Guys guys guys, I seriously just had to wiki Trig to remember that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse, cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan A = sin A/cos A = opposite/adjacent.

I seriously forgot SOHCAHTOA. I'm losing my mind :(

Wha...? I will never forget that, and I blame my frosh geometry teacher in high school. She told us SOH CAH TOA, and majorly hyped this joke, all year long, that the Trig teacher had. We were all excited for it, we waited another two years, and when we finally heard the story, it was the most anticlimactic moment of my life so far. Hyped for the whole year, as the best joke in the world, it want summat like this:

Once upon a time, there was an old Indian Chief. One day, while he was out hunting buffalo, she stubbed his toe on a very large rock. This amde him cross for the rest of the day, and he didn't catch anything while hunting. When he came home to his tepee, his squaw tried in vain to brighten his mood. Finally, she begged him, "What do you want to do? You're so unhappy! Tell me!" And he replied, "I wanna SOA CAH TOA!"

Oh! He wants to soak his toe! Oh, I'm laughing so hard! ...oy. Hence, I shall never forget it. So much buildup to so much letdown. *le sigh*

*g* thanks! It's pretty funny now, thinking back on it. God, we were so dramatic in high school. Tee hee.
