Rob goes to Dodge Ball

On π Day, March 14 (get it -- 3/14?) my high school had a faculty dodge ball tournament. Rob and I decided to join up with the Math/Science team. I'll fully admit -- I don't really have any interest in dodge ball, but I really wanted a t-shirt with my last name on the back. We all picked mathematical and scientific constants. I was e, which is a very useful constant. Can you think of any other number that would be involved with both continuously compounded interest AND rates of radioactive decay? Go, e!



Since Rob can't really talk, he wanted to be sure that the crowd knew he was supporting the Math/Science team. I made him his little word bubble. It says "Go Math/Science! Go π!"



There was a very energetic man on the Maintenance Team. Unfortunately, I don't know him since he either works at a different school or he works the night shift. Some of my teammates and I were a little obsessed with him because he bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Edward R. Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Below, see the REAL Mr. Rooney...

And here is Mr. Rooney's Maintenance Twin



Dodge ball was fun, but going out for beers after it ended was even better!
