cos b

I chuckled at this (old) math joke:

You don't get it? tan b, what is it? sin b / cos b of course. You're dividing a quotient... so to simplify, flip the denominator and multiply it! Dividing means multiply the reciprocal. Ah, so the sin b cancelled and you get... cos b (or Cosby).

Do not say this is some nerdy joke. There is nothing nerdy about this.

Ok, I am sure a lot of people out out there don't get it and then say they hate math and then say what's the use of it. Yes, no one asked me to find the sin or cos or tan of anything. But I am proud to know their (simple) relationships.

Yes, that's an old picture of Bill Cosby. Now he is back in the spotlight.. and there are rape allegations against him and this is not the first time. Oh my. He was the Cliff Huxtable that everybody liked. There may not be anymore DNA evidence and there will be smartie lawyers who say well why you waited that many years and all that.

However, there is an absolute answer of he did it or not. If this is true, how horrible. If this is false, how horrible to accuse. Both cases aren't so good outcome.
