplanes take off without a sound
And Tulse Hill has become a trendy place
And upper Norwood's on the underground
Your beauty and my name will be forgotten -
My love is true, but all my verse is rotten

-- Wendy Cope, Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, 1986

Short practical lesson ! Any Ideas ?!?

Chelsea's right about the cookery stuff. decorating & garnishing are quick, easy options for any age-group, customized at their level, of course :-)

besides, you could try
--- a dance step
-- a short pantomime
-- a song parody
-- making a greeting card
-- making a paper flower
-- origami
-- a style/technique of painting - eg. spray, string, marble, etc.
-- how to maneuver a string puppet
-- how to make a marionette
-- potting a plant
-- kneading flour
-- making a dust jacket for books
-- fabric painting
-- decorating a t-shirt

hope these help too
all the very best & have fun :-))

ADDITION : how about a card trick ? Everybody Loves a card trick. choose a simple one, which you can explain in a few minutes.
if someone has chosen handwashng, you could try knotting a tie or making a bow ;
gift-wrapping with a bow ;
covering a book ;
simple gift-wrapping ;
making a gift tag ;
folding table napkins ;
& so on.
