If you answered "bolonie", then why are the phonetics so disjointed? (Cf.: colonel, etc.)

Toot-ahnk-uh-MOON is how I have heard British pronounce it over the phone, but I was taught Toot'n-kah-m'n' as you hear it on Merriam-Webster's site, here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?bixtut01.wav=Tutankhamen

And why are they parading him around like that? This sounds like abuse of the elderly.

Let me give you an example of what I mean.

I've been watching the Women's World Cup on TV and I hear many of the foreign commentators saying things like, "England are a good team." or "The USA aren't such a bad team."

This is grammatically incorrect, because, since only *one* entity (i.e. one team) is the subject of the sentence, the third-person singular (not plural) should be used: "The USA is a good team".

I hear my folks from Dublin using it the wrong way all the time, and it drives me nuts.

It occurred to me that we always make up funny stuff in words and wordplay but can the same be done with math? Can you come up with a funny math equation? Is that even possible? If anyone can do it, the greatest minds in the world here on YA can. Don't be discouraged if you draw a blank. It's quite possible that numbers aren't funny, and its impossible. I didn't put this question in the math section because I'm sure there are some nerdy mathematicians that will come up with some obscure algorithm or some such crap that they think is funny and nobody but Einstein would even understand it. I'm talking about a play on numbers that would make the average Joe bust out laughing. Good luck!
