This just made my day.  I'm gonna memorize it for those time when I need to sound really smart.

(I think you might have misspelled "plus," though.)

I have no idea...some people actually have lots of time on their hands, and this is what they do.

Deepest limerick ever

… but a REAL limerick is supposed to have a city or place as the last word of the first line and to be about something that's funny in a much lower way. If you wanna go with the rules of the art. Maths are awesome though. I like this!

On my way to Sidney , I found the mathematics here pretty. Needless to say on a cloudless day even algebra, square roots, and trigonometry sound good in Sidney bay.

{MEH, labored the last bit!}
