This one time on a math test I scratched out the question and wrote in “what is pi to 100 digits?”… then wrote out pi to a hundred digits. My teacher gave me a bonus mark for the effort but the question was worth 5 points, so I lost out in the end. Hit the jump to see what this teacher did when a kid gave an excuse for not being able to complete the question due to an elephant in his way!

I have nothing to say to this except thanks to Tom for submitting the picture via the NewsTip form

Holy cow, how creative! When this news tip showed up in my queue I was nearly blown away after clicking the link. Thanks very much to aisakie for the pictures of the factories where video games of the 80′s and 90′s were made. The picture above is a shot of the factory where Tetrinos, the blocks used in Tetris, are manufactured. Never before has the public been allowed into these exclusive locations. Here’s an excerpt from the photographer’s website

Tetris:
When Alexei Pajitnov first ordered a load of bricks from Karpov Abramtsevo’s workshop, workers there were wondering who could be interested in all those right-angled blocks. No one in 1985 could have imagined those concrete Tetriminos would become world famous and constitute Russia’s deadliest weapon against Reagan’s America.

Hit the jump for a few more of the pictures and a link to the gallery.

Some advertising companies these days are really coming out with all guns-a-blazing! This one is quite clever. Worth a share anyway.
