Kids watch a lot of TV, Cartoons, Movies, and Video Games.
This week's Friday Funny has been inspired by these hilarious guys on YouTube called "Smosh", who have a whole series of videos all about what if thins we look at on the LCD screen were real.
First up let's have a look at Cartoons.

But what if cartoons were real, and Pooh Bear actually was the product of what he ate.
Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 is a free Application that provides a set of mathematical tools to help students get mathematics work done quickly and easily.
Students can learn to solve equations and draw graphs, while gaining a better understanding of fundamental concepts in number, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, and calculus.
Microsoft Mathematics includes a fully-featured graphing calculator that is designed to work just like a handheld calculator.
Additional maths tools help evaluate triangles, convert from one system of units to another, and solve systems of equations.
Here is a video introduction to some of the Graphical Calculator features of MS Math 4.0
MS Mathematics 4.0 Equation Solver
Here at Passy World we have only started using Mathematics 4.0 recently. So far we have mainly been solving Linear Equations.
On the main ribbon menu, we click onto "Equation Solver" and type in our equation like this.
We can then click on the "Solve" button to obtain our answer.
In Worksheet view, we can click on "Solution Steps" to get the full working out displayed.
The Equation Solver easily handles all types of Linear Equations.
By Clicking on the "Graphing" tab we can get a graphical solution of our answer.
The Graph Plotter is great to use for demonstrations of how y = mx +c graphs, (or American y = mx + b lines), as well as graphical solutions for simultaneous equations.
The plotter also does a range of other graphs including parabolas, cubics, and even three dimensional graphs.
We are planning to explore a lot more of Mathematics 4.0, as there is plenty of useful functionality available.
Detailed Review of MS Mathematics 4.0
Here is a video which shows the primary features of MS Mathematics in detail.
Remo Knops has a comprehensive review of Microsoft Mathematics on his blog.
Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 can be downloaded for free and installed on any Windows computer from the web address given below.
Most people use 32bit Windows and need to click download button next to MSetup_x86.exe option. But if you are using 64bit Windows, then click the download button next to MSetup_x64.exe option.
This guy certainly knows how to turn any boring Saturday afternoon into a whole lot of fun.
Fun Things to Do at a Drive Through
1. Drive through the drive-thru in reverse and let your passenger order. 2. Ask the price of almost everything on the menu and then order something that you didn't ask the price for. 3. Tell the employee that your window is broken. Order and then pay with your door open. When the food comes, roll down the window and snatch your order from their hands. 4. Go to McDonald's and demand a big breakfast at 11:30 at night. Put up a fight. 5. Pay for a large order in 5 cent pieces. 6. Order in another language. (Be careful what neighborhood you're in). 7. When asked if they can take your order, tell them you are just window-shopping and drive on. 8. Laugh sadistically when asked if you would like ketchup. 9. Ask the cashier how they fit into that little box. 10. If they make you wait, make them wait when they come back on. 11. Demand to speak to the manager. When they come on, complain that you did not like the way the employee said, "May I take your order?" 12. When asked if they can take your order say, "Why, can I take yours?" 13. If they ask you to wait, order anyway and keep doing it till they yell at you. 14. Pretend your car has broken down. Ask for assistance moving it. When they come out, drive away. 15. Tell them you have to use the bathroom. 16. Order a cup of water and two napkins. That's it. 17. Don't order when they come on. Just sit there. If a line forms behind you, get out of the car and cause a scene. 18. When they hand you your food, hand them a bag with all the trash from your car in it. 19. Just stare at them when you pay and get your food. Don't break your stare. 20. Honk your horn the whole way through the line.
Colonel Sanders is certainly not amused.

This is what it's like to be chicken of Colonel Sanders.

The guys who made this next video must be using a soundboard to keep blurting out phrases from the computer into the telephone. Oh my goodness that lady was polite and patient!
In this next video, the "What-If-Show" guy does some prank Mc Donald's versus Burger King calls.
So what would happen if Ronald McDonald did verse Burger King in a wrestling match. Well ponder no longer because here is the answer right here.
A lot of people think that Ronald is pure evil.

But Big Bad Evil Ronald is certainly no match for Chuck Norris.
Take Away Humour
I was just walking down the street, and I saw this restaurant called McDonald's Express. Let's see if we can try to wrap our brains around this concept -- this is a McDonald's, only faster. So, obviously, the McDonald's corporation think there are people out there saying to themselves, Oh I'd so love to go to McDonald's, but who has the time? Joke Source: Comedian Andy Borowitz
Did you read about the couple that lost the $10 million in the McDonald's contest because their daughter was an employee? What a double whammy. They lose the $10 million, plus the embarrassment of having everybody know they've got a relative working at McDonald's Joke Source: Comedian George Miller
A Mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's one day. On the way they passed a car accident.
As was the tradition when they see something terrible like that, they say a prayer for those who might be hurt.
The mother pointed and said to her son, "We should pray."
From the back seat she heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

Here is a clip from a BBC TV show that sheds some real light on typical take away ordering scenarios.
The students in my ICT class love animated GIFs. There are certainly some very funny ones out there on the Internet.
An animated GIF can be made in Adobe Fireworks by making several image frame pictures, which then play one after each other in a continuous loop.
There are certainly some people out there making some very clever animations using this basic technique.
This week we are taking a quick look at some of our favorite mini animations.
Unfortunately the following GIF is a little bit on the small side, but it is simple and funny.

Animated GIFs can also be made by capturing a set of "stills" from a video, and then copy and pasting them into an image processing program like Adobe Fireworks.

The following animation is a real favorite of ours. Just the idea of putting Sadam on a tricycle is so funny, but then with added animation it is brilliant.
We especially like how Sadam starts pedaling slowly, and then the animation quickly increases to full speed. (To see this happen. click on the picture to open it in a separate window). Definitely a 10/10 animation!

This animation is simple but effective.

Here is another 10/10 brilliant animation. It looks very realistic, and would have taken a lot of clever work to make.

This one is so cute.

Here is "Big Cat" listening to some cool songs that Little Cat made and uploaded to Itunes recently.

Being a typical rock star "bad boy" type, Little Cat got into a bit of trouble with the law, and is currently on the run heading for Las Vegas.

Little Dog doesn't seem too fussed that Little Cat is missing his Birthday Party.

This next one is a brilliant idea, and brilliantly executed.

Here are a couple of animations especially for "Alexander the Panda".

And another interesting Panda animation.

Finally, on a more serious note, here is a Christmas Card Animated GIF that we made here at Passy World a while ago.

This week we are laughing at the beauty myth. It must be hard being a modern girl, and expensive buying all of that makeup to plaster onto your face two inches thick!
There are certainly lots of aggressive marketeers out there, all making a grab for the beauty girl's dollar.

The quest for beauty and ensuing fails can start at an early early age.
