    octagon schmoctagon, they’re all the same these days

  3. The Moomin says:

    The other two sides are in the sixth and eighth dimensions respectively.

  4. X-Phile says:

    When did Lucky Charms include rectangles?

    Cutting corners eh.

      • DrB says:

        You’re looking quite hexy today XP, but you may have missed the six points :)

      • The Moomin says:

        Where does the initial 1 come from?
        Surely the fibonacci sequence should be
        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0?

        • X-Phile says:

          I’ve thought that same thing. When I get to heaven, the first thing I’m going to do is walk straight up to Fibonacci, honk his nose and say “WTF?”

          • The Moomin says:

            I like the idea of beating up dead mathmaticians. Let’s do it.

              • MRN says:

                A mathematician went insane and believed that he was the differentiation operator. His friends had him placed in a mental hospital until he got better. All day he would go around frightening the other patients by staring at them and saying “I differentiate you!”

                One day he met a new patient; and true to form he stared at him and said “I differentiate you!”, but for once, his victim’s expression didn’t change. Surprised, the mathematician marshalled his energies, stared fiercely at the new patient and said loudly “I differentiate you!”, but still the other man had no reaction. Finally, in frustration, the mathematician screamed out “I DIFFERENTIATE YOU!”
                The new patient calmly looked up and said, “You can differentiate me all you like: I’m e to the x.”

                • X-Phile says:

                  • MRN says:

                    Three men are in a hot-air balloon. Soon, they find themselves lost in a canyon somewhere. One of the three men says, “I’ve got an idea. We can call for help in this canyon and the echo will carry our voices far.” So he leans over the basket and yells out, “Helllloooooo! Where are we?” (They hear the echo several times.) 15 minutes later, they hear this echoing voice: “Helllloooooo! You’re lost!!” One of the men says, “That must have been a mathematician.” Puzzled, one of the other men asks, “Why do you say that?” The reply: “For three reasons. (1) he took a long time to answer, (2) he was absolutely correct, and (3) his answer was absolutely useless.”

                    • X-Phile says:

                      A man was arrested at the airport for carrying a slide rule, a calculator, a compass, and several sheets of graph paper. He’s being held for transporting weapons of math instruction.

                      • MRN says:

                        A Physicist, a Biologist, and a Mathematician see two people enter a house, and then after some time, they see three people leave the house. The Physicist concludes, “My initial observation must have been incorrect.” The Biologist concludes, “Clearly, the two reproduced…” The Mathematician concludes, “Well, if one more person enters the house, then there will be no-one in the house!”

                        • X-Phile says:

                          Pythagoras…no, no, Euler was walking…
                          No, that’s not it either. I think I’m tapped out. :(

                        • The Moomin says:

                          Euclidding me right?

                        • MRN says:

                          OK, just 1 more, I promise…
                          .
                          An infinite crowd of mathematicians enters a bar.
                          The first one orders a pint, the second one a half pint, the third one a quarter pint…
                          “I understand”, says the bartender – and pours two pints.

                        • Aja says:

                          All these jokes are giving me cramps in the Noether regions.

                        • An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, a mathematician says the glass is both half empty and half full, an engineer says the glass is too big.

                        • ♀nΣ šWε└∟ ƒ∞þ (given to occasional moments of hysterical laughter, copious weeping, and most often, utter bedevilment) says:

    Let polygons be polygons :)

  12. The Moomin says:

    *exits tunnel*
    Here we are.

  13. ♀nΣ šWε└∟ ƒ∞þ says:

    This is clearly a sign that octagonal-mislabeling must STOP!

  14. MurrayHewitt says:

    I know what you’re thinking. And the answer is yes, I do have a nickname for my penis. It’s called The Octagon. But I’ve also nicknamed my testes. The left one is James Westfall, and the right one is Dr. Kenneth Noisewater. You ladies play your cards right, you might just get to meet the whole gang.

  15. (no longer) Hiding under your bed.... says:

    i bet moomin went to bed, the bastard.
    now how am i suppsed to get under there?

  16. hidingunderyourbedonceagain says:

    what do you think of my new avvie?
    (open question)

  17. hidingunderyourbedonceagain says:

    this insignificant bed monster thinks we need a new fail

  18. Hi! I’ve been out of business a while.. But here I am!
    How are you all?

  19. th.cooki.monstur says:

    i can’t belive it took me so long to get that…

  20. Hey, I was wondering.. I made a fail-picture with my phone.. Can I send it to
    FailBlog? And if so how?

  21. hidingunderyourbedonceagain says:

    wow, over the 300 mark…

  22. ♀nΣ šWε└∟ ƒ∞þ (given to occasional moments of hysterical laughter, copious weeping, and most often, utter bedevilment) says:

    I looked that wRect angle square in the eye (back in Octagonober) and said, ♫ So, you wanna be Star-tin’ somethin’ … ♫

  23. CptSoda says:

    Hexagon, octagon, in the end they are all just bad approximations of a circle.

  24. Hugh Jass says:

    I like it.

  25. Cinderpelt says:

    Hexagon, Octagon, a lot of people make that mistake.

  26. Cloral says:

    All systems go as we step into the octagon
    Feel the wrath of this: code name Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce

  27. E. coli Cephalon says:

    What!
    Has Octagone again!

  28. -Redsands- says:

    Its a recession, we have had to make some cutbacks !

  29. Nacoran says:

    I wonder if maybe people missed it because it was red, like that oh so famous octagon. What do you do when you come to a green light?

  30. Great content as usual. Keep it up! Thanks again.

  31. THOMASNATOR says:

    I don’t see the- oshi- there’s the fail!

  32. F.aris A.lphonse I.van L.angston says:

    Best octagon Ever…………..

  33. Mwahohoho says:

    You would think that if it’s printed on a school board banner, they’d get it right

  34. Blarp says:

    Yeye, some nubcake mistook a hexagon for an octagon. Big whoop.

    What really confuses me is when did “star” become a standardized geometric shape?

  35. Fail says:

    Pentagon

  36. Insignificantperson says:

    Lol, those idiots. That’s obviously a pentagram, not a star. XD

  37. Robert Austin says:

    C’mon, folks — six does NOT equal eight!

  38. crazy kitty says:

    eh,its a………hexagone……..i think…….

  39. blazethewolf says:

    no an octagon has 8 corners that 1 has 6

  40. SyngedRAW says:

    Where the hex are the other sides?

  41. firefox456 says:

    w8 i cant see the f***ing fai……THERE IT IS! WILL YOU PEOPLE TRY AND SEE WHAT UR BUILDING

  42. michael says:

    whats the failur?
