I always enjoy a challenge, but these things only cost about a quarter every year at Back to School time.
This kludge breaks all rules!
On close inspection, the pencil appears to be missing the point.
Anyone got a bigger version? I can’t tell what is is that SUX and this is bothering me.
“precision”
Kludged Curved Ruler: Far easier than math for finding the length of an arc.
wasn’t this used to build the Hubble telescope?
+1 for you.
Well crap. How many cubits is that again?
So… Does this guy have a crooked penis?
It may be crooked, but thanks to that penis enlarging spam email he got, it’s also no longer 4″, thus the need for the emergency ruler kludge.
Wouldn’t leaving the pencil *whole* have worked as well?
That’s when we found out his arm snapped in half as well.
The moth appeared to be stronger than thought after numerous attempts of trying to squash it
thats my nick name XD
::sigh:: THESE THINGS COST ALL OF 2 DOLLARS!
the shortest distance between two points is not the straight line.
it is zero
I’d hate to see this person’s sliderule.
With this ruler, pi now equals 3.
In base 4 this ruler is fine.
Margin of error in measurement….+ or – an inch. A frightening thought when + or – an inch means + or – an appendage…
Not for me! Ha ha ha!
Measure twice…. ah to hell with it. Measure once, cut once, cuss a lot.
Now I see clearly why metric units are breaking imperial units.
Actually, i was about to ask if this was metric!
It has both SAE and Metric and I am sure neither are very accurate now.
I recognize that ruler! That is the ruler Sister Mary Elephant used to beat us with in 7th grade!
Yep!
A few more pencils and this could be a weapon of mass destruction!
Or a weapon of math instruction.
looks more like an instrument of math distraction.
Also perfect for when you need a not-quite-straight edge.
Just what we kludgers asked Santa for! Thanks Santa!
This is probably just a prototype for his new 4 in one Ruler/Pencil/Eraser/Tape Dispenser super-tool. Too bad he tossed it before he could work in a stapler.
Curvature of the foot? See your podiatrist today!
You assume that it is the pencil holding the ruler together.
It is, along with the hot glue.
Wait wait wait, so his ruler broke into three pieces, so he decided to fix it by using a part from ANOTHER RULER?
This is my father’s ruler. This part was replaced twice, and other bit replaced a couple of times too, but it is my father’s ruler.
One day, your Father will pass it on to you, I’m sure.
And that makes you . . . Kenny, from Southpark?
At Catholic school sometimes the Nuns had to improvise.
We all feared Sister Mary Catherine’s ruler, that was, until it had the misfortune of running into TANK ASS! Ah Tank Ass, we all knew that those 2000 calorie lunches would pay off in the end.
If it were mine I’d replace it just for good measure.
We were out of time. They both had what the other needed to have a chance make it through. We couldn’t save both of them. A decision needed to be made. A hard, hard decision.
Its Simple just give up at this point for goodness sake ITS A WOODEN RULER! THEY ARE 99 CENTS! BUY A NEW STRAIGHT ONE!
Government budget cuts affect NASA too.
Ya’ll got tooooo much time on your hands! Thanks for the amusement as I was needing a good laugh!
WARNING: Use of this device means that inaccurate measurements are afoot!!
Hmm, maybe this was an attempt to fix the pencil?
In any case, I think they got the “measure twice, cut once” rule backward.
It’s actually a recovered artifact from MacGuyver’s early years.
- Rule of thumb get a new ruler because the only thing this measures is inconsistency and stupidity.
- Rule of thumb get a new ruler because the Old ones have way too much toxic lead in them.
- Rule of thumb get a new ruler because Drinking and measuring don’t mix.
- Rule of thumb get a new ruler cos i said 12 inches not 6 at 90 then 6 at a 162 degree angle.
- Rule of thumb seriously get a new ruler cos this guy is measuring how lame his last joke might have been.
but teacher the pencil LEAD me to not do my homework.
Jokes on them, they used their only pencil to mark measured lines with to fix the ruler.
This is why women can never be carpenters….this is union provided
you should see my slide rule!A.K.A see honey..I told you its 12 inches!
One screwd the miners, the other screwed Majors
Rule of Thumb:
Measure twice cut once
