You get extra points if your insult opponent doesn't understand what you said.

I understood it! I studied math! Everyone look, I'm special!

Anyway, it wasn't funny.

Are you questioning the hilariousness and intellect of our dear leader Zachary?

I did find this quite funny.

Because the Sine of any number can't be greater than 1. So his penis is less than or equal to one. Also, since the sine of his penis is less than or equal to one, and his penis is less than or equal to one, that means that the number used in the sine function is also less than or equal to one.

So if you're using degrees. It's super tiny. If using radians, not so much. But it's a recurring sequence which approaches zero. So he's saying that he doesn't have a penis at all.

Using what units, though?

sin(x)=x only where x=0

He's just saying he has no penis, so units don't count.

But it should be the angle subtended by the penis, as sine only operates on angles. Or else use the hyperbolic sine.

I'll subtend you in a minute.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

Wow guys,

Other than Sprinkles, I could use this insult on all y'all and you'd be butthurt for incorrect reasons.

Guys, it's small angle approximation. Sin(x) is approximated by x when x is a small number (in radians)

But they're not equal, they're approximately equal. The fact that we're talking about his penis implies that it is a nonzero value, as he appears to definitely have a penis (his penis is not "no penis"). So if the length of his penis approaches zero miles to 2 significant digits, that still leaves the possibility that his dick is bigger than him.

DR is the most correct out of everyone here, not including Lethal. DR and Lethal are the winners (you got it too, Lurk, but as a non-registered poster I have to pretend you don't exist). End of discussion.
